Before Cody’s owner passed away he made sure that his beloved dog Cody would always be cared for by registering him with the RSPCA Home for Life scheme.

Ms Fokker saw Cody’s rehoming appeal on the RSPCA website in January and instantly knew he was the dog for her and her family. However, it wasn’t until May that she was in a position to adopt him. Ms Fokker searched on the RSPCA website again and was delighted to find Cody was still available for adoption.

After having a successful RSPCA home visit Ms Fokker and her family made the long journey to Birmingham. They were able to take Cody there and then and brought him back to his new home.

When Cody’s owner passed away, life must have been very bleak. But thanks to the RSPCA and Ms Fokker, Cody is now settled in his new home and enjoying life, chasing leaves, playing in water, going for long walks and getting lots of fuss and attention from his new family.

  1. Wonderful story!
    It would be lovely to see Cody with his new family.
    I share my life with a blue & gold macaw He’s 6 this year& I’m 53 this year.
    He was rescued as unwanted at 9 months after living in a cage far two small for him his feathers were in a dreadfull state & his tail bald from the limited space.
    For the last 5+years he has been my smart, Loving companion growing closer as the years go by.
    An RSPCA officer visiting to inspect a rescued pigeon said ‘In allhis 30 years with the RSPCA he had yet to see a more well cared for parrot.
    His opinion made me feel very proud indeed.
    Parrots usually live formany years so to have ‘Home for Life’ is a tremendous relief & must take the constant worry away for many elderly or infirm loving pet owners.
    What a wonderful concept for all of us!

  2. This is a brilliant idea for the welfare of recently bereaved animals as long as it is just for the animals not soley to raise money,
