Wave hello to Koda! Koda is a 6-year-old pit bull from Lemont, Illinois.
First day home
When another family moving out of town was going to take Koda to a shelter, he was quickly rescued by his new forever home.
Favorite treat
He likes every single thing he sees his owners eating. His favorite treat, though, is string cheese!

Weirdest thing he ever ate
Much to his sister's dismay, Koda ate all of her plastic toys. Unfortunately for him, he ended up pooping them out for days.
Likes
He loves going for long car rides, giving kisses to his family and snuggling (as seen in the adorable photo below). He's a big napper and even goes under the blanket with his momma!

Dislikes
Koda has a ton of energy and loves to play outside, so the worst days for him are rainy days stuck indoors.
Funniest habit
He has a mean side eye. If he isn't getting his way or he thinks he's getting in trouble, Koda pulls out the side eye or hangs his head.
Favorite toy
Koda loves his "Koda Kong"! He can play tug with it all day.
'If you leave the room, Koda's coming with you'
Koda is such a loving, sweet pooch. He is a great brother to his sister, Britney (a beagle). He has been the best addition to this family and they certainly can't imagine life without him.
