Kona🐾

Meet Kona (aka “Kona Shark”) 🐾
Age: 4 years | Breed: Husky | Weight: 60 lbs

Kona is a sweet, affectionate, and hilariously charming husky who’s ready to find his forever adventure buddy! He’s a total character — equal parts goofball and cuddle bug. When he sees you grab the leash, get ready for pure excitement — “walkies” are his absolute favorite, and he’ll light up with joy knowing an adventure is ahead.

He’s a social boy who loves meeting new people and playing with other dogs, so outings like Idaho Pups & Ales or any local dog-friendly event are right up his alley! Kona would thrive with an active person or family who enjoys outdoor fun.

Kona also has a softer side — he gives the best husky hugs and kisses on command and will even dance with you on his hind legs when he’s feeling extra affectionate. At home, he’s a bit of an oddball in the most endearing way — he’ll sit and watch TV like a person, and if you let him, he’ll perch at the edge of your bed for a late-night movie session.

True to husky form, Kona values his independence (and his beauty sleep 😴). He doesn’t love being pulled or grabbed, so he’ll do best in a home with older kids or adults who understand dog body language.

Kona’s Skills & Habits:
✅ Great recall (unless a squirrel is involved!)
✅ Potty trained
✅ Crate trained (just give him a minute — he’ll get there!)
✅ Walks well once the initial excitement passes
✅ Knows sit, shake, and “up” for hugs

Kona’s Ideal Home:

A fenced yard (6 ft, please — he’s got hops!)

A patient, loving family who understands huskies

Someone who won’t leave their snacks unattended — this foodie doesn’t discriminate!

Kona is a loyal, fun-loving companion who will make you laugh every single day. If you’re looking for an adventure partner with a big heart and even bigger personality, Kona Shark is your guy. 🩵

They are individuals, too!

It's not all about us I'm afraid.

We can try our absolute hardest when rescuing a dog to "pick" one that seemingly fits what we WANT. Often, the message if you don't get the "dog you want" is that you get the "dog you need".

But that's rubbish often, too. Sorry, but it is.

It's not all about us.

The dog you get is the dog THEY ARE. And when we remember rescuing dogs is about fulfilling THEIR needs and wishes as an individual that they are, and not about getting something that is meant to fully compliment our home or life, we are setting us up for far less disappointment and far less stress on the dogs part.

It's a massive gamble. But so is buying a puppy. We've just got to remember it is not all about us. They're a unique being who deserves to have their true self heard and respected 🐾💜

Foster Found‼️
Foster needed asap!

~ Crate
Ned really needs a foster home where he isn’t crated a lot or is just crated while the person is gone or at work, but he doesn’t need to be crated at all. When he is crated a lot he barks like crazy. He is stressed out currently and needs a new foster home.

~ Animals
He loves to play with other dogs and it would be great to have a play buddy. Ned is great with cats.

~ People
Ned is great with people but really loves kids of all ages.

~ Would Benefit
Ned would also benefit from being on a farm, camping, anything where he can use his nose, even if he is searching for treats you have hidden around the yard or house. He doesn’t have to have all of this but something like this.

~ Potty, leash, commands
Ned is potty trained, walks well on leash, and knows basic and extended commands in German language.

If you are interested in fostering Ned please fill out the foster form on link below
