Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Koa is a seven year old, young at heart, golden retriever with the energy of a three year old!
He lives to play ball! In fact he can fit 3 in his mouth at once. He loves all toys; he never rips them up though, just likes to carry them around and even greet you with one or two , whole body a wagging!
Koa enjoys walks, short runs, as well as the beach and occasionally even a short swim--if you throw the ball into the water of course. He doesn't even mind that he will have to take a bath afterwards. And he sits quite still while he gets brushed which is important because he needs to be brushed regularly. He is not interested in cats and gets along with dogs, big and small, and is great with children over three as he could easily knock down a younger child with his tail or wiggles.
Koa is as easily loaded up into the car for and adventure as he is content to stretch out on his bed and watch tv with the family. He is an all-around amazing boy who deserves an amazing home! (He needs a home with a fenced yard...not an invisible fence)
