Kona's Story

Kona needs a foster or a foster-to-adopt home, if not a forever home immediately, and she needs one quickly! Now 9 years old, Kona was adopted from us years ago, and we expected - as we always do - that it would be a forever home. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. The family's situation changed. They were no longer able to keep her or care for her, and she came back to us on an emergency basis. We put her in boarding which was supposed to be short-term, until we were able to find a home for her. That was about TWO YEARS AGO! NO dog should be in a boarding kennel for anywhere near that long! Kona is not a dog who does well in boarding. She's an energetic dog and being kenneled is not something she's happy with - at all! We need to get her into a home quickly. She needs to be an only pet. She could live happily with respectful older (teenaged) children. If you have a fenced yard, she'd love running around in it. If you're home part of the day, she'd be in heaven - but could also do well if you work regular hours. We'd like to find an active family for Kona, who can take her on long walks and hikes. We are also looking for a family with experience with bully breeds (she is a pit bull type dog). Please consider fostering or adopting Kona. She is a GREAT dog and deserves a truly forever family. To begin the process, please fill out our application - https://www.furryfriendsct.org/foster-application or https://www.furryfriendsct.org/adoption-application

Furry Friends Foster and Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy

Our goal is to help you find a wonderful new family member! We work closely with you to ensure that the dog you adopt will be a wonderful match for your family's make-up and lifestyle. Our adoption and foster placement processes includes an application, personal and vet reference checks, a home visit, and a meet and greet with the dog and all family members and other pets. Placement is considered on the basis of the best interests of the dog and the best fit with the family - we do not adopt on a "first come, first served" basis. We do not transport our dogs outside of the state of CT. If you live outside of CT and are able to travel to us after an application is approved, with your family and other pets, for a meet and greet and to complete the adoption in CT if that goes well, you're welcome to apply to adopt one of our dogs, as long as you live in one of the New England states. We do not adopt our dogs long-distance, or outside of the New England area. PLEASE NOTE: All of our dogs live in foster homes within the state of CT. We do not have a facility. For that reason we ask that you go through the application/approval process prior to a meet and greet, which is always part of our placement protocol. We do this because we try to keep our foster families' day to day lives s uninterrupted as possible. You can fill out an adoption application at our website.
