Hi everyone, my name is Koda

Koda is a stunning American Staffordshire x who’s already been through more than his fair share — but you’d never know it by his happy-go-lucky personality. He came into our care after being surrendered with a badly broken leg. Despite every effort to save it, the injury was too severe. But in true Staffy fashion, Koda has bounced back stronger than ever, full of tail wags, toys, and affection.

Now Koda is ready for a fresh start with a family who will give him the love and stability he truly deserves.

This big sweetheart is happiest when he’s by your side (or curled up at your feet). He’s the kind of dog who will carry his favorite toy over to you like a prized gift, just to share in the fun. Koda thrives on human companionship and would do best in a home where someone is around more often than not — he’s not a fan of too much alone time and really just wants to be part of your world.

Koda is also looking for a home where he can be the only pet. He’s not too keen on sharing his person with other animals — he prefers to have all the love (and belly rubs) to himself.

With his soulful eyes, playful spirit, and loyal heart, Koda is the kind of dog who will make someone’s house feel like home. Could that someone be you? Koda is looking for a foster home with a view to adopt. The staff here at Lort Smith are happy to explain this further.

Please complete an expression of interest form as we’d love to hear from you.

Adopting an animal

Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.

Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.

  • Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
  • Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
  • Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
  • Do I have time for obedience training?
  • If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
  • Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
  • Does the whole family want a pet?
  • Will the pet be allowed inside?
  • Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
  • Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.

Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:

  • Weekly animal food bills and necessities
  • Yearly council registration
  • Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
  • Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
  • Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
  • Ongoing grooming
  • Boarding fees for human holidays
  • Enrichment like training, toys etc
