My First Foster

Meet Kody

. He's an Aussie mix that is simply gorgeous. He is a very "happy go lucky" kind of dog. All he wants is to be by your side and have your constant affection. Which makes me wonder how he ended up in the position he's in. A lady found him with a collar (no tags) and kept him for a week looking for his owner. After no one came forward, she took him to the OKC shelter.

That's where I came in. 

After a day and a half of trying to reach a lady that said her rescue would take him in (mind you dogs only get 3 days before they're put down) we were able to reach her only for her to say she was backing out. So All 4 One Rescue stepped in (visit their facebook here) and I was able to foster. I picked him up on his last night.

And man was he a dirty boy! But so very sweet.

He knows sit, is housebroken, and seems to get along very well with all sorts of animals. Yep, even my guinea pig and hedgehog. All the while, the smile never leaves his face.

He is seriously one of the best dogs I have ever met. And in all of my volunteering and animal-loving, I have met quite a few winners. He really does just love loving you and being loved back.

Kody is the kind of dog that always wants to be by your side. He will curl up and fall asleep at your feet every time. He's the true, stereotypical loyal dog. 

It's going to be really hard for me to say goodbye to Kody. Not only because he's my first foster, but because I know I will never meet another dog like him. There are a lot of happy, sweet dogs but very few that are calm. And even less that have that genuine sparkle in their eyes.

Mostly though, I'm just happy to have been able to save his life. There were so many people involved in saving him and I am so glad that he has confirmed things I always knew. The first being that: This is me. This is what I am meant to do. Not just save one, but hopefully save thousands. Kody has also showed me how important it is that the rescue community works together and how awesome some people can really be. 

P.S.- Another amazing rescue involved in saving Kody is PAWS. They are a cat rescue but never stopped fighting to save him. You can visit their facebook here.
