Kona was surrendered to a vet for euthanasia after a serious medical issue when his owners weren’t able to manage the costs. He underwent surgery to remove a foreign object from his stomach and intestines, dealt with some fluid buildup, but has pulled through and is now thriving with his foster in the Austin area. Kona is about 1.5 years old. He starts out shy but quickly becomes affectionate and loyal. He pays special attention to other dogs, gaining confidence when they’re around, and is also accustomed to living with cats. For new experiences or when meeting people alone, he can be a little timid, but opens up nicely with some reassurance. Kona is 100% crate trained and no longer chews bedding or toys. He’s solid on and off leash, mellow most of the time, and just wants to be wherever you are. Sometimes when his playful side kicks in, he gets the zoomies—he’s a bit of a goofball and could accidentally knock over small children, just by sheer enthusiasm. Kona knows his basic commands like sit, down, crate, heel, and come. He’s looking for a home with another playful dog and people willing to keep boosting his confidence. Kona is being fostered in San Antonio, TX and is adoptable to out-of-state applicants in select cities in the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and Northeast. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
