Cody’s Rescue Story

September 25th, 2009

C.A.R.E. (Castaway Animal Rescue Effort) rescues neglected and abused animals. A great success story of theirs is about a sweet dog named Cody. Cody lived with a family where he received very little, if any, attention or care.  For over a year, he was changed in the same spot.  He was seldom fed or given water.  Most nights Cody fell asleep at night hungry. Had this continued, Cody would have been destined to certain death. Lucky for Cody, a C.A.R.E. volunteer was informed of his situation.

Volunteer Heather spoke with the owner about Cody’s living conditions. Somehow, the owner thought Cody’s conditions were fine and claimed she was taking proper care of him. Heather explained that Cody was being neglected and if she was not able to provide a healthy, happy environment for an animal, she shouldn’t have one. Luckily, The woman agreed to turn Cody over to Heather.

After a thorough examination at a local clinic, it was determined that other than malnourishment and dehydration, Cody was healthy and only needed some love and good food. Sadly, many people, like Cody’s owner, grow up thinking this is an acceptable way to keep a dog. That is why it is up to us to teach them that this environment and way of life is not acceptable for any animal. As you can see in the after photo, Cody is doing great at the shelter. He has regained his self-confidence now and is starting to put on weight. He is eager to please and thanks his helpers each day with lots of kisses.  He is up for adoption right now. If you would like to meet Cody, please call the shelter at (417) 875-6565. They are located in Aurora, MO.

   I really believe that many people are like this. They don’t know what it means to have a dog. They aren’t cruel, just ignorant.
