Meet Koda <br/>*Located in the Des Moines Area*<br/>Koda is a beautiful 6-year-old brown German Shepherd with a gentle soul who is looking for a patient family to help her continue building confidence. She has a calm, low-energy personality and is happiest relaxing in the house or enjoying some quiet time in the backyard before heading back inside to her favorite spot by the door.<br/><br/>Koda is potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and has wonderful house manners. She sleeps loose in the home and enjoys spending her days collecting treasures like bones, stuffed toys, and other little items she discovers around the house. If there's a comfy place to settle down with a chew bone, she's one happy girl!<br/><br/>She lives peacefully with a cat and even chickens, she has done well with a patient Goldendoodle who respects her space. Koda is not reactive to dogs when out and about and is very observant of everything happening around her.<br/><br/>Because arthritis affects her mobility, Koda would do best in a home with minimal stairs. She'll also need a ramp to help her get in and out of vehicles comfortably. Despite these limitations, she still enjoys leisurely walks and exploring the yard at her own pace.<br/><br/>Koda can be timid with new people and is especially sensitive to fast movements, often backing away or hiding if she feels frightened. A calm, understanding adopter who will let her build trust on her own timeline will help this sweet girl blossom.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a quiet, loyal companion who simply wants a safe place to call home, Koda may be the perfect addition to your family. With patience, kindness, and a soft place to land, she'll reward you with unwavering companionship and gentle love.
