When Koda Met Blossom!

This is Koda, on the left. That is his new friend, Blossom, on the right. They met at the farm and they became fast friends immediately!
.

Koda came to Smiling Dog Farms from California. His family loves him a lot, but his behavior is unpredictable. Sometimes he will bite, and it is usually without warning. His family has a new baby on the way, and Koda just could not stay.

.

But they wanted a safe place for Koda -- a place where he could be... well... Koda!

.

After searching the internet for alternatives, and having little luck, his family found Smiling Dog Farms. They asked if Koda could come live the rest of his life in peace and safety at the farm, and Ricky and Jay said "yes"!

Blossom came from a family in Dallas. The family was moving and could only take two of their three dogs. Blossom was the one they elected to rehome because she was more temperamental than the others.

.

Blossom's family wanted her to go to a place that was safe, and where her behavior issues would not result in her being put down.

.

They also called Smiling Dog Farms to see if Blossom would be able to live there, and Ricky and Jay said "yes" to Blossom, as well.

.

Each dog needed a friend, and each seemed suited for the other.

.

When we introduced them, it was clear that Koda was smitten with Blossom. His whole demeanor changed. He smiled. He became calmer. And they have been best friends ever since. They play together. They nap in the sunshine together. They bark at the squirrels together.

.

Koda and Blossom are enjoying their new life together in their townhome and play yard.
