Many of you were listening when, several months ago, we told Cody's story. He is an absolutely adorable Pomeranian whose owners brought him in because "something was wrong with him." That something was a maggot-encrusted skin infection that resulted from severe neglect. (See the original story HERE ... warning: graphic.)

When we first anesthetized Cody and cleaned his wounds, we weren't sure he'd live. His infection and infestation was one of the worst we'd seen - and probably the worst we'd seen in a small dog. It was truly awful. He had to have been in such an incredible amount of pain for a considerable amount of time. But he did live. Not only that - he became a real joy around our clinic! He made himself at home and played with donated toys. He slept in a bed donated by a little girl who'd asked for WPAR donations at her birthday party. He even played with all of the other cats and dogs. He became a very happy little dog.

After he'd healed completely, Cody was adopted by a wonderful woman who instantly fell in love with him. She said she'd been praying that God would lead her to just the right pet, and she knew Cody was that dog. They really were a great match, and we were very happy. (See that story HERE ... just scroll down til you find his success story.) But last week we got some very sad news. The woman who adopted Cody is now gravely ill and unable to take care of him. We're so sad for her, and for Cody. He's now back with us, and he needs a new home.

If you know of someone who has room in their heart and home for this great little guy, we'd love to hear from you. Please call us at 785-621-4222 or visit us at 3340 E. 27th in Hays, Kansas. An adoption application is available on our website, www.westernplainsanimalrefuge.org. Just click on "Adopt a Dog."

In the meantime, we'll be showing Cody all of the love we can! Thank you all for your support!
