My name is Koga - Home to Home Adoption!

6 year old, Koga was rescued by a family in Anacortes, WA about 4.5 years ago and he's been doing well until recently when life changed really quick. They have 2 new children in the home (3 month old), tons of visitors in and out all day and Koga is taking his protection job seriously. They are looking to do a home to home adoption and keep him until we find just the right family with land for him to run and be free. He needs more room to run and be a big beautiful Great Pyr/Anatolian mix that he is. His protection instincts are strong. He does well with other dogs that are introduced properly and smaller than him. He does amazing with the children of the family and takes his job incredibly seriously. He does take some allergy meds for some excessive itching but other than that he's healthy. He does well in a crate if zip tied closed and is house broken. He is neutered and UTD on shots. He will resource guard so best to feed this boy alone. 

From the family:Koga has shown signs of aggression which have become increasingly concerning. Despite our efforts to manage and address these behaviors through training and professional help, we have not seen the improvement needed to ensure the safety of our household, especially with small children. He initially was leash aggressive and has nipped people on our walks. He has always been aggressive towards men. He has nipped our male friend in our home most recently. We believe that Koga would thrive in an environment without young children, where his specific needs can be better met by someone experienced in handling Koga is a loyal and intelligent dog and we are confident that with the right care and environment he can lead a happy and fulfilling life.
