About Kodiak

Meet Kodiak! Kodiak is a 3.5-month-old Mastiff/Shepherd mix weighing in at around 28 pounds. He arrived in Salem, OR, from Washington with his siblings after being rescued when they were just six weeks old. Kodiak is naturally friendly, having grown up surrounded by people and dogs, and is now searching for his forever home. This charming guy is quite the talker! He enjoys snuggling up to his person and engaging in quiet "chats" while getting cozy. His impressive hound-style howl makes for a fun greeting when his caregiver returns home. Though he can be a bit cautious, retreating to safe spots when uncertain, a patient family can help him gain confidence as he learns to navigate the world. Kodiak's food enthusiasm shows he may require training in patience during mealtimes, but he has not exhibited any food aggression — he simply loves his meals. Kodiak thrives on long walks, digging in the dirt, and playing tug-of-war. He enjoys exploring and following his humans around. He’s already learning to come when called and would benefit from continued training and positive reinforcement. Kodiak is good with dogs and kids, making him a great family companion. He’s likely to do well with cats with the right introductions. If you're looking for a sweet, snuggly boy who will keep you informed about his day, Kodiak can't wait to meet you. His adoption fee is $495, and he has received age-appropriate vaccinations and is microchipped. Ready to meet Kodiak? Apply today!
