“Why work with people when you can work with dogs”
Hi there my names is Cody. I’m 30 yrs old and live in South Orange County with my two rescue pit bulls. Ive been working with dogs for over 10 years now and have gained a lot of experience and training. For 6 years I worked as a floor supervisor at a doggie daycare here in south oc and through them I was properly trained to give baths, trim nails, administer insulin shots and oral meds. I have a lot of experience with positive reinforcement clicker training. I hope to met your pup someday!

Dog Boarding in Orange County
The OC is one of the most iconic destinations anywhere in California, not to mention the entire United States! And if you visit this beautiful part of the world with your pooch in tow, there’s no shortage of wonderful dog-friendly experiences just waiting to be explored.
Orange County also boasts a wide range of paw-some animal rescue groups that are always looking out for the needs of unwanted, abandoned, abused, and neglected animals in the area.
Orange County Humane Society (OCHS) is a perfect example. Founded in 1949, OCHS has provided shelter and care to hundreds of thousands of animals in need, helping them get back on their feet and find permanent homes. With a mission to protect abused, unwanted, neglected, and under-appreciated animals, OCHS plans to keep pursuing this mission until stray and sick animals no longer roam the streets.
The Pet Adoption Center of Orange County is another of the region’s dedicated animal advocates. With a mission to help adoptable pets find loving people and the resources they need to be a family for life, the Center accepts pets from local animal control agencies and animal welfare organizations. Those pets are housed in a modern, comfortable, adoption-guaranteed facility in Lake Forest, where they receive much-needed care and shelter before being paired with loving owners.
These are just two of the animal rescue and welfare organizations serving Orange County. There are many, many other wonderful groups which we simply don’t have the space to mention here, but all of them do amazing work for the animals and all are worthy of recognition.
