Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Handsome Koa is a German Shepherd mix who has made substantial progress toward overcoming earlier trauma in his life, and needs a patient owner who can help him feel safe and loved. He came to us in a mass rescue of German Shepherd dogs from a Georgia cruelty/hoarding case. Terrified when he arrived, he benefited greatly from a foster family who helped him fight his fears. Our staff describes his personality now as shy and reserved, and we think he'd do better in a quiet home environment away from the unavoidable stress of a shelter. They say he's "super-housetrained" and does well on his walks; if you have a dog, please bring them over for a meet-and-greet. He's about 7 years old, with a cream-colored coat. He's also neutered, microchipped and up to date on his shots. If you're an understanding "dog person" with the time and love to help Koa become the best dog he can be, please come meet him and let our staff tell you all about him, or call us at 904-321-1647 for more information. Koa will love you for it.
