About Koda

Say hello to Koda, a large, handsome Chocolate Labrador Retriever mix with a famously sweet nature—some volunteers even nicknamed him Fozzie Bear. Koda is about two years old, already knows his basic commands, and his walking skills are coming along nicely. Found running in the rain, he quickly attached himself to the family who brought him in, showing how much he values human companionship. Koda is dog-friendly, appears to be house-trained, and will be both vaccinated and neutered on June 26th. If you have another pup, he will need a few meet-and-greets as part of the introduction process to be sure everyone gets along. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
