Koda - Cattle Dog and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Parma, Ohio

Please Note: Koda is in a foster home and not at the shelter. Please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org to make an appointment to meet her!

Say hello to Koda, a stunning blue heeler mix who is basically sunshine wrapped in fur. At just 7 months old and already weighing 55 pounds, this girl is well on her way to becoming a big, beautiful, full-grown adventure buddy.

Koda came to us as an owner surrender when her family had to relocate for work, but she hasn’t let that dim her sparkle one bit. This girl is FUN, FUN, FUN! Seriously—if there’s excitement happening, Koda is already there, tail wagging and ready to join in. Whether it’s a hike, a game of fetch, or zoomies in the yard, she’s always up for it.

She’s got a permanent smile on her face (yes, it’s as adorable as it sounds) and a personality that lights up every room she enters. Koda is crate trained, reported to be good with other dogs, cats, and children, and has a high energy level that makes her the perfect match for an active home.

Koda is available through our foster-to-adopt program, meaning you can bring her home now while she completes her vetting with the shelter. She’s already spayed and will receive updated vaccines and a microchip—everything she needs to start her new life safe, healthy, and loved.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this energetic, happy, adventure-loving girl, please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and submit an online adoption application for Koda. Her adoption fee is $160.

Koda is ready to run, play, and love her way straight into your life

The Cattle Dog is a diligent and robust herding breed known for its agility, intelligence, and hardworking nature. Originating in Australia, Cattle Dogs are highly energetic and require ample exercise and mental stimulation. With their remarkable problem solving skills and unwavering loyalty, they excel in various canine activities and make excellent companions for active owners. Their distinctive blue or red coat, sturdy build, and alert expression reflect their heritage as versatile working dogs.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
