Meet Kona – A Loyal Companion Looking for Her Perfect Home!

Kona is a 9-year-old, 48-pound Pit mix who has been a beloved member of our family since we adopted her from BARCS when she was just two. While this is a difficult decision for us, Kona's recent behavior around our baby has led us to conclude that she would thrive in a different environment. We're hoping to find her the perfect home where she can be safe, happy, and loved.

About Kona:

Age: 9 years old
Breed: Pit mix
Weight: 48 lbs
Color: Orange and white

Kona's Ideal Home:

No Other Pets: Kona does best as the only pet in the home. She’s calm on a leash during walks but prefers not to interact with other dogs. She also hasn’t been around cats or other small animals.
People: Kona needs a slow, gentle introduction when meeting new people. She thrives in a quiet, low-key home without children. When we have visitors, we typically let her relax in a separate space.
Medical Needs: Kona has hypothyroidism, which is easily managed with affordable daily medication, and she takes it without any trouble.

Why You'll Love Kona: Despite her challenges, Kona is an incredibly loving companion. She’s a big fan of snuggles and has a calm, easygoing demeanor. She enjoys short, leisurely walks, is housebroken, and knows commands like sit, stay, lay down, and off. She doesn’t have a bite history and is happiest in a home where she can feel safe and loved.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate dog who will be your quiet companion, Kona might just be the perfect fit. Please help us find her the forever home she deserves!

•We assume stewardship over their well-being and strive to make this world a better place for them.
•We serve as a resource and/or liaison for shelters, individuals, and the community at large, advocating for any animal in harm's way.
