Today, we are thrilled to share a heartwarming tale of second chances for our good buddy Cody. The adorable pitbull puppy found his forever home this week through the tireless efforts of our staff who nursed him back to health after finding him six weeks ago, malnourished with cigarette burns on his hind, tied to a post outside a Rogers Park 7-Eleven.
Thankfully, fate led him to the our doors, where his turnaround journey began. Through our tireless efforts and the support of our wonderful community, we spread the word about Cody’s search for a forever home. Even with all he’d been through, Cody’s upbeat and friendly demeanor made him easy to fall in love with. And, as destiny would have it, a remarkable family came forward. The bond between Cody and his new guardian was easy to see and we are thrilled to see that Cody had found his loving tribe.
Cody’s adoption reminds us of the incredible transformations that occur when rescue animals find their loving homes. It is a testament to the power of compassion and the life-altering impact of adoption. Each success story like Cody’s fuels our dedication to our mission and strengthens our resolve to continue saving and transforming lives. They are also a sobering reminder of what could have been a much different story, were Cody to have been taken to an open door shelter. Overcrowding and lack of resources make it much harder for animals in these environments to succeed the way Cody has and avoid debilitating kennel experiences or at worst, euthanasia.
Getting to this point is never easy. All new guardians pay a nominal adoption fee when taking their new companion home. But the medical and rehabilitative treatment needed to nurse Cody back to health took 6 weeks and thousands of dollars to complete. Thanks to the generous support of the Famous Fido community, over $8000 was raised to offset the cost Famous Fido incurred when Cody arrived at the rescue in crisis!
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in Cody’s journey, from the compassionate individuals who discovered him to the devoted team at Famous Fido who provided him with love, care, and a second chance at a happy life. Together, we are making a difference.
