Hi friends, my name is Minnetonka but I actually go by Koda instead. I'm a Catahoula Leopard mix, about 2 years old and extremely beautiful! I came from a shelter in Laredo, Texas and I can't wait to find my forever home! I'm a sweet Southern Belle that can be shy when first meeting new friends but am gaining more confidence every day. I have opened up to my foster mom with ease and get so excited when I see her that my whole body wags! I follow my foster mom all over the house so she doesn't get lonely. I'm looking for a patient family that is willing to allow me time to feel comfortable around new friends, I promise it'll be worth it! I love to take daily walks (they are my favorite!) and am a perfect young lady on a leash! I am even potty trained when let outside on a schedule. I easily keep myself entertained with toys and like to chew on bones too. Like most shy pups I really enjoy the companionship of other canine friends that are my size or larger, as I am not good with small dogs. In one of my foster homes there were a couple of cats and I did like to chase them so a home without kitties would be best. Due to my shy personality a quiet home without young kids who might startle me would be best. I go in my crate easily and even sleep in it at night or during the day when my foster family is out of the house, but I prefer to be out lounging around the house with all my foster friends. I've traveled a long way to be here and can't wait to leave my past behind! I know my perfect people are out there looking for me somewhere, is that you?
