Cody is a 9 year old Mix-Breed in Houston, TX, who needs $9,000 for Total Hip Replacement Surgery.

If you’ve ever met Cody, you know one thing immediately:

He’s ridiculously smart.

Not regular smart.
“Figured out how to ring the bell at the door to go outside” smart.

“Learns new tricks faster than humans can teach them” smart.

“Puts his paw on your arm when you say ‘help’ like he understands what you're going through” smart.

Cody is the kind of dog who keeps life interesting.

Recent X-rays showed severe hip dysplasia in his left hip, along with arthritis and joint damage.

His right hip is also beginning to show signs of dysplasia and degeneration.

Because he has been compensating for the pain, the strain has now started affecting his knees and ligaments as well.

Cody has been referred to an orthopedic specialist at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists.

Cody carries his toys around like prized possessions, and lately he’s been learning to clean up by putting them back in his toy box.

He LOVES Christmas presents — so much that if you leave them out early, he’ll happily open them ahead of schedule.

And whenever he gets a new treat or toy, he prances away with it like he just won the lottery :)

Surgery could give Cody something priceless:

The ability to walk comfortably.

To run again.

To play again.

Cody has given so much love, laughter, and joy. Having him healthy again would be an incredible gift.
