My story

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

KOA

Koa is absolutely wonderful, and a total cuddle bug. Her favorite place to be scratched is on her chest and near her armpits, which she`s happy to roll over and ask for.

Those are adorable white whiskers and freckles on her face- NOT scars!

She takes treats gently, loves to fetch and chew up her toys, loves attention and is curious about everything! She hops like a bunny when she`s happy and excited. She knows how to sit/stay. She could be a good running buddy and will be active but not OVERLY active. She`s patient with kids, and is very smart.

She will make a wonderful addition to any family, either as an only dog, or hopefully once she`s socialized, a pack
