Our family is navigating the difficult position to re-home Kona so that she can be in a place where she can freely operate and protect her territory and where we don't have to worry about guests or family when they visit.
We are looking for a home that will give Kona the understanding and compassion that she needs as well as the space to be independent and encouraged to be protective in the right context.
