Meet KODA! 

KODA was saved from a high-kill shelter in Texas and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Friday, February 14th, 2025. We post our available dogs across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding them the perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs—families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine, to meet and, hopefully, take their new companion home.

Health & Background
KODA arrived in great health and is fully vetted:

• ✅ Neutered

• ✅ Rabies and core vaccines up to date

• ✅ Heartworm and tick disease tested – all negative

• ✅ On flea/tick prevention

• ✅ Received 12-month ProHeart heartworm prevention injection in February 2025

• ✅ Microchipped

• ⚖️ Weighed 54.4 lbs on February 12th

• Estimated DOB: December 2022

KODA’s Personality
KODA is affectionate, responsive, and smart, but he is overstimulated in the kennel environment. His adoption fee has been reduced in hopes of helping him find his forever family soon.

• Knows “sit” and is likely familiar with other commands

• Craves affection and attention

• Uses the dog door with no problem

• Traveled well during transport

• Takes treats gently

• Can get overstimulated in the kennel due to lack of mental and physical activity

Play Group Observation (Texas Shelter)

• Quick to engage in play with other dogs

• Very energetic and pushy—needs to be reminded not to get too excited

• ⚠️ Can be too much for lower-energy dogs—best matched with dogs that enjoy roughhousing

What KODA Needs
KODA is looking for a committed family that:

• Has an active lifestyle and understands the needs of high-energy dogs

• Provides mental stimulation, structure, and boundaries

• Understands the nutritional importance of high-quality food, treats, and enrichment

• Will provide regular veterinary wellness checks

• ❤️ Gives time to decompress, adjust, and learn the rules of his new home
