Adoption pending! Meet Koda, a handsome, young Australian Red Heeler Cattle dog, who is looking for the perfect home to adopt him. While his last home was nice, it wasn’t perfect. Koda wants perfect and would love to be on a working farm herding sheep, goats, cows, or have a meaningful job every day to make a difference for the humans in his life. He even would be happy being someone’s jogging partner, agility runner or obedience master in training. Koda doesn’t want to waste any more time on having no purpose in his life. Koda loves cats, dogs and absolutely LOVES going to doggy daycare to play with all the other dogs. Koda will need a home with a fenced yard, no children under 12 due to his instinctive nature to herd, a home that understands the breed and his need to be actively working on something all the time. Koda is fully vetted and around 1 to 2 years old.
