This is sweet Coda (Minnetonka). She’s a spayed, 2 year old, 40 pound Catahoula Leopard/Whippet cross, probably…! She came from Texas and is ready for her first Minnesota winter. Coda is a shy girl who is most timid around men and small children. Loud noises and sudden moves send her skittering off but once she knows what is happening, she comes back for a snuggle. She is crate trained, house trained, leash trained. She loves to sleep on the bed with you and stretch out so that she can touch you with her whole body! Walks are a big hit but she hasn’t figured out how to go potty on them. She would do best with a single person or a family with big kids. Routine is important to her and she will let you know if she is upset with something. A fenced in yard is a MUST as she loves to run around with her favorite toy - a tennis ball tied in an old sock. (She has other toys - she just loves this one!) She gets along well with our resident dog and a couple of other friendly dogs, but she can be defensive if the other dog is aggressive at all. Not good with small dogs or cats. Coda requires patience and calm and love and treats. You, in turn, will be rewarded with snuggles, smiles and the cutest wiggle you have ever seen.
