About Kota
Kota is a black and white Border Collie with soulful eyes and a clear zest for life. At four years old, she is athletic, smart, and always ready for action. Kota lives for chasing balls and frisbees, and you'll see her light up with each toss. When it comes to fetch, she has stamina to spare and will happily keep you company outdoors for as long as you want to play. She's already skilled at basic commands and enjoys learning new things. If you're into running, hiking, agility, or training games, she'll match your energy and then some. Around people, Kota melts into a companion dog—she really just wants to be part of the team at your side. She rides well in the car, loves leash walks (especially with a harness), and asks for nothing more than belly rubs after a long day. Unlike many Border Collies, she's impressively quiet and barks very little. Kota does have strong herding instincts, making her best suited for a home without small children. She needs to be the only pet, as she tends to want all the focus and affection for herself. For an active adopter who can give her plenty of exercise and mental engagement, she’s a rewarding partner. Kota is currently located in Mason City, IA. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
