About Kota

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Meet Kota! Kota is a loving 7.5-year-old Siberian Husky who thrives with one-on-one attention. He’s a sweet boy who adores cuddling, playtime, car rides, and singing his signature a-wooo. Kota is an expert at basic commands such as "sit," "lay down," "wait/stay," and his favorite—giving paw. He has a soft spot for hard squeaky toys (they last longer than plushies in his paws!) and absolutely loves treats. This boy is house trained and reliably lets you know when he needs a trip outside or when he’s hungry or thirsty. Lynchburg Humane Society is assisting in finding Kota his new home, but he is not currently in the shelter’s custody. Direct all questions and inquiries to the contact information in his profile. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
