At just 5 years old and 9 pounds, Kody has already endured more than his fair share of neglect. He arrived heartbreakingly underweight, with a crooked tail tip from a past injury and the signs of a life where love and care were in short supply. His former owner rarely let him outside, fearing fleas—so much of the world is still new to him. But Kody is safe now in a loving New Jersey foster home, where he’s slowly learning what it means to be cared for.

Why He’s the Ultimate Comeback Companion
🐾 Enjoys being held and is happiest in your lap
🎾 Just beginning to discover the joy of toys
🚶‍♂️ Likes walks and exploring at his own pace
🐶 Coexists peacefully with five other dogs
🧠 Smart and learning quickly, especially with routine
🦷 Recently had a dental and is up to date on vaccines

What He’s Looking For
✔️ A patient adopter willing to build trust on Kody’s terms
✔️ A calm home without pressure to be social right away
✔️ Someone willing to continue potty training—he wears a belly band indoors for now
✔️ A person who understands that dogs with a rough past need a little extra love and time
✔️ A lifelong commitment to proper veterinary care, training, and compassion

Kody has been through neglect, hunger, and isolation—but he’s still got so much love to give. He’s ready for someone who will show him the life he’s always deserved. Could that be you?
