Meet Koda! This charming black and white Australian Shepherd mix is around 9 years old and weighs 31 lbs. Currently located in Alexandria, VA, Koda is a sweet, calm, and friendly pup who’s been neutered and is up to date on vaccines. Koda thrives on attention and enjoys soaking it up from his family. He’s fully house trained and loves to go for walks, where he behaves wonderfully on a leash. He truly enjoys his outdoor time, making a fenced yard essential for him. Be aware, he’s a bit of an escape artist, so keep a close eye on him when the front door opens! While conventional dog toys don't excite him much, toss him an empty 2-liter plastic bottle, and he'll be over the moon. Koda loves to play with other dogs, making him a great potential brother, though he’s also content as your one and only. However, he should not be placed in a home with cats. Having overcome a tough past as a stray, Koda once had an untreated leg injury. He now walks with a slight limp, but his vet sees no long-term concerns. Koda is a gentle and loyal companion who would thrive with someone who understands his needs for a secure environment and plenty of love. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
