Koda's Story
Koda, neutered male, 8-months-old, 33-lbs<br/>If you would like to give KODA a forever home, please contact<br/>abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto<br/>abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application<br/><br/>About Koda:<br/>Koda's mother was dumped in the mountains last year heavily pregnant and looking like she was about to give birth at any moment.<br/><br/>Starving, she inhaled the food we provided like a vacuum cleaner. With no scratches and looked relatively clean, it was obvious she used to have home but abandoned by one heartless owner.<br/><br/>Fortunately, she had a very sweet, people-friendly personality, so we were able to found her a foster home smoothly. Less than three days later, she gave birth to an astonishing 11 puppies! It was overwhelming, to say the least.<br/><br/>The sheer exhaustion and hard work of caring for 11 puppies is beyond words. Over time, six of them were successfully adopted. However, despite multiple adoption drives in Taiwan, we could not find the right homes for the remaining pups., which led us to look for international adoption opportunities.<br/><br/>Koda and Kenzo are two of those remaining puppies. They have very distinct personalities- one is calm and steady, while the other is lively. Both are incredibly smart.<br/><br/>Koda is highly food-motivated, which makes him a breeze to train! He will bark to alert you when strangers approach the house, but he stops as soon as he is told to. He is an absolute cuddle-bug who loves to cling to his humans, yet he does not have separation anxiety. He is also full of puppy energy and absolutely loves chasing and playing with other dogs. Despite his young age, Koda is very well trained in recall and basic commands. <br/><br/>Please view Kodas videos at: <br/>Follow the commands well<br/>http://youtu.be/d5xu3W9XEec<br/>http://youtu.be/vEfKlBX3brc<br/>http://youtube.com/shorts/W6UYPD600F8<br/><br/>Interaction with strangers.<br/>http://youtu.be/ygTk15561g4<br/>http://youtu.be/ZkTDlOZmSQg<br/>http://youtu.be/2Sv4iBQS4rE<br/><br/>First Party<br/>http://youtu.be/lCQMD8cxbi0<br/><br/>Interaction with kids.<br/>http://youtu.be/gOCo4ekMCok<br/><br/>Meet with the cat.<br/>http://youtube.com/shorts/X0PPRhthqLI<br/><br/>Good with dogs.<br/>http://youtu.be/NapDLrLpUbw<br/>http://youtu.be/5EKvO1jM5y8<br/>http://youtu.be/pU2y0tZNI_s<br/><br/>Koda on the beach.<br/>http://youtube.com/shorts/3cD1soTlzk0<br/><br/>Koda's recall is pretty good.<br/>http://youtu.be/dzIG1JSL0EA<br/><br/>Has no food aggression with dogs and humans.<br/>http://youtu.be/wbdGjuYWuE8<br/><br/>Leash walk training<br/>http://youtu.be/JcFvJsT9pag<br/>http://youtu.be/lz7a11YgYuM<br/><br/>Temperament:<br/>Energy level: Medium <br/>Ideal home environment: Quiet or active both <br/>Is the dog good with strangers: Warms up in a couple minutes<br/>The dog is best with children of what age group?
