If you’ve been waiting for a tiny, soft, cuddly best friend who believes in zero personal space boundaries, your moment has arrived.
Koala came to us as a stray on 2/6/26, and we’re estimating she’s about 3–4 months old. And let us tell you — this little girl is AMAZING.
At first, she might give you a shy little look like, “Oh hello, I’m just a small, polite puppy.”
Give her approximately 7 seconds.
Suddenly she’s:
Jumping on you
Laying on you
Rolling on you
Claiming you as her emotional support human
Once she warms up, she takes over your personal space in the sweetest way possible.
Koala is super smart. She figured out how to play fetch in about five minutes (yes, we timed it). And when she brings the toy back? She absolutely lives for the praise. Tell her she’s a good girl and watch her light up like she just won an award.
And the way she runs? She has this adorable little gallop that will melt you on the spot. It’s puppy perfection.
She’s soft. She’s cuddly. She’s affectionate. She’s playful. She’s everything you’d want in a growing pup.
Of course, like any puppy, Koala will need someone committed to teaching her all the important dog-life lessons — potty training, manners, and how to be the very best companion. With her brains and her eagerness to please, she’s going to thrive.
✨ She is available for adoption — so hurry in to meet her! ✨
