About Koda

Koda is a fun, lively, medium-sized American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a cheerful personality and easy humor that catches you off guard. She rolls out of bed each morning full of excitement, tail always going, ready to see what her people are up to and join any adventure that comes her way. At around four years old, she’s got the smarts and confidence that come with a little life experience—there’s a wisdom to the way she surveys the room, but she’s never above tilting her head and goofing off when she spots something new. Koda is new to rescue, but she’s already making friends with staff and volunteers. She welcomes people and dogs alike, curious but never overbearing. Koda is looking for a family who will enjoy her energetic spirit but also appreciate a dog who enjoys a little downtime after the action is done. She was born April 16, so she carries a bit of that Aries boldness—expect lots of enthusiasm and the occasional stubborn streak. You’ll need to meet Koda in person before adopting, and she's ready to brighten someone’s home with her quirky charm. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
