Kapono

Kapono is a 10-year-old German Shepherd with the heart of a puppy and the soul of a true gentleman. Sweet, affectionate, and surprisingly playful for his age, he’s never met a tennis ball he didn’t love—one is fun, but five is even better.<br/><br/>In the home, Kapono is an absolute dream. In five weeks of foster care, he’s had zero potty accidents and settles easily into a calm, predictable routine. He thrives with consistency, clear boundaries, and a confident human who provides gentle structure.<br/><br/>A couple of endearing quirks: Kapono is an enthusiastic (okay… slightly sloppy) water drinker, and he occasionally commits a harmless “crime,” like proudly parading around with a stolen slipper as his prize. It’s hard not to smile.<br/><br/>On walks, Kapono can get excited when he sees other dogs. He’s not aggressive or vocal—he just needs a little help polishing his canine manners. The good news? He’s already showing wonderful progress with patient guidance and responds beautifully to corrections. While he may not be looking for a wrestling buddy, Kapono can peacefully co-exist with other dogs and is currently being socialized successfully. At home, he’s content to relax, chew on a toy, and mind his own business.<br/><br/>Kapono is crate trained, gentle, calm, and truly one of the kindest, easiest houseguests you could hope for. He’s now urgently looking for a committed long-term foster—or even better, a forever home.<br/><br/>All Kapono wants is a soft place to land and someone to love him for the years ahead. After a rough start, this beautiful old soul deserves nothing less than a safe, steady home and a family to call his own.
