Koda

Alaskan Malamute Australian Shepherd

Male, 4 yrs 9 mos

Lake In The Hills, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

How handsome is Koda??? Have a lot of land?! Are you looking for a pup to roam it and keep away those pesky squirrels?! Koda is the boy you’ve been looking for! Born July ‘22, Koda is such a people pleasing pup! Koda is friendly with all female dogs, but can be a bully with male dogs. He’s never hurt another dog, but will pester them or try and dominate them. Not mean or aggressive, just kind of a bully. Also, NO CATS for Koda. Koda LOVES people and is extremely smart. He learns tricks within minutes, he knows sit, stay, lay down, turn around, and paw. He’s also crate and leash trained! However, he is stubborn and does what he wants when he wants. Sadly, the people who originally had him kept him in a crate 24/7 for the first year of his life. So, he is not house broken. We tried for a year to work on house training him, with no luck. He would do great as an outdoor/indoor dog where he can play outside, but come in for crate time and when he gets hots. Koda LOVES the cold, the colder the better for this furry friend! If it sounds like Koda could be a good fit for your family and you want to give this deserving dog his best forever life, fill out an application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ or find us on FB to reach out with questions.

Story

Name: Aries Oliver Breed: Border Collie / Feist Mix Gender: Male DOB: 8/11/25 Aries Oliver is a young Border Collie/Feist mix with a bright mind, a playful spirit, and a heart ready to bond. Born on 8/11/25, he’s still very much a puppy — curious about the world and eager to grow into the best companion he can be. Currently around 40/50lbs and we don’t think he will get much bigger! With his breed mix, Aries brings together intelligence and affection. He enjoys staying busy, learning new things, and engaging with his people. Training sessions, interactive toys, and outdoor adventures are great ways to engage with him and keep him entertained. He is at a wonderful age to continue building confidence and developing strong household manners. Aries would thrive in a home that can provide regular exercise and mental stimulation. A securely fenced yard is a bonus, but an active family committed to daily walks, playtime, and enrichment is a must. With guidance and consistency, he has all the potential to become a loyal, well-rounded adult dog. He is looking for a family that understands the needs of an intelligent working-breed mix and is excited to invest time in helping him succeed. In return, Aries Oliver will offer companionship, enthusiasm, and a lifetime of devotion.
