About Koda

Meet Koda - The Fluffy Drama King with a Heart (and Eyes) of Ice Blue

Koda might look like he stepped off the cover of Arctic Dog Monthly, but don't let those gorgeous looks and piercing blue eyes fool you - this guy is equal parts majestic snow dog and hilarious goofball. Surrendered by his previous family for being "too energetic" (translation: he acted like a normal husky puppy), Koda was heartbreakingly scheduled for euthanasia before Wags got a hold of us. Now he's living life like he means it - and he's looking for the kind of family who understands that smart, stubborn, and sassy can also mean perfect, with the right match. Koda's greatest hits include striking husky/malamute good looks that turn heads wherever he goes, bright blue eyes that say "I'm plotting something" (spoiler: it's usually adorable), and a love for playing keep-away (he's undefeated and proud of it). He LOVES other dogs - all shapes and sizes - and would thrive with a dog buddy. Sniff walks, snow zoomies, and chasing leaves are his idea of a good time. He will absolutely argue with you, but he doesn't scream like a typical husky; he has plenty of opinions, but shares them in a respectful, inside-voice kind of way.

Ideal Home

Koda needs another friendly, playful dog to keep him company, and a fenced yard for zooms, mischief, and lounging. He'd do best with someone who has northern breed experience (or a good sense of humor and decent cardio). A calm, patient adopter who can appreciate his selective hearing skills would be wonderful. A bonus if you think a little stubbornness is just part of the charm.

Ongoing Health

All dogs receive the best in veterinary care and are spay/neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated.

Training & Support

Koda has plenty of opinions but shares them in a respectful, inside-voice kind of way. He may have selective hearing skills, so patience and positive reinforcement will be key.
