My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

CODY***CONTACT KAT katkylabrescue@gmail.com CODY'S STORY***CODY LOST HIS BEST FRIEND!!***CODY OUR "GENTLE GENTLEMAN"--LOVING--LOYAL--A TREASURE!!! WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM A WOMAN WHO KNOW WE DID RESCUE WORK. SHE TOLD US THAT A VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF HERS HAD BEEN ILL FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND HAD RECENTLY PASSED AWAY. HER FRIEND HAD A GORGEOUS BLACK LAB NAMED CODY WHO WAS EVERYTHING TO HER. THE WOMAN WHO CALLED US WAS CLOSE TO THE FAMILY AND RECEIVED A CALL ASKING IF SHE KNEW ANYONE WHO WOULD TAKE CODY AS NONE OF THE FAMILY COULD OR WOULD TAKE HIM AND THAT THEY HAD DROPPED HIM AT THE LOCAL SHELTER WHICH IS A VERY HIGH KILL SHELTER!!!! THE WOMAN WAS BEYOND UPSET AS SHE KNEW HOW MUCH HER FRIEND ADORED CODY. SHE TOLD US THAT CODY AND HER FRIEND WERE INSEPARABLE, THEY DID EVERYTHING TOGETHER, CODY HAD BEEN A PART OF HIS OWNER'S LIFE SINCE HE WAS A TINY 6 WEEK OLD PUPPY, THEY WERE BEST FRIENDS!! THE CALL TO US WAS URGENT, THE SITUATION WAS URGENT, FOR THE WOMAN KNEW CODY NOT BEING A BOUNCY, WIGGLY PUPPY AND BLACK THE COLOR LEAST ADOPTED IF CODY WAS TAKEN TO THE HIGH KILL SHELTER THERE WAS A CHANCE HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE!! "HE IS THE MOST GENTLE AND LOVING FELLOW, SO WELL BEHAVED WITH BEAUTIFUL MANNERS". THE WOMAN WAS PLEADING FOR OUR HELP AS SHE KNEW HOW MUCH HER FRIEND ADORED CODY. THE SECOND CALL WE RECEIVED FROM THE WOMAN WAS EVEN MORE URGENT AS THE FAMILY HAD CALLED HER TELLING HER THEY JUST COULDN'T KEEP CODY, DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR HIM AND HE WAS INDEED IN THE KILL SHELTER!!! THIS WAS ALL WE NEEDED TO HEAR, WE WERE IMMEDIATELY ON OUR WAY TO HELP CODY HE DIDN'T DESERVE TO JUST BE THROWN AWAY BY A COLD AND UNCARING FAMILY--THEY OWED THEIR FAMILY MEMBER BETTER!! WE PROMISED THE WOMAN WHO CONTACTED US HIS "GUARDIAN ANGEL" THAT WE WOULD FIND CODY A WONDERFUL HOME WITH A FAMILY WHO WOULD LOVE HIM FOREVER, THIS IS A PROMISE WE INTENT TO KEEP. WHEN WE FIRST MET CODY AT THE KILL SHELTER WE REACHED DOWN, GAVE HIM A PAT, AND SPOKE SOFTLY TO HIM, HE LIFTED HIS BEAUTIFUL BLOCK HEAD(SEE PHOTO), LAID IT IN OUR HANDS AS IF HE WAS SAYING "THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME". FATE GAVE US CODY THAT DAY, A TRUE TREASURE. IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT THE SOUL CAN BEEN SEEN IN THE FACE AND EYES THIS IS SO TRUE WITH CODY. HIS GORGEOUS, GENTLE FACE DOES TELL A STORY, THE STORY OF A TRUE COMPANION PUP WHO HAD DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO HIS OWNER, IN SPITE OF THE CHANGE IN CODY'S LIFE HIS FACE HOWEVER TRULY DOES SEEM TO SAY "I LOVE YOU", THE BEAUTY OF THE LAB!! CODY IS AS LOVING AND GENTLE A GUY AS YOU WILL EVER MEET BUT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT HIM IS HIS HEART AND SPIRIT. HE IS A PUP WHO LOVES DEEPLY AND FOREVER. ALTHOUGH WHAT HAPPENED TO CODY WAS NOT HIS FAULT AND DESPITE THE TRAGIC SITUATION HE WAS IN A SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE ENDED HIS LIFE, CODY HOLDS NO GRUDGE HE IS HAPPY AND GRATEFUL FOR EVERYDAY. OUR "GENTLE GENTLEMAN" NEVER MEETS A STRANGER FROM CHILDREN TO SENIORS. HE WILL GREET YOU WITH HIS OTTER TAIL WAGGING, EYES SPARKLING, GIVING YOU A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO SAY "HI I'M CODY NICE TO MEET YOU". HE IS ALSO A VERY SOCIAL GUY AND DELIGHTS IN THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS). CODY IS A FELLOW THAT WILL PLAY HOWEVER HE ALSO KNOWS WHEN IT