11/15/20 Cody our little tripod puppy was adopted today. This sweet little 4 pound, 4-month-old puppy was found hobbling along the streets. Some very kind police officers found him. He was severely matted, full of fleas, and without a doubt, even to their non-medical eyes they knew something was terribly wrong with his back leg. The kind officers knew that this tiny puppy needed to get to a vet right away to be checked out. Cody was brought to the specialty vet. The specialist took x-rays of his right rear leg. It was found that this leg was broken in 2 places. The breaks were not new and the damage was extensive. The orthopedic vet felt it was better for them to amputate the leg rather than try an orthopedic surgery that wouldnt necessarily hold, and his recovery would be long and difficult for a puppy, with no guarantee it would be successful. And so, this tiny puppy became an adorable tripod. Heck, he never needed that leg anyway. It hadn't done him any good for a while and he was getting along just fine without it.

Cody was taken in by a rescue who usually took in big dogs. They called United Yorkie Rescue and Cody became a UYR dog the very next day. Cody loved being in his foster home. He gave everyone kisses, He had doggie friends, toys, good food, and lots and lots of love. He didn't miss that leg at all. In fact, this puppy was running everywhere he could. His foster parents knew that it was very important to find the right forever home for Cody and today that happened. He has a stay at home mom, a doggie friend, a wonderful fenced yard, doggie beds everywhere, and toys and toys and more toys. Cody didn't stop for a minute and went from toy to toy to toy. It was toy heaven for him. His new backyard has a lot of great smells and a lot of room for running and playing. Cody has found his forever family and his forever home. He will have love, and care, and kindness the rest of his life. Happy Tails to Cody our little tripod baby.
