Update Your Résumé
KODIAK is a 3-year-old shepherd
mix with long fl owing hair who
arrived when his owners were
not allowed to keep him at their
property. Kodiak is very friendly
and doesn’t take long to warm up
to new people! He loves riding in
the car, and walks well on a leash.
He loved playing with another dog
at the shelter, and when he met a
cat, showed no interest at all.
Is Kodiak the boy for you?
