Hi there! I'm Koa, which means "warrior in Hawaiian. I'm a friendly playful Terrier mix who's eager to find my forever home. I'm about 2 years old and full of energy. I was in pretty bad shape when my foster mom found me, but since then I've gained a lot of weight and I'm thriving! I love playing fetch, going on long walks, snuggling up with my humans and foster siblings for some downtime. I get along great with other dogs and kids, and I'm learning my basic commands with a wagging tail. I love training because I get yummy treats! If you're looking for a loyal companion with a heart full of love, I'm your guy!
Special Notes: I'm neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. I'm also house-trained and crate-trained. I'm looking forward to meeting my new family and bringing joy to their lives!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
