Koda

Meet Koda, a playful two-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd from Long Beach, CA, whose black and tan coat glows with youthful energy and affection. This 75-pound bundle of joy is equal parts athletic and snuggly, with a heart that beats for belly rubs, long walks, and human connection!

Koda is a fetch fanatic—though he’s got a bit of a mischievous streak when it comes to returning the ball. If you’re looking for a dog who turns every game into a fun challenge, he’s your guy! After a spirited play session, he’s all about curling up beside you, melting into cuddles with the contentment of a pup who simply loves being near his favorite people.

This gentle shepherd has had some basic obedience training and already knows “sit” and “down.” He’s crate trained, house-trained, and gets along beautifully with other dogs and young children, making him a great companion for an active family with a soft spot for snuggles. He’s also a social butterfly who loves meeting new people and thrives in environments where he’s not left alone for too long. While he does experience a bit of separation anxiety, he settles well with a little reassurance and a comforting routine.

Koda’s grooming needs are fairly simple—he loves a good brushing (daily is best to manage his gorgeous coat), and he’s usually ready for a bath every month or two, depending on his adventures. He hasn’t spent much time around cats, so his compatibility there is still a mystery waiting to be discovered.

What really sets Koda apart is his affectionate nature. He’s a true cuddler through and through—the kind of dog who believes that being by your side is the best place in the world! Whether you’re out for a stroll or curled up on the couch, he’ll be right there with you, tail wagging and heart open.

If you’re ready for a life filled with loyalty, laughter, and love, reach out to today! Is your couch ready for a big cuddly shepherd who just might steal your heart?
