Kodiak was picked up as a stray in Spokane. He is a great dog. He has slowly come out of his shell and loves to be hugged and is getting better at giving kisses. We do not know how long he had been on his own but his coat needs some work and he does not know what treats are, although he is learning fast! The collar he had at the shelter was too small so his hair on his neck is all matted. A larger collar and some careful brushing is working just fine. He likes to be in the house with everyone and quickly finds a spot to lay down. He is has shown minor interest in the two cats but is more interested in keeping an eye on his people. He has shown more prey drive toward the outdoor cats but inside he is leaving them alone, so far. Kodiak is learning how to play and now chases a Kong but in typical mal fashion he chases but does not fetch. He gets along with the other dogs in his foster home, but can be snarly over his toys or food.

UPDATE: Summer is on the way and Kodiak is ready to be featured on the cover of a romance novel. His coat is just gorgeous and it flows like Fabios golden mane. He is a great indoor/outdoor dog and has learned that sleeping on the bed can be fun and cozy. He has even adjusted to the cat sleeping next to him. Kodiak is still choosy about his doggy friends but with proper supervision he can reside in the same yard with others. He can keep himself entertained for hours with his favorite toys and knows that when he walks away from them they are fair game for the others. He does well in the car and likes to go hiking and believe it or not his coat does not gather that much debris. He is a very vocal dog and will let you know when anyone approaches.

Kodiak has made great leaps and bounds in his manners since first coming into rescue. He is a very friendly dog and all ready to go to his new forever home and be part of a new family.

Kodiak is being cared for in the Spokane area.
