About this Dog
Meet Koa! This handsome apricot boy was surrendered to GPMR when his owner was diagnosed with cancer and no longer able to keep him with the treatments she has to go through. It's obvious that she loved Koa and a very sad situation for both Koa and his owner. Koa is overall very well behaved. His foster Dad said he's one of the best behaved dogs he's had. He responds to every command and his owner had enrolled him in a training program previously - and it shows. He is a gentle boy, typical Mastiff he spends a lot of time napping. He enjoys his morning walks and really just wants to be with his people. He's used to someone being around all day so he would not be the best fit for a busy working family who is gone all day. He doesn't like to be left outside alone and will scratch the door to let you know when he's ready to come in. Koa lived with other dogs previously but we have not observed him with other dogs yet as he's the only dog in his foster home.We think Koa could sense his owner was sick as he definitely was protective of her when we met him. He would bark and rush foward growling at people who approached her. Koa was also born during COVID and with these dogs, we have seen they have not been socialized outside of their home and so they don't know how to appropriately greet strangers. This is something we're already working on with Koa and he's doing much better. Koa will require an owner with guardian breed experience as he needs a firm owner who is not going to allow this inappropriate behavior. He responds extremely well when verbally corrected. Since we don't have any history of Koa with children, we would prefer an adult only home for him. Koa's vet visit went really well. He is heartworm negative! He does have a small skin lump like many Mastiffs get, but the vet wasn't concerned and said it can be monitored and if it starts growing or changing, he could have surgery to remove it. He's a healthy boy!Koa is being fostered in Amarillo, TX.

100% of Koa's Dogecoin balance will be sent to whoever adopts Koa.
Adopt Koa and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Koa's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Koa's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Koa, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Koa's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Koa was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Koa’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Koa’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Koa’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
