Koda - Meet Me in Ardsley, NY on April 27th

Koda is a charming and loving middle aged attention hound. He loves anybody who will give him attention. He is good with both cats and dogs. He walks well on a leash. Koda has a moderate energy level but is a typical beagle and loves to go on an adventure. He will head off wherever his nose tells him to go so a person who understands Beagle/hound behavior, better yet one with kids that could join him on his adventures, would be perfect for him. Since he was found wandering in the middle of a road, a leash is a must when out with him. After getting back from his nosey adventures, Koda will be looking for a place to snuggle up next to you. Koda is very demanding when it comes to attention and will do everything in his power to get you to shower him with the affection he so rightfully deserves. If the doorbell rings, you can expect him to be right there to greet your guests. Your guests should be alerted to this fact and that he will likely get his front paws on you to beg for some "welcome to my home" affection. When you hang out with Koda you will see him, despite his age, display a bit of puppy behavior. He will shake and chew on his toys like he’s in his second childhood. This sweetheart is looking for his humans to enrich his life as much as he will enrich theirs. Koda needs an active home. He is not a couch potato. He needs to get out daily and he needs daily walks of at least 1 to 2 miles. Beagles can get fat if they are allowed to lay around all day. Give Koda lots of brain games and a good walk a day and he will stay slim and fit. It's good for you and good for him. We think he would like older children (over 10 years old). He's never shown any aggression to any one but we would be worried that since he's a gentleman of a certain age, young kids pulling and tugging on him or running through the house would be more than his mature mind would enjoy. He would love a home where at least one of his humans was home with him all day.
