Update 1/18: We have begun the dental treatment for this dog and she is healing from her first procedure well. She has another one scheduled in the future, but while she waits we are looking for an adoptive or foster home to help her during her recovery and someone willing to drive her to her dentist appointment in Irvine when the time comes! She currently is just needing daily medication, soft food only, and no chew toys while she heals up.

If you are interested in fostering/adopting Koa, please reach out at the emails above!
