Kota's Story

Meet Kota, a six-year-old Golden Retriever who found a home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was adopted through the Humane Society of Kent County by Jen and Andrew. Kota was a Humane Society education dog at the Humane Society of Kent County. He met almost 4,000 kids a year through presentations and Humane Society Summer Camps. He taught kids about dog safety, responsible pet ownership, and how to be kind and compassionate to all living things. Kota’s favorite things to do included, visiting people, going to doggie day care, swimming in Lake Michigan, going for walks, and playing with other dogs. Sadly, shortly after his photo shoot, Kota passed away from cancer at the young age of 6.
