Story
The owner relocated out of the country for work. We are fostering Koda until we can find him a forever home! :) Koda is the best good boy! He’s a very easy dog to care for…and even easier to love. He stays by your side on walks, is super chill hanging out at Starbucks or brunch patios, and is well trained. He is quick to learn and is up for anything we do—hanging by the pool, grilling by the lake, camping, or Sunday brunch. As I said…he’s the BEST good boy. Along with the adoption, we’ll provide the following if needed: - dog bed + blanket - dog food bowl - dog water bowl w/ stand - dog collar + leash - his favorite toys

Angel is a sweet and snuggly girl who loves nothing more than curling up in her bed after a fun day. She’s a bundle of energy when it’s time to play, especially when she’s doing zoomies in the play yard or chasing after her favorite squeaky toys. Angel has a bit of a selective taste when it comes to her canine friends, so she would thrive best in a single-dog household where she can be the center of attention. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will fill your days with joy and your evenings with cuddles, Angel is the perfect match for you!Come meet Angel and let her win your heart with her loving personality and playful antics. She’s ready to find her forever home—could it be with you?The adoption fee for this pet is $75. This cost includes spay/neuter, microchip, and all vaccines.September 9, 2024, 6:19 pm
