My story

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

Cody is an handsome, 11-year-old, 11-pound male white Shih Tzu looking for a loving guardian.

This adorable little dog is doing beautifully in a foster home with an easy-going dog. At his age, he’s not exactly playful, but he co-exists absolutely beautifully with other gentle-natured dogs upon proper introduction. He is great on leash; however he does walk pretty slowly and sniffs everything along the way. He is also fantastic in the car and enjoys going for a ride.

Cody lived with a family for his entire life but had been shifted around from family member, to family member until being given up to rescue in messy and neglected shape.

He has been professionally groomed, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and had a full senior work-up of bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal, and he had a dental cleaning where he had 29 rotten teeth pulled! You can sometimes see his two remaining teeth sticking out when he smiles.

Cody does have a common condition called dry eye which he takes prescription drops for twice a day.

To meet and possibly adopt Cody, please fill out an adoption application at http://www.friendsofpetraits.com.

Cody’s adoption fee of $275 benefits the rescued pets of Friends of Petraits.

He is being fostered in Chicago.
