Buddy & his Momma

We're gearing up for our second
auction to help raise funds for 
Buddy's chemotherapy.
Buddy has begun the treatments
already and has a way to go.
His total medical bill will be
around $5,000 so we're holding
another auction to raise some more
money to help him out.

We'll be posting photos here to tempt

When the auction opens, you will go
to our page and look for the auction
album. Go through the photos, read
the item description then bid by
posting in the "comments" area.
Type in your bid amount and your
e-mail address and your bid is posted.

At the end of the auction, if you are the 
winning bidder, we'll send you a PayPal 
invoice. Once paid, your item will be shipped 
to you by the donor of the item. 

Please read the descriptions carefully
to make sure you understand the terms.

Joshua Fund Donates to Buddy's Chemo!


We just got word that the Joshua Fund will 
be donating $500 for Buddy's chemotherapy! 
Joshua was the very heart of Dan 
(the man who will be doing the donating) 
and he set up a fund for animals in need, 
much like Koda's Legacy.
Dan will be sending the donation directly to 
Buddy's Veterinarian and we've provided the 
Joshua Fund with all the information needed.
Thank you Dan for honoring your 
beloved Joshua by helping Buddy!

Becoming A Koda's Legacy Family Member


A Message From Koda


Welcome everyone!

I would like to clarify certain aspects of Koda’s Legacy. We are a very small organization that is striving to make Koda’s Legacy a household name! We would like to assist as many four legged creatures as possible, and this will not happen without “you” assisting us in this endeavor.


Within the realm of Koda’s Legacy when we have approved an application of an animal in need and have agreed to assist we require certain things. Those things will not only allow Koda’s Legacy to flourish but it will ensure that the medical care of said animal will be covered.

Those particular aspects are:
  •   When your application is approved you have agreed to share the chip-in applied to your animal, not just on your page but other pages as well to get as many donations as possible.

  •   You have agreed to share Koda’s Legacy again not just on your page but other pages as well, this will help to guarantee success of helping animals in need.
  •   You have agreed to donate at least one item to any auctions that we will have for your four legged fur being in order to bring in funds.
  •   You have agreed to keep in contact with Koda’s Legacy and let us know about all treatments, plans etc.

Koda’s Legacy CANNOT and WILL NOT do everything on their own, we will give you all of the tools necessary to make this a success, we will share, we will hold auctions, we will call veterinarians, we will negotiate pricing, and we will donate to auctions.

We have other animals that are awaiting medical care. Koda’s Legacy reserves the right to pull funding from any animal to which these aspects are not being adhered to, those funds will then be set forth to assist another animal in need.

If you should have any questions and or concerns please send us a message!

Thank you for all that you do in helping Koda’s Legacy!

Help Us Save Buddy!


Koda's Legacy
is helping Buddy!

This is Buddy!
Buddy has Subcutaneous Lymphoma.
 Buddy is 11 years old and his family
has asked for "our" help!
Not mine, not yours, but OURS!
Koda's Legacy has decided after careful
review of Buddy's families’ application,
an in depth conversation with one of
Buddy's Veterinarians and a conversation
with the nurse that assists with Buddy
at his other Veterinarian.

Buddy has a very good prognosis
and with IV therapy he should be
able to go into remission.
There is not a cure for this type of
cancer but once in remission Buddy
will be able to live a normal and healthy life.

We would like to ask everyone to share
Buddy’s story and his page to get them
more exposure. We have a Chip-In
(to the right of this page)
for the chemotherapy
(cost at least $5000.00)
We'll be holding another auction shortly
to assist with more funds so Buddy
doesn't have to miss any treatments.

As time goes on we will have numerous
updates about Buddy’s response
to treatment, our fund-raising efforts, etc.

If you have any questions please feel free to
contact us here or on our Facebook page.
We're transparent here at Koda’s Legacy for
without YOU we would not exist!

Please stop by Buddy's Facebook page
and see his story. Let's try to save this
wonderfully sweet dog!

Koda's Legacy Auction Was Fantastic!

One of the auction items that was up for bid.

Thank you to all who bid in our
first ever auction to benefit
Koda's Legacy! 

Koda himself was happy to get 
the wonderful items together
(with a bit of help from his "hoomans")
and the bids came in fast & furious.

It is an awful lot of work to request
donations for an auction, then to photograph
each item and write a description.

After that comes "spreading the word"
so people will visit and possibly bid.

We were so overwhelmed with the 
outpouring of support for our charitable
project that it took our breaths away!

Koda's Legacy raised over $1,800
with our first auction and we're already 
on our way to helping a dog in need!

Thank you to our donors who gave us
such wonderful items for the auction.
You all were terribly generous and we
can't thank all of you enough!

Thank you to our bidders for having
fun with us and for bidding so generously.

We hope to have another auction in the 
near future that will be helping some
fur baby in need of  our assistance!

Welcome To Koda's Legacy!

 
 
Welcome To Koda's Legacy!
 
 
We are a family of 3 humans that live in seperate houses,
6 dogs ( Rottweiler Koda, Pit Bull/ Lab mix Skoobers,
Shih Tzu Myka, Shih Tzu Mercedes, Shih Tzu Bentley, Yorkie Toby),
3 cats (Issac Newton, Leonette and Lucy Lou),
and 2 guinea pigs (Diesel and Jelly Bean.)
We love all of our furbabies immensely and
will do everything within our power to
make sure that they have an
awesome quality of life.
Koda and Skoobers do not wear collars or
harnesses unless they are leaving the yard
with us, for we do not own them.
We are very giving people and we view
our animals as family not possessions.
We believe that our animals are free
spirited and are equal to us.
Our furbabies live in the house with us,
sleep with us and they sleep on our couches.

We know first hand how it is to have an
animal that has chronic medical issues
and to be financially strapped. ​
You feel like your hands are tied and you
have no place to turn, thoughts start to run
rampant through your mind on how to get
medical care for your loved one.
We have always been fortunate to be able to
afford all of Koda's medical needs even
being financially strapped at times.
This is not the case for most people.

We are very giving people who came up with
the idea to honor our boy Koda with a legacy
that is different than most organizations
assisting people financially for their animals
Koda's Legacy is being designed around Koda,
and Koda's needs. We realize that situations
will differ with different medical conditions
that arise, but the outcome is still the same:
"We want our babies healthy
and to have a quality of life."

We are a small organization that is
NOT non-profit 501(c)3 yet, but we
are working diligently to become one.

Koda's Legacy was founded in 2012
because of an unstable economy to
which families are making a choice of
either euthanization or reliquishing their
pet up to a shelter because of their
financial situations they can no longer
afford health care for their beloved pet.

The largest percentage of donations go to veterinary
care, although there is a small operating cost,
(example: bank fees, website) We are strictly
volunteers and do not get paid for our time.

We are not veterinarians nor are we vet technicians,
we will no give medical advice of any form.
 
Please join us in the weeks, months and
years ahead as we try to help as many
animals as we can live a long and
healthy life with their families!
