My story

 Meet the bestest boy --  Koa ‍ Koa is the definition of a survivor. When he was first found as a stray, Koa was extremely emaciated and struggling just to get by. Thanks to our amazing partners at @caitiesfosterfam and an incredible foster, he was pulled from the shelter and brought straight to a vet hospital to begin some much-needed medical care & his healing journey Fast forward to today—Koa is thriving in foster care and his glow-up is nothing short of incredible He loves affection from his foster parents, has been the perfect houseguest, and gets along beautifully with the other dogs in the home- he has even done well with cats!  Koa is a medium to higher-energy pup who would love an active family to keep up with his goofy, sweet personality.  He’s crate-trained, playful, friendly with all, and ready to bring endless love and laughter to his forever family. "This sweet boy has so much love to give" 1-2 yo/@ 45 lbs shepherd/terrier mix  crate trained friendly with all -dog,cat,people playful goofy PAL - so happy to be alive !!! smart, loyal and loving  altered, vaccinated & microchipped  If you think Koa is the missing piece to your family, don’t wait—fill out an application today! He is ready for adoption in New England in Oct !!!  please remember we are all volunteers &  incomplete applications will not be processed Apply to FOSTER or ADOPT today & get approved to bring a dog home. It is a simple & easy process - help us save lives ! If you are interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application and we will reach out to you within 48 hours to start the approval process.   https://galsbestpal.com/adoption/ It’s ok if you don’t know exactly what you are looking for, we are experts in matchmaking and can talk with you and figure out what PAL would be a good fit for your home!   If you would like to inquire about saving a life & becoming a FOSTER HERO, please fill out an application and a FOSTER HEROES TEAM volunteer will reach out to you to go over our lifesaving foster based rescue program! https://galsbestpal.com/foster/ To learn more about our mission, and to join our mailing list go to https://galsbestpal.com/ Follow us on FB and Instagram for extra photos, updates & videos of our available dogs. We are constantly posting new content every day!  Thank you for considering a rescue PAL, there are so many in need right now!  XO, THE GBP TEAM PS - Please keep in mind, our bio's are based on feedback we have received from the current foster home the dog is in. We can never guarantee how a transition will affect the dog. GBP is here to help make the transition as easy as possible but time + patience are also important when adopting a new PAL. Breed Mixes & Ages are a best guess and can not be guaranteed** ##2519019##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Koa, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
