Meet Koi, a tender-hearted pup with a soft spirit and an eagerness to love. Still just a puppy, Koi is learning the ropes of the world—and with the right family by his side, he’s going to blossom into the most loyal companion.


🐶 Why Koi Will Melt Your Heart

  • Breed: Mixed Breed Puppy
  • Training: Knows “sit,” “down,” “stay,” “fetch,” and is working on “touch” and “focus”
  • Potty Training: Making great progress—uses a designated potty spot but wears a belly band indoors just in case
  • Crate Trained: Sleeps quietly in his crate at night and when home alone
  • Favorite Things: Snuggling with his trusted humans, playtime bursts, and walks once he’s out the door
  • Energy: Playful puppy energy, followed by cuddle sessions
  • Alerts: Will bark when someone approaches the home, but calms easily when redirected

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Koi’s Ideal Home

  • A calm, patient household that understands puppy anxiety
  • A flexible schedule to support his potty training and emotional needs
  • Respectful children or dog-savvy families
  • Another friendly dog to bond and play with
  • Willingness to continue training with love and consistency

Koi is a sensitive soul who thrives on reassurance and companionship. While he may be shy at first, once he feels safe, he opens up with affection and joy. He may cry if you’re home and in another room—he just wants to be close.
