Hello People,
My name is Cody and I’m a calm, cuddly and charming bichon mix of about six or seven (years old that is) who excels at being a companion. In fact the “C’ in my name is short for COMPANION. I’m LOYAL in capital letters, LOVING (in a very sweet and adoring way) and a very mellow fellow!
My foster Mom says I’m masterful at walks and have learned that they are a fun experience. I get to smell lots of things and see pups and people on our walks. (I’m a very approachable kind of guy and so nice that everyone wants to say ‘Hello’ to me. Mom says I walk really nicely on a leash and could walk forever. I also ‘heel’ when she stops. (Mom says that shows my good manners.) Pups and people seem to like me but I’m also pretty independent and confident, yet cuddly and affectionate.
I’m housebroken which Mom says is a very good thing, and am such a good boy! While I could sleep in the Big People’s Bed I prefer to go under it instead. And you know what? Sleeping in and feeling safe is such a great thing that I’m in no hurry to get up!
Mom also wants you to know that I’m a svelte 21 pounds who is blossoming more and more every day (Silly Mom! I’m not a flower, I’m a FurKid!) and that I respond 1000% to human kindness. I appreciate every (good) thing that happens for and to me. I’m quite content to sit quietly on the couch next to you, happy to accept as many belly rubs as you want to give me. And if you want to brush or groom me, well, I’ll just sit next to you for hours doing what Mom calls “a bichon purr.” I just love (and appreciate) the attention. And looking handsome is a nice, too!
My very favorite thing in the world is to be loved and to give it back. Mom says I am a sweet and happy guy who appreciates attention – but doesn’t demand it. (I especially appreciate all the nice things Mom says about me and how kind she is!) I just need somebody to give me lots of love – and I’ll absolutely positively give it right back!
There is no doubt that I’m a special and loyal boy who is longing to make someone very happy. Mom says I’m wonderful, easy going and sweet. (Can you tell she likes me?) And while I’m close to perfect I will need you to help me understand that going for rides in the car is fun! (Right now I do not associate them with fun so I probably never got to go to fun places before I became a FurKid.)
So if you are looking for that special companion to go where you go, enjoy hanging out and looking for a new best friend please ask for me as I’m applying for the job!
Tail wags and more,
Cuddly and Calm Cody
Until the other day I was living on the street and scrounging for food. Then I was picked up and taken to a place called a shelter. It was a loud and intimidating place for a youngster like me and I became quite scared. I rubbed and rubbed my ears on the concrete until they were very swollen and bloody. And while I don’t recommend doing that it did get me ‘rescued’ right away –so that I wouldn’t make things any worse for my poor ears!
My BFK Aunties took me to the nice vet where they shaved and cleaned up my ears and gave me some meds so that my ears would stop hurting me. Thank goodness they did as it worked! I’m already healing and the hair on my ears is already growing back.
There is also a great doggy foster brother who is helping me to become more confident every day. He is doing what Mom calls “showing me the ropes”. I get to meet lots of other dogs and people — and I like them all (Best of all, they like me!) And the greatest news is that I no longer have to be alone (Didn’t I tell you I’m lucky!)
Did I mention that I like to go for rides (in the car, of course!) and on walks? Well I do – walks and car rides are the best! And when we are back home, it doesn’t take much to get me into a ‘snuggle mode’. (Mom says I do that well, too!)
Mom says I’m an energetic, friendly, loving and smart little guy, capable on standing on my hind legs for an impressive amount of time. Dad says I love to play with my toys and am getting quite good at chasing the ball and (drum roll please!) returning it. I’m also very interested in having new experiences and there are lots of them for me every day: like seeing birds and bikes – and strollers. I have already met and like a 5 year old little human. Babies also intrigue me so I may bark at first but it’s because I don’t know what they are or if they want to play.
I get along with everyone and little pups like me are my favorites. Everyone can become my new best friend! Mom says I’m a perky and active little guy who is very smart and likes to learn. For example, I’m very good about going potty. I haven’t had any accidents since my foster mom is very good with my routine and commands. While I don’t have a doggie door like some FurKids I know I could master that pretty fast. I also know the ‘Come’ command already. Mom and I are working on ‘wait’ (so we can go out the front door together.) That’s the next one on my list!
There were three of us (two boys and 1 girl) in my family, all adorable and adoptable! Our Mom is a terri-chi and Dad was a poodle mix so you could say we are mixed with cuteness.
Although I am young I am already sleeping through the night and learning to be housebroken. (Mom says that means I know to go outside to ‘do my business’ most of the time. For as young as I am that’s a great start!)
While I’m half the size of my brothers I am fearless — and will take them on in a wrestling match any day! Mom says I’m both bold and confident. I already know that I want to explore the world, love neck and belly rubs and being petted is my specialty!

My Aunties say that I’m a major snuggler – as well as incredibly sweet and eager to please! I’m also housebroken, come when I’m called, outstanding in the car, amazing at going for walks and a great companion (think Velcro)!
It’s likely that I didn’t get to experience truly being a puppy – so I’m making up for it now. There’s a little 6 month old terrier puppy that lives down the street. When we get together it’s all play! I might even be able to wear him out!
