Cody must be adopted with his brother, Kaleb (adopted).
Description: Cody is one of a gang of five Chihuahuas that Judy rescued from the animal shelter. His owner had brought this gang with him when he robbed a post office - well, he left them in the car so I think that makes them accessories to a crime. So if Cody looks familiar, it may be because you've seen his wanted poster! Any way, aside from the minor moral slip into robbery, this owner obviously loved his dogs. They are extremely well-behaved, not yippie, and some of them seem to know tricks like rolling over numerous times. Cody and Kaleb have recovered from parvo. They have lived together their whole lives so it is our hope that they will be adopted together or into a home with another small dog. This is what their foster mom has to say about them: These boys are beautiful, and sweet as the day is long. Both weigh under 5 pounds and could stand to gain alittle weight.They are about 15 months old. I have observed no snappy aggression, or even barking or whining. They go out, they come in, they play, and they stay in the crate when I need them to be. They both love to play w/ people and each other. After saying all that- when I brought them to my friend's home, they barked incessantly and did not take kindly to the bigger dog or the small child! Who'da thunk, they would be so nervous in a different setting?! The blue one, Kaleb, is a real bonifide lapdog, and loves to play with dog toys. He is chocolate brown w/ lovely markings, blue eyes and floppy ears. The black one, Kody, is more bouncy. Cody looks like a toy minpin. His ears stick straight up and he might take off flying one of these days! These two will be a tremedous addition to a lower-key environment. They're both floor cleaners." So, do you need your floors cleaned?
