Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $450 - Meet Kody, a big-hearted boy with an even bigger personality! This handsome guy is still learning that he isn't lap-dog sized-when he stands up to say hello with his paws on your shoulders, he's over 5 feet tall! (Yes, we've measured... and yes, he likes to show off his height.) Kody can be a little nervous when meeting new people and appreciates slow, patient introductions. Give him some time to get comfortable, and you'll discover a goofy, energetic dog who absolutely loves spending time with his people. Once he's out of his shell, he's full of affection, enthusiasm, and always ready for his next adventure. This big guy loves exploring the world on walks, taking in every new scent along the way. He's incredibly strong, though, so he'll need a family that's committed to continuing his leash training and helping him develop good manners. Kody also has a playful, mouthy play style, so positive, consistent training will help him learn appropriate ways to channel all that excitement. Kody has so much potential to blossom into an incredible companion with someone willing to invest the time and patience he deserves. Because of his size and exuberant play style, he'd do best in a home without small children. While he has gotten along with both dogs and cats, his rough-and-tumble play could accidentally overwhelm or injure smaller companions, so any introductions should be made thoughtfully. If you're looking for a loyal best friend and are ready to help a lovable giant build his confidence and polish his manners, Kody is ready to start his next chapter by your side.
