About Koda and Sam

Meet Koda and Sam! These delightful eight-month-old Shiba Inu mixes are currently in Smyrna, TN, and they boast golden and white coats along with charming personalities. This inseparable duo is eager to find a loving home together where they can continue to thrive. Koda, the energetic jokester, is always on the move—ready to chase a ball or uncover the best chewing stick. His playful spirit guarantees fun and laughter each day. On the other hand, Sam is the calm observer. His gentle curiosity makes him a thoughtful companion, perfectly balancing Koda's liveliness, and making their bond truly special. Both boys have started basic obedience training and have mastered crate and house training. They are neutered, vaccinated, and in great health. Each has their own food bowl and crate, allowing them to share their bond while also learning independence. They enjoy chewing bones and playing with stuffed toys and are well-adjusted to spending short periods alone. At about 50 pounds each, they need an experienced owner who understands larger dogs and can provide positive reinforcement and exercise for them. A spacious fenced yard or farm would be perfect for their playful nature. Koda and Sam would likely thrive with calm, respectful older children; however, their interactions with cats and other dogs are still untested. With their contrasting yet complementary personalities, Koda and Sam promise to fill your days with joy and companionship. Are you ready to welcome this dynamic duo into your life? Get ready for double the fun and apply to adopt today!
