My story

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

Meet Tash. She has been fostered through DAS shelter where she was originally on the kill list. She is in danger of going back there where she will be immediately put down due to space. The DAS foster is due to start traveling and has asked us to help her find a home for Tash. Tash has had a rough life. She looks like she has been the victim of dog fights and had been bred. Tash is eager to listen, seeks human interaction and is overflowing with love despite what she looks like and has been through. She has a small frame and weighs 48 lbs. She is quiet, average energy, and really just prefers to know where you are at all times. I have never heard her bark and we suspect it may be due to previous damage to her vocal cords. Tash has never met a stranger and gets a little sad when people avoid her because of her healing scars. She would be perfect in a home where her family can show her lots of love. She needs it after what she’s been through!



About our little Tashy Washy:



-3 years old



-Has done well with gentle and patient children in a home, however, should still be supervised when newly being introduced to anyone



-Takes treats very gently



-House broken. She sometimes prefers to poop in inconvenient places like on the sidewalk or in the middle of an intersection in the town square when we go on walks.



-Knows how to sit like Queen Elizabeth herself



-Loves long romantic walks down the lumber aisle of Home Depot



-She’s a great listener and she is eager to listen! I only have to lightly correct her when she’s being a gremlin.



-Does well in a crate with some coaxing and sleeps through the night in her crate



-Wonderful on a leash but does require some training when it comes to greeting people. She’s invasive and wants to meet everyone. (we are working on it)



-She reacts to dogs on walks but not in an alarming way. She is interested and just needs slow introductions to new pets.



-Does well with other dogs but needs slow and consistent introductions (she currently gets along well with our senior German Shepard mix that is low energy) Tash needs a hero! Applications to foster or adopt are at codysfriendsrescue.org

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for adopting and not buying!!! Every week hundreds of highly adoptabledogs are put to death by local shelters. Most people would be amazed at the purebred and beautiful dogs available, if they walked into their neighborhood shelter.

Rescue organizations, like mine, work hard to save as many as we possibly can but is a never ending process with breeders and Puppy Mills selling unhealthy animals to the public. If you EVER saw a puppy mill you would NEVER buy again!

All of my dogs are neutered or spayed, vet checked, completely vaccinated, wormed, groomed and checked for heart worms. They are all are current on Heart worm medicine, flea, and tick medications. They are all microchipped as well.

Adoption fee is $300 to $350 (older "friends' can be less, please inquire. Puppies are $350 - Besides fully vetting all dogs, some of of the dogs I rescue, 1 in 5 I rescue have heart worms which is very expensive to treat. I also take in dogs who need surgeries and are close to death.

More about this rescue

About us: Cody was the first pet I owned as an adult. He was a Shih Tzu that I bought unknowingly, from a Puppy Mill. He fought for his life and barely survived, suffering for the first few months of his life. From then on I was stirred by a ferocious passion to save as many dogs as I could through networking with other rescue groups and saving the ones I could off of cold streets and unwanted in shelters. Cody did not live a very long life due to a weakened body, but I was able to love on him for eight good years! He will always be loved and forever remembered. With over 400 dogs rescued so far, we ARE making a difference!!
Thank you for visiting and considering a rescue........................
