Koa -SPONSORED ADOPTION

SPONSORED ADOPTION: This means that a very generous person has paid her adoption fee already, so an approved adopter will get her at no cost!<br/><br/>Meet Koa — Your Future Adventure Buddy! <br/>Female Husky/Lab Cross ? Born June 2023 ? Spayed June 10, 2025<br/>Koa’s story began on the northern streets, but she’s ready to write a new chapter—with you. This pretty girl is a mix of brains, beauty, and boundless energy, and she’s searching for a home that will love her for all her quirks and charms.<br/><br/>Sweet, Smart & Full of Sass<br/>Koa is a gentle soul with a playful spark. She knows basic commands like “sit” and “lay down,” and she’s eager to keep learning—especially if treats are involved (and trust us, she LOVES treats). She’s got a husky’s voice and isn’t shy about using it to ask for attention or share her thoughts. She may gently place her paws on you, but it’s all affection, and she responds beautifully to positive guidance.<br/><br/>Social Butterfly in Progress<br/>Koa has enjoyed leash walks with gentleman, King, and their shared curiosity made for a joyful stroll. She hasn’t had off-leash playdates yet at the shelter, but she’s shown interest in tug-of-war with people and played wonderfully with a volunteer’s personal dog in their yard. They even shared frozen rib bones with zero food aggression—just playful swaps and happy tails.<br/><br/>Built for Action<br/>This girl doesn’t just walk—she sprints! Koa thrives on movement and would love a home that embraces her athletic side. Whether it’s hiking, jogging, or agility training, she’s all in. She’s strong on leash (think sled dog power!), but she’s learning to adjust her pace and shows promise with consistent training.<br/><br/>Mischievous & Marvelously Clever<br/>Koa’s got a sparkle in her eye and a knack for problem-solving. She’s been known to “borrow” toys and treats from neighbouring kennels—always with a cheeky grin. She appears to have mastered the art of lifting the chain link gate latch and can scale a 4ft fence, so a secure yard is a must. Her cleverness makes her a great candidate for puzzle toys and advanced training.<br/><br/>Curious & Cat-Friendly<br/>Koa has met cats and foster kittens with curiosity and gentleness. She mostly wanted to sniff and wasn’t quite sure what to make of these unfamiliar little creatures—but showed no signs of aggression towards them.<br/><br/>Road-Trip Ready & Bath-Time Brave<br/>Koa rides well in the car, loves sticking her nose out the window to sniff the breeze, and even hopped into the bath tub at Pet Valu Meadow Lake like a champ (though she wasn’t thrilled when the water turned on—fair enough!). She skipped the dryer but enjoyed a towel rub and plenty of treats from the store staff.<br/><br/>Koa went on a road trip in the country with male Spirit in October/25. She can be a busy body that needs plenty of mental and physical stimulation. She loved the smells, swimming and being able to run full tilt down the path. She always came back when called and had to check in when she thought we were too slow! She was excited on the drive out but calm on the way back.<br/><br/>Pretty in Pink & Ready to Love<br/>Koa picked out her own bone and proudly wears her new pink collar. She follows her person everywhere—literally jumping a gate just to see what you’re up to. She’s loyal, affectionate, and full of potential. If you’re looking for a companion who’s equal parts cuddly, clever, and comically mischievous, Koa might just be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Ready to meet your new best friend? Koa’s waiting—with a wagging tail and a heart full of love. <br/><br/>Regular adoption fee for dogs is $300; if the dog is too young for spay/neuter prior to adoption then a $300 post dated spay/neuter deposit cheque (OR PAD form) is also required - we don't cash this cheque but hold it until cheque date and proof of S/N surgery provided by the date on the cheque - typically when the pup is 6 months of age. Occasionally we adopt out particular animals at fundraising prices to help offset our vet bills, each fundraiser dog will be posted as such with the adoption fee noted. The adoption fee includes spay/neuter and rabies ONLY if surgery is done with our Meadow Lake vet; otherwise adopters are responsible to pay those fees at their own vets.<br/><br/>Use our online application form found at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Q1Xw1ArXT3owIBuG8O25Ioqmx1_NWGgi9eXIhOO_0dg/edit?pli=1<br/><br/>Also Join us online at - www.facebook.com/mldhs<br/>We upload our pet's video clips to www.youtube.com/mldhs1 - search there by name of the animal that interests you; you may often find more than one clip.
