Here's what the humans have to say about me:
🐾 Meet Kona – A Calm, Confident Explorer Looking for His Person 🐾 📅 Age: 3 years 🐶 Breed: Bully Mix ⚖️ Weight: ~78 lbs 💉 Status: Ready for Adoption
Kona is a strong, steady, and thoughtful boy who takes the world in at his own pace. He’s calm and composed, with an independent streak that makes him more of a quiet observer than a constant shadow. Kona is easy to leash, easy to handle, and straightforward to return to his run—no fuss, no stress.
Once outside, Kona shows signs of being house-trained and enjoys exploring his surroundings. He walks fairly well on leash, though he may pull moderately when something interesting catches his attention. He’s very environmentally focused and would thrive in a home where he can spend time outdoors, sniffing and decompressing.
Kona isn’t especially food motivated—he’ll sometimes take treats, sometimes politely decline—but he does know “sit” and “down.” He can be a bit stubborn, but it feels more like quiet confidence than defiance. He tolerated handling extremely well, including ears, mouth, paws, and head, making him an easy dog to care for and manage.
He showed playful moments during evaluation, offering play bows and interest in running, and passed cat cages with mild curiosity but no strong prey drive noted. Kona seems like the kind of dog who bonds deeply once trust is built.
🐶 Kona at a Glance:
Calm, aloof, and environmentally focused
Easy to leash, remove from, and return to the run
Walks fairly well with some pulling toward distractions
Appears house-trained
Knows “sit” and “down”
Strong and somewhat stubborn in a steady, confident way
Tolerates handling very well
Mild paw redness/hair thinning noted on toes
Mild interest in cats, no obvious prey drive
Enjoys play and running
🏡 Kona’s Ideal Home:
A home with a yard or regular outdoor access
Someone who appreciates an independent, calm dog
An adopter comfortable with a strong dog
Enrichment-focused home (sniff walks, yard time, scent games)
A patient person ready to build a bond at Kona’s pace
Kona is a grounded, handsome guy who doesn’t need constant attention—just consistency, space to explore, and someone who respects his calm confidence. If you’re looking for a solid companion with a quiet, loyal presence, Kona may be your perfect match. 🖤🐕We are open to the public Tuesday - Sunday (1PM - 5PM)! No Appointments required!
