Kodiak - Collie and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Batesville, Arkansas

Meet Kodiak, a handsome black and white pup with a name as big as his adventurous spirit!

Kodiak is a possible Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, with a striking black coat and crisp white markings. Like most young puppies, he's playful, curious, and affectionate, always ready to explore something new and cuddle up with his people afterward.

Kodiak has been great with dogs, cats, and kids, which makes him a wonderful fit for a busy household or a first-time pup parent looking for a friendly companion.

He's still a baby, so he's just beginning his training journey, and that's perfectly normal! With patience, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement, this sweet boy is ready to learn.

The first step is completing our application. Once received, we'll review it to see if you and this little one may be a good match!
