About Kodiak

Kodiak is a squishy, affectionate German Shepherd/Labrador mix in Renton, WA, and she’s got her priorities straight: naps, snacks, and cozying up with her favorite people. At around three years old, she’s settled into life’s comforts and radiates an easygoing, loving vibe in any home. She is the picture of a loyal companion—equally at home supervising the kitchen or nestling in as the family’s most dedicated couch potato. Kodiak doesn’t seek out chaos and thrives in laid-back environments where she can lounge close by while you go about your routine. While she’s not the climb-every-mountain type, she’s happy to be included in family fun and is always ready for cuddle time or attention. She’s dog and cat friendly, and does fine with chickens and ducks, too. Kids are welcome with a proper introduction. She’s house trained, has excellent manners, and is highly food motivated. Her ideal household offers calm company, an easy pace, and plenty of soft places to nap and receive ear scratches. Kodiak is a total package for anyone looking for a mellow, loving friend with extra personality (and extra squish). What are you waiting for? Apply today!
