My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Kona is a 7 year old, 70 lb Shepherd mix and a shelter employee and volunteer favorite!
This big girl has got personality! A lover of long walks, hikes, and treatos! She`ll give a paw or two for cookies. She loves everyone she meets and shes easy on the eyes.
So what`s the catch? Why do dogs like Kona get overlooked?
With great personality comes quirks sometimes. For Kona, it`s resource guarding. Simply put, in the past when she has decided something is hers... she has defended her ownership of it fiercely. Whether it be high value objects or food items.
Griffin Pond Animal Shelter 967 Griffin Pond Rd South Abington Twp Pa 18411 Kennel License #2236
That said, she has received some training to work with her resource guarding but would need to be continued in a new home. Her daily dog walkers speak volumes of her as being the easiest dog to walk in the entire kennel. As well as most affectionate! But remember , this is a controlled environment . She needs the same structure and routine in a home.
Because of her past resource guarding, she would do best in a low traffic home without young children or other pets. Someone who has experience with canine resource guarding or can provide training for her would be of most benefit to her in a new home.
Please give Kona the chance she deserves.
