About Coda

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Coda is a striking 2½-year-old male Border Collie with a vibrant personality and boundless affection. With his playful spirit, Coda is always up for a new adventure and brings plenty of joy to every day. He absolutely loves engaging in games—especially fetch and playful tug-a-bone sessions—and is happiest when he has plenty of space to run free. Water play is another of his favorite activities, showcasing just how much he enjoys being active and outdoors. This intelligent and highly trainable boy thrives on stimulation, but it’s important to note that he does have a dominant streak with other large dogs, so Coda would do best as the only dog in your home, or possibly paired with a much smaller canine companion whom he adores. If you have an energetic lifestyle and a love for being outdoors, Coda could be the perfect fit for you. He’ll make an ideal match for an active family with older children who can share in exciting outdoor adventures, from hiking to games of ball in the yard. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
