🐕My Personality🐕

Hi, I’m Koala. One day, a mama dog and her 3 pups were rescued and transferred to a city shelter. One of the pup is actually me! The city shelter could not keep us any longer, so we were in danger to be euthanized. A warm-hearted rescuer heard this news, and they saved my family. My mom and my siblings have found their forever home, and I feel like this is my turn. I am fully ready to meet my forever home!

I do love quiet places and calm hearts. With time and training, I’ve learned how to trust, to walk on a leash, to take treats from gentle hands, and even to show my belly when I’m feeling safe. I’m still a naturally reserved girl, but I’m no longer frozen by fear. Now, I move slowly, quietly always observing, always feeling.

I may not run to greet you right away, but give me a few days and you’ll see a whole new side of me, sweet, loyal, even a little silly. I’m not the kind of dog who demands attention. I’m the kind who will sit beside you in stillness and stay by your side, always.

 

🐕Social Skills🐶

-With People: I’m cautious around new people but warm up with patience. Once we bond, I’ll trust you deeply. I’m more comfortable around adults and would do best in a calm, quiet home without young children.

 

- With Other Dogs: I get along well with dogs my size and tend to avoid conflict. If things get tense, I’ll simply walk away or roll over to show I mean no harm. I’m a peace-seeker.

 

- With Cats: I’ve stayed in a foster home with a cat before for about 10 days, and I did just fine. With a slow introduction, I could likely live with feline friends again.

 

🦮On My Walks🚶‍♀️

I love being outside and walking with someone I trust, but I’m still learning to feel fully confident on a leash. Sudden noises or unfamiliar things can make me freeze, so I’ll need someone who moves at my pace and helps me keep feeling safe. A calm walking buddy, human or canine, would be perfect for me.

 

🏠Life at Home💕

I’m a quiet presence at home rarely bark, don’t guard my food, and am clean in my habits. I prefer to go potty outside, and take my time getting comfortable in new spaces. Car rides are still scary for me, and I usually need to be carried in, but once inside, I settle down.

My energy level is low, and I’m happiest just relaxing with the people I trust. I’m still working on confidence, but I’ve already made incredible progress and I’ll keep growing with the right support.

 

🏠My Ideal Home💕

I’m looking for someone who sees me not just the quiet dog in the corner, but the sensitive, soulful companion waiting patiently to bloom. I need a home that understands shy dogs and gives us space to thrive.

I’m looking for:

- A calm, patient home (adult-only or with older kids)

- Someone who understands the slow magic of earning a shy dog’s trust

- A soft place to land after years of waiting

 

I’m not difficult, but I need just a little extra care to become my best self. If you’ve got room in your heart for a quiet, loving dog who will never take you for granted, I just might be your Koala. 🐾💛
