Cody is a sweet, snuggly shepherd-mix puppy with big ears and an even bigger heart. He arrived shy and underweight, and every day he's growing braver, stronger, and more sure that the world is a kind place.
Cody wants to be touching a person at all times. Sit down and he'll be on your lap, at your feet, or tucked under your chair — wherever he can stay close.
For a puppy, Cody is remarkably calm and quiet. He's more of a homebody than a whirlwind, happiest settled in next to his people.
He picks things up quickly. Only a few days into training, he's already making real progress on potty training, leash walking, and basic manners.
The world is still a big, new place for Cody and he's timid around a lot of it. We're actively building his confidence, and he gets a little braver every day.
Cody has done well with medium and large dogs. He clings to humans first, but if there's a dog on the couch, he wants to be right next to it.
He's been held by kids and likes them just as much as any other human — which is to say, a lot.
Cody was owner-surrendered to Multnomah County Animal Services along with his mom, his brother, and three sisters. The whole family came in extremely malnourished. Street Savvy Dog Rescue stepped in and pulled several of the puppies into foster homes, and Cody landed in ours on September 11, 2026.
He's only been here a few days, and already he's eating well, filling out, and starting to trust that people are safe. His energy is on the low side while he recovers, and it may pick up as he gets healthy. Right now, he mostly just wants to cuddle.
Ideal home: A family that wants an affectionate dog, because Cody gives affection freely. He'd do best as the second dog in the house, with a confident, kind mentor dog to show him how to be a dog and help him find his courage. A household with kids would suit him well, too. He hasn't met a cat yet. His neuter is still to come.
Cody is just a few days into his training, and he's off to a great start!
Everything is a work in progress, and that's exactly what you'd expect from a puppy who arrived days ago. Potty training is furthest along. Leash walking, basic commands, and manners are all underway, and confidence-building is woven into all of it. Cody is smart and eager to be close to his person, which makes him a quick and willing student. Gentle, positive reinforcement in his forever home will keep that momentum going.
Because one photo of Cody is never enough.
