\nHi, I\u2019m Koah! I\u2019m a sweet, excitable puppy who traveled 2,300 miles from Hawai\u2018i to Berkeley Humane through the Aloha Dog Project, which helps island shelter dogs find new homes in the Bay Area. I love cuddling, napping, playing and exploring new places. Since I\u2019m still a puppy, I\u2019ll need training, patience and plenty of guidance as I grow. If you\u2019re ready for a large-breed puppy and a new best friend, come meet me! Visit the website of the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society at berkeleyhumane.org<\/a> to learn more and schedule a meeting with me.<\/p>\n
