About Koda

Koda is a 2-year-old Catahoula mix who recently returned to the shelter, looking for her forever home after a previous family situation didn't suit her needs. Sensitive by nature, she tends to be reserved around new people and requires time to build trust. Koda won’t be the dog that rushes up to greet you, but those who take the time to understand her will find a gentle spirit eager for connection. This sweet girl thrives in calm environments. She needs a household that recognizes patience is key—trust is built, not rushed. Continued positive reinforcement training will help her grow more confident, along with a family that celebrates even the smallest milestones. Koda deserves someone who sees beyond her shyness and embraces her potential. Her wish is simple: a safe place to be herself. If you believe in giving second chances, Koda is ready to start her journey with you. To meet Koda, please visit the Humane Society of Carroll County during open hours. If you're renting, make sure to bring written consent from your property owner to adopt a dog. If you have another pup, feel free to bring them along for a meet-and-greet before completing the adoption. Every dog deserves unyielding love, and Koda is waiting for her chance to belong.
