About Koda
Koda is such a GORGEOUS and totally unique pup!
She has the most adorable scruffy face with the most fabulous personality to match. She can be a little timid with new people to begin with, but once she trusts you and knows you are safe, she begins to blossom and share just how sweet she truly is.
Koda is a total mixer – but we do know she has Border Collie, Kelpie and Aussie in her mix of breeds. We think she gets her scruffy fur from a terrier or staghound somewhere in the mix, but one thing is for sure – this pup is one of a kind!
Koda needs a patient home that will provide her with all the time she needs to open up and does not place too much pressure on her while she learns how to navigate a new environment. She is an incredibly clever girl, and will need plenty of stimulation, exercise, mental and physical enrichment in order to keep her brain and body active.
Koda isn’t all that interested in being bombarded with affection and patting, and much prefers to come to you when she would like attention. She certainly enjoys the company of her human friends, but in order for her to feel safe and supported this will need to be on her own terms while she adjusts.
For this reason, she would be best suited to a home with older/teenage children who are dog savvy, or in an adult only home who have experience with working breed dogs.
Koda has the tendency to be a teensy bit of an escape artist and has shown our staff just how clever she is at opening doors – so secure fencing is a must for this little lady!
She enjoys the company of other dogs and would be happy to live with a doggy sibling with a similar energy level and temperament to her. An overly rambunctious dog would be a bit too intense for her.
Koda is looking for a home where she will be allowed indoors to be treated like a true member of the family.
