Meet Kona! This lovely lady, a 7-year-old Shepherd mix weighing in at a sturdy 70 lbs, is not just any dog—she’s a bright beacon of joy at the shelter! 🌟 Everyone, from employees to volunteers, absolutely adores her. Can you blame them? With her winning smile and sparkling personality, she’s truly easy on the eyes! 🐶 Kona is the perfect companion for those who love to get outdoors. She adores long walks, invigorating hikes, and let’s not forget—the occasional treat! 🍪 This big girl is more than happy to offer a paw or two in exchange for some tasty cookies. But don’t let her sweetness fool you; there’s a little twist to her tale! Like many fabulous souls, Kona does have a few quirks. She’s had a touch of a resource guarding habit in the past. What does that mean? Well, when she’s decided something belongs to her—be it her favorite toy or a delicious snack—she tends to guard it fiercely. ❤️ But don’t despair! Our dedicated team has provided her with training, and with a bit of continued guidance in a loving home, she can flourish beautifully. Kona has been known as one of the easiest dogs to walk in the kennel, and her affectionate nature is a testament to her lovable spirit. However, she does need a structured environment to thrive. Due to her resource guarding history, she would do best in a quieter home without young children or other pets. This is a gal who would flourish best with someone experienced in managing canine quirks, so if you can provide her with the training and understanding she needs, you’ll be rewarded with endless love and affection. 💕 Let’s give Kona the chance she deserves to shine in a forever home filled with safety and love!
