Cody is finally adopted!
After half a lifetime of waiting for his angel, our dear Cody has finally found his forever home! We are so happy beyond words because he couldn’t have found a better home. For that, we are eternally grateful to his new pawrents for giving him a chance.
In his new home, Cody has since settled in very comfortably, going for walks and drives, as well as dog friendly cafes. In short, Cody is living a life he did not even dare to dream of previously.
We would like to thank all the kind angels who helped Cody in one way or another, and for saving his life.
Five years ago, Cody was part of a pack of strays near the northeast area.
While there was a regular feeder that would feed them every evening, there were vast developments, and limited space. The strays were, unfortunately, forced to fight for food and territory.
Cody was one of dogs that was attacked resulting in a gaping wound on his rump. His feeder saw his injury and contacted us for help, which we did. Our initial plan was to trap Cody, treat his wound, sterilize and release him back.
However, as Cody’s wound took almost 3 months to heal as he had a very bad skin condition, we did not want to release him as it would have been too risky to release him back. We were concerned he may not have survived after spending many months indoors.
Besides his skin condition, Cody was also diagnosed with heartworm. He was so sad and weak, and kept to himself all the time. It seemed as though he had given up on life.
Things only started to look up for Cody 10 months after his rescue, when volunteers spent much of their time and effort to get him treated and rehabilitated.
This poor quiet boy had spent almost 6 long years waiting for a place to call home. As Cody is not one who would show affection readily, he was always overlooked at adoption drives. It did not help that he had some health concerns with a spleen condition and sensitive skin that requires care. He gets enquiries but it never gets beyond that.
We felt terribly sad for him each time he gets uprooted after having settled in a place. Over the years, he had a look of stoic resignation towards his fate.
But now, there is hope again, and we LOVE a happy ending like Cody’s.
Once again, we would like to thank everyone who has helped Cody find his happily ever after – from his new owners, to all the volunteers who gave him their time.
