Fast forward to today—Koa is thriving in foster care and his glow-up is nothing short of incredible

He loves affection from his foster parents, has been the perfect houseguest, and gets along beautifully with the other dogs in the home- he has even done well with cats!

Koa is a medium to higher-energy pup who would love an active family to keep up with his goofy, sweet personality.
