Cody is a deeply sensitive boy whose past has left him fearful and unsure of the world around him. He’s very scared and still learning how to feel safe in a world that hasn’t always been kind. Right now, Cody needs space, patience, and most of all someone who believes in him, even when he’s not quite ready to believe in himself.

Though he keeps his distance for now, Cody's fear is not who he is - it’s what he’s been through. With time, gentle care, and consistency, there is hope that he will begin to open up and discover the comfort of human companionship. Every small step he takes will be a quiet milestone on the road to healing.

Cody is searching for a calm, understanding home with people who will give him all the time he needs - without pressure or expectations. A quiet environment, ideally without young children, would suit him best. A confident, calm dog companion may help him feel more at ease and show him that not all experiences need to be scary.

If you have the patience, empathy, and heart to help a dog like Cody, you could be the one to change his life. He may not show it right away, but deep down, he’s hoping someone will see the gentle soul hiding behind the fear.
