Koda is a 5 year old black and red German Shepherd. He came into rescue when there was a change in his living arrangements, and a new baby in the house. Koda was very loved, cared for, and trained by his previous owners. He knows over a dozen commands, has been well socialized in busy, crowded setting. He is also housebroken, crate trained, and rides well in the car. Koda is off leash reliable and neutral with other dogs.
Koda loves to play fetch, and use his nose to find hidden objects. His foster mom has referred to him as ” a searching machine”. He has moderate to higher energy, and is definitely happiest when he is doing a task such as searching or obedience.
Koda is affectionate, treat and praise motivated, and seeks to please his handler. He is looking for a home with previous working dog experience and ideally someone who is already in the sport dog/searching field. He has no bite training, and would not be a candidate for such work, but would be an excellent hobby nosework/ detection dog.
