Koa is still looking for her FurEver!

Koa Special needs Age:1.5yo Sex:female Weight: 45 # Breed: black lab PERSONALITY Koa had a rough start to her young life. The victim of cruelty, she was shot once in the spine with a .22 caliber bullet then dumped on a back road at 6 months old. Good samaritans found her dragging herself down...

Koa has been lots of help with all the other fosters, she is right at my heels no matter if we are cleaning, feeding, or playing(she does run the other way for bath time however lol, she’s not a fan no matter who is getting it) Koa is now looking for a home of her very own. She is mobile, she does well with her wheelchair, or without(she actually prefers to explore most places without the restriction of wheels, though it’s more practical for other times) she occasionally still needs assistance emptying her bladder but for the most part has learned to sit up and bend and she’s able to do it solo. She has no trouble going 💩 alone. She is fine being diapered. She lets you know when she needs to go outside, though her bladder can leak if excited. She is ok with dogs, kids and most cats. She is not a fan of bath time at all. Koa has a great love for life, for people & there’s never enough petting and attention for this gal- she wants to be with you, preferably as the main point of your focus- all the time. Special needs pets are not broken, they are not burdens, they are just a bit different & need a little extra devotion & care. Koa is a good girl, with a great passion for living, if you or someone you know is interested in opening your heart & home to her, she deserves a FurEver of her own!

You’d think I’d been gone a month not a half hour, lol, my son let her out with the others and she met me at the gate. She’s sure mobile now snd there’s no stopping her!

Koa was gifted a new bed (among other things to help her mobility) from some angels out there watching over her. She’s learning to get up down from it, it’s pretty comfy if I do say so myself lol. Thank you to all those who donate, share, and follow her story!
