My name is Koda!

🌟 Adoption Spotlight: Meet Koda! 🌟

Say hello to Koda, our handsome and intelligent Border Collie mix! 🐾
Koda is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated with Bordetella, Distemper, Lepto, and Rabies. He’s also on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention — healthy and ready to go! He is around 5 years old.

This sweet boy is crate trained and does well with other dogs, though he prefers larger canine friends over smaller ones. Like any Border Collie, he’s got a natural prey drive and a strong desire to run, so a fenced yard and an active home are a must. Koda isn’t suited for livestock work — he’s looking for a companion home where he can use his smarts for play, training, and fun adventures.

Koda is extremely intelligent and eager to please. He knows sit, hug, and roll over, and is working on improving his recall. Once he learns something, he doesn’t forget — he’s a fast study and a total people-pleaser!

Though shy at first, Koda quickly warms up with patience and kindness. He can be a submissive pee-er, so gentle introductions are best. He’s also a bit of a “perimeter dog” — he loves running the fence lines, exploring his space, and keeping an eye on everything happening around him.

Fun fact: Koda has had his name for several years and knows it well, so his future family will need to keep “Koda” or choose something similar like “Kody.”
If you’re looking for a bright, loyal, and athletic companion who will keep up with your adventures and make you laugh along the way — Koda might just be your perfect match! 💛
