Meet Koba!Koba is a 4-month-old Border Collie mix with a gentle heart and an old soul. At around 25 pounds, he's still growing into what will likely be a big, lovable companion. While he enjoys toys and puppy playtime, his favorite place is simply by his person's side. Whether you're working, relaxing, or out in the yard, Koba is happiest just being with you.This sweet boy warms up to new people within minutes and quickly wins everyone over with his love of belly rubs, snuggles, and kisses. He's incredibly smart-he learned his name almost overnight, already knows "sit," takes treats gently, and is making great progress with both potty training and basic commands. He loves treats and is eager to learn, making training a fun experience.Koba is mostly house trained, has excellent manners for a puppy, and is working on crate training and leash skills. He's calm around other dogs but definitely prefers spending time with his humans. When he's feeling unsure, he'll quietly stick close to the people he trusts.As a growing Border Collie mix, Koba will thrive with a family that understands intelligent, active breeds. A home with a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and continue learning would be ideal. Most of all, he's looking for someone who wants a loyal best friend that's always nearby.If you're searching for a gentle, affectionate puppy who's as smart as he is sweet, Koba is ready to fill your home with love.Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-served basis.
