Arrival Story:
Koda was found running loose and turned in to a shelter. He was actually voted to be put down by the shelter because he seemed intimidating to some of the workers. Thankfully an "angel" at the shelter stepped in and saved him at the last minute for me(Thanks Ruby!!!!) He has been with us two weeks now and is absolutely wonderful. Gets along great with all his "siblings" and the rest of the family. He was apparently abused by his former owner as he will squint when you reach to pet him as if he thinks you are going to hit him, but he's coming out of his shell slowly. Hopefully the day will come when he forgets about his "other" life and only knows the life he has now...spoiled rotten!! : )

Bio:
It's been almost 6 months since Koda came to live with us and he's a sweetie. He's come out of his shell so much. It's so rewarding to see an abused dog learn to trust and love again.
