Cody

PLEASE NOTE THAT UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO FLY OUR ANIMALS EITHER WITHIN WA OR INTERSTATE

NAME: Cody

BEFORE RESCUE: Came to SAFE Esperance from the pound.

BREED: Australian Cattle Dog x
BREED TRAITS: Australian Cattle Dog - Affectionate, devoted and protective of family but can be wary of strangers. Usually attaches to one person and loves to be close. Very, very high energy and highly intelligent - they love to have a job and if not mentally and physically worked enough they will be destructive. Bred to herd by nipping so is mouthy and will nip cattle, children, pets, cars, anything that moves. They have a strong prey drive with other small animals unless reared with them. Not for novice owners.

ASSETS: He’s easy going, friendly, smart, active, and playful! Cody is a gorgeous boy and has a ton of love to give to his new family.

FAVOURITE THINGS: Cody would suit an owner who can make him part of his exercise routine - Cody loves to run and have good exercise in the day! He is an active boy who loves to get out and about running, swimming and playing, he’ll then curl up for a snooze and cuddle time with his person.

ENDEARING FEATURES: That face! His foster carer describes him as very cute, playful, affectionate and smart.

OTHER ANIMALS: He gets on well with other friendly dogs and loves their company and to play with them. He could live with another friendly dog who also loves to interact after gentle, supervised introductions. We won’t place him in a home near livestock as may chase. He has not been cat tested.

GENERAL INFO: Cody walks nicely on the lead and is housetrained. He will bark if someone is at the door and is very people friendly. If given good exercise and mental stimulation, Cody can live happily with full time workers - he enjoys a good chew toy or bone to keep him busy. Cody is well behaved in the house and loves to be with you indoors in the evenings. He enjoys rides in the car as he loves to be part of your day. He knows a few commands and is super smart so with some daily dedicated command training it should be a breeze for him. He also loves the beach and water as you can see from the photos!

ESSENTIALS for Cody:

** An active, loving home, Cody will cope with being left alone for periods during the day if he is provided with plenty of toys to keep him occupied and good daily exercise.

** As Cody is a really smart boy, an owner who will dedicate time to training him and taking him out and about to expose him to new experiences.

** He’s an active boy so will need good daily exercise, playtime and mental activity. An owner that is willing to involve him in daily activities and he would love to go out for runs and exercise with his new owner.

** Cody needs a high fenced, secure yard with grass and interesting things to sniff and explore.

** Cody loves to be with his people so he needs to be allowed inside the home when you are there and to sleep inside at night.

Cody would go well in a home with older children or an adult only home. He would love another dog with a similar energy level to live and play with.
