My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there! My name is Koda! I am a handsome boy, very charming and sweet! I am a 1-year-old, neutered male mixed breed dog who weighs 41 lbs. I came from a loving family who could no longer take care of me. I don't really understand why I am at a shelter, but I do know how happy I am when these kind volunteers come rescue me from my small cage and take me for a walk. I love it! I'm always so happy to see people and I love to go for walks. It's one of my most favorite activities. I get along great with other dogs, both male and female. I am active and playful. I love toys and chasing the tennis ball. Running in the yard, stretching my legs, makes me super happy. I have a contagious smile, by the way. I can turn any gray day around for you. I have a loving, friendly personality. I give wonderful doggie kisses and I really like to share affection and attention. People are the best! I'm a smart boy, too. I know how to sit, shake, stay, come, spin, roll over, down, high five and other paw and I work for treats and praise. I'm housetrained and crate trained. If an all-around wonderful dog is the right pet for you, please think of me and give me a chance. I'd love to be your newest family member. Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.

Adoption and Foster Care Application


NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.


Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Examples:


Adoption Process:
Complete the application at www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