IS TIME TO BE CALM AND WILL SETTLE DOWN CONTENT JUST BEING WITH THOSE HE LOVES, BEAUTIFUL MANNERS!! YOU CAN TELL WHEN YOU MEET CODY THAT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN HIS OWNER'S "BEST FRIEND".WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS JUST FINE WITH CODY JUST AS LONG AS HE IS WITH YOU. HE WOULD BE A GREAT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY AS HE ADORES THE OUTDOORS. CODY WILL "PRANCE" ALONG, HEAD HELD HIGH, TAIL WAGGING, EYES SPARKLING. CODY HAS A SMOOTH, FLOWING, GRACEFUL GAIT AND WHEN HE PICKS UP THE PACE IT'S AS IF HE IS FLOATING ON AIR!! CODY IN MOTION IS BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH. IF YOUR DAY CALLED FOR A TRIP AROUND TOWN TO RUN A FEW ERRANDS CODY WOULD BE THRILLED TO TAG ALONG, CAR RIDES AND LONG WALKS ARE THINGS WE WERE TOLD HE DID WITH HIS OWNER DAILY. JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR AND IN CODY WILL HOP, HE WILL FIND "HIS" SPOT, TURN HIS ADORABLE HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU HIS "O.K. I'M READY" LOOK. HE WOULDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HE WAS GOING, WOULDN'T MATTER TO HIM, IF CODY IS WITH YOU THIS COMPANION PUP IS HAPPY!!! IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS BOY IS CODY READY, AS WE SAID HE LOVES THE OUTDOOR, HE WOULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, JUST ENJOYING THE DAY, ENJOYING LIFE. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO CODY'S PACKAGE AND IT'S APPARENT AFTER SPENDING ANY TIME WITH HIM AT ALL--TRUE TO THE LABRADOR RETRIEVER BREED CODY IS ONE SMART GUY!!! HE IS EXTREMELY ALERT, ALWAYS AWEAR OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, A PUP WHO PICKS UP IMMEDIATELY WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO LEARN. HE IS A PUP WHO'S GREATEST JOY IS PLEASING HIS FAMILY AND THIS MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE. THE POTENTIAL FOR CODY IS HUGE OR MAYBE HE LEARNED ALL THIS IN HIS OTHER LIFE??? WE WILL NEVER KNOW. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU COME INSIDE, BUILD A FIRE, READY TO SETTLE IN FOR THE EVENING, CODY HAS THE WISDOM TO APPRECIATE THE SIMPLER THINGS IN LIFE. HE WILL CURL UP AT YOUR FEET, CONTENT JUST TO BE WITH YOU. HOWEVER YOU BETTER LEAVE ONE HAND FREE AS CODY WILL LAY HIS "LOVE ME" BLOCK HEAD IN YOUR LAP AND NO ONE LOVES A PAT OR A RUB MORE THEN CODY. CODY KNOWS IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS. HE IS RESPECTFUL OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, A PUP WHO IS THERE FOR YOU 100%, A CONTENTED, BEAUTIFUL, ADULT WHO LOVES UNCONDITIONALLY AND FOREVER. EVERYDAY SPENT WITH CODY IS A GIFT. WE DID MENTION BEAUTIFUL AND THIS PUP TRULY IS. HIS COAT IS SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET, A GORGEOUS, SPARKLING "HIGH GLOSS" BLACK BETTER GET YOUR SUN GLASSES WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PUP'S COAT!!! NEXT "THAT FACE", CODY HAS THE MOST GORGEOUS, DARK HONEY COLORED EYES WITH A LOOK THAT TRULY SEEMS TO BE SAYING "LOVE ME", IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO!!! WE KNOW THAT THE FAMILY WHO OPENS THEIR HEART AND MAKES OUR "GENTLE GENTLEMAN" A PART OF THEIR LIFE WILL RECEIVE A VERY SPECIAL GIFT, A PUP WHO'S FIRST DAY WITH YOU YOU WOULD THINK HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF YOUR LIFE. CODY IS A PUP WHO LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING AND ONLY ASK TO SPEND HIS DAYS SURROUNDED BY THE WARMTH OF A HOME AND TO BE A PART OF A FAMILY WHO WILL CHERISH EVERY MINUTE SPENT WITH "CODY OUR TREASURE!!!
