Rehome | From One Loving Family to Another

Hi I’m Kona. I’m looking for a new family to share my love with. I enjoy laying around the house when I’m inside. When I’m in the back yard, I enjoy sniffing the air for any scent and I like walking around smelling things and checking things out. I love to chase the water coming out of the water hose. My favorite toy is my squeaky ball.

I can alert you when someone comes to the door but if you train me, I can learn to go to my crate when I hear someone knock. I want to go see who is coming to the house. I have to smell them. At first, I am a little wary of strangers until I feel comfortable.

I like to follow you around the house to make sure I know where you are. Sometimes I don’t follow if I know where you’re going.
I don’t chew on furniture because I stay in my crate when you leave. But don’t leave me there too long. I might need to use the bathroom. And I only go outside when I need to go.

I’m looking for someone who has a little bit more time to spend with me and teach me a few more tricks and help me learn a few more things. I already know how to come, sit, stay, wait, lay down and roll over. If this is you, come meet me and see if we’re a good match!
