My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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. 🩵

Go meet their pets

Since we are a foster based rescue and don’t have a shelter all meet and greets must be scheduled and walk-ins are not an option. We will travel throughout the Treasure Valley and surrounding areas/states if that means the dog will find their forever home! When we host adoption/community events we will always post them on our Facebook Page Northern Star Dog Rescue.

More about this rescue

We are Northern Star Dog Rescue, a completely foster based non profit dog rescue! We specifically pull all of our dogs from the euthanasia list (most are there due to no fault of their own) and dogs that are homeless or in bad housing conditions. We take them in and place them in foster homes until we can find them their forever homes! We do what we do because our team has a STRONG love for animals especially those that are in dire situations.
