Kovah English Bulldog & German Shepherd Dog Mix Bellingham, WA

Hi, my name is Kovah! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Friendly, playful, people-oriented
-Can Live with Kids: Unknown history with kids - 12+ may be okay (up to counselor discretion)
-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history - would need proper introductions to ensure everyone gets along
-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, Kovah could possibly live with another dog of similar size and energy. Introductions would be scheduled to ensure everyone gets along. He could also go home with his buddy Kailis although it is not required.
-Can do Apartment Living: No
-Potty Trained: Yes
-Bite History: No
-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Not required but would be beneficial
-Energy Level: Medium
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No
-Additional Information:
Kovah and Kailis are brothers who were surrendered to the shelter due to housing issues. Kovah is a super sweet, people-oriented boy who would do best in a home where someone is present often. He was left alone for 8+ hours a day in his previous home and was not exercised as much as he needed - this is probably why he's a bit on the chunky side. Kovah would benefit greatly from having an active person willing to help him on his weight loss journey. He's never had formal training and may benefit from one or two positive reinforcement based lessons. Luckily he's super treat-motivated and eager to please!

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
