My story

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

🐾 Meet Koa 🐾

Koa is a 1½-year-old Airedale Terrier mix with a tender heart and a story still being written. 💛

At first, Koa can be shy and cautious around new people. Sudden movements, loud noises, or raised objects make him nervous - it’s clear he’s experienced some hard moments in his past. But behind those cautious eyes is a heart full of love just waiting to be trusted again. 🥹💞

Once Koa feels safe, his transformation is beautiful. His tail starts to wag, his eyes soften, and his goofy, playful side begins to shine. He’ll quietly follow you around the house, nuzzle up for affection, and remind you what it means to love with patience and grace. 🌿🐶

✨ About Koa
