Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Kona!
She is one of many breeding dogs rescued from an illegal puppy mill in South Korea. She is estimated to be 7 years old, but her foster says she is much younger. She has given birth many times and has lived in a 3-feet cage for many years 😢
>Dog Name: Kona
>Estimated age: 7 years old
>Current weight: 6.5 lbs, spayed female
>Relationship:
Dog: likes other dogs and gets along well, no aggression when she meets other dogs on walks.
Cat: Hasn't met a cat yet
Adults/children: He loves people, is very affectionate and wants to be petted, is very happy when people come over, and has never barked.
She also likes children, but if you bother her too much, she may not like you (no aggression).
>Personality: Very gentle and sweet, very affectionate and energetic, she's a perfect girl who has never been in an accident even if you go out and come back.
>Bathing: Good
>Bathing: Good
>Shedding: Very low shedding
>Energy level: 3 on a scale of 1-10
>Appetite and eating habits: Eats kibble well, snacks are mostly sweet potatoes and soft treats since he doesn't have many teeth.
>Allergies: None
>Walking manners: She walks in step with you and looks you in the eye as she walks.
>Dislikes: Doesn't like to have her nails trimmed (no problem if you hold her and get it done quickly), can be afraid of loud noises.
>Likes: People, climbing into your lap, being held, treats, and being petted.
>Car rides (motion sickness): No
>Housetrained: Pee pads 90% of the time (occasionally slips up on the living room mat or around the pad)
>Barking/Howling: None (he'll go "woah!" when he hears a noise outside the door, but doesn't bark when people come over)
>Separation anxiety: None
>Health issues: He has a lot of dental damage from chewing on his cage at the breeding center. She only has a few teeth left. He is vaccinated and neutered.
>Commands/Tricks: paw, sit, wait, touch.
