Koda - Foster to Adopt Available! Pit Bull Terrier & Black Labrador Retriever Mix Elburn, IL

Meet Koda!
Male, Neutered, Mix Breed
DOB 5/22/18

Koda is a sweet and friendly boy who is seeking a forever family. He was previously adopted from Safe Haven. Koda is a good boy and is friendly with all humans. He loves his family and wants to protect them. He is housebroken, up to date on vaccines, and an overall big lug. Jere is what his family has to say about him:
What he is good at:
He is super friendly and loves people.
He is great at snuggling, loving, and giving kisses
He loves taking long walks - he can go forever.
He is content lounging on the couch all day after a walk.
He doesn't eat more than he needs- not a hog.
Loves to play with chew toys and entertains himself nicely with one.
He is protective and keeps watch for us all.

His naughty traits:
He loves to bark at cars and people walking by.
He does not like to be disturbed or startled when he is sleeping - best to wake him up slow and sweetly so he doesn't get grumpy.
He can tear up a kong in 5 minutes - lots of dog toys needed!
He can be found licking his paws if he isn't given salmon oil and a digestive aid on a regular basis.
He gets excited and often jumps on people when he first meets them (but he does settle down and can be downright sweet).
He loves to climb into your lap - often selecting the least likely person for this honor!
