About Koda Courtesy Listing

Koda is an 8-month-old black and white Border Collie mix weighing around 40 lbs.

In his current home with other dogs, Koda gets along well with two but doesn't connect with the younger male, making him better suited as an only dog or with a gradual introduction to another. Koda is crate trained and fully house trained. He knows basic commands like come, sit, down, and place, and he genuinely aims to please. This affectionate boy loves to snuggle and thrives on belly rubs. Koda is located in Richmond, VA and is up to date on vaccinations. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
