About Koa
Hi! I’m Koa and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR KOA
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/qrqWb9tEzhDNtJBw9
NOTE: You are unable to meet Koa until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Koa in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.
What I need in my new home:
•Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
•Further training with basic doggie manners
•To be allowed inside with my family
•A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
•I like both friendly male and female dogs
•Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
•Lots of toys and mental stimulation
•Lots of love and attention
•No young children as when I'm excited I get bouncy, older children who will be involved with my training should be ok.
•Being a social and playful pupper I would love to go to doggy daycare
• I am a clever, young and active doggo - I would be great for dog training, trick training, agility etc.
•Being an active breed I have a lot of energy so an active family is a must!
•Doggy daycare and group socialisation classes would be highly beneficial for me.
•I appeared scared of cats when meeting them at the shelter however once my confidence around them grows I might be more inquisitive. If going to a home with a cat they must be dog savvy and we must be introduced slowly.
•A doggie companion is preferable to keep me company when my family isn't home or a family that is home all the time. I suffer from separation anxiety which results in barking and possible destructive behaviours.
Things that I don’t want in my new home:
•To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
•Not to be allowed inside with my family
•Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
My best features:
•Wiggle butt
•Highly food motivated
•I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
•I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
•Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
•I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks.
Where I need to improve / Training required:
•I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
•I love my food so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier.
•I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you
•I can be a bit bouncy - training should stop this
•I may show signs of anxiety when I'm left alone in the backyard. Leaving me some enrichment toys/treats may help this.
•I am scared of thunder & fireworks and will whine. I will require a safe space to retreat to during these events as well as comfort and reassurance from my family.
•As I have not been allowed inside before I am not housetrained yet
•I am social with other friendly dogs however I will react if they are too full on or reactive to me, further socialisation is recommended.
