Koa

Meet Koa, our therapy dog. Koa was named after the Hawaiian word for fearless and warrior, and every day in his work he shows others how to be a warrior in their life. Koa has been working as a therapy dog since he was 4 months old and loves every second.

Koa is an Australian Labradoodle. Because of his breed he has hair instead of fur, making him non-allergenic to those who struggle with pet allergies. Koa’s favorite activities include hiking, tug-of-war and most of all getting cuddles!

Koa is present in every therapy session with only Taylor unless requested otherwise.
