Meet Kona, FKA Crystal #2
Kona is ready to find her forever home.
Kona, AKA Kona Bear, is a 77 lbs. Chocolate Lab. She is currently living with her foster family that consists of her Foster Dad, Mom and step sister Hope, also a Brookline farm girl rescue. Hope has taught her some great dog habits but she is ready to learn more with the help of her forever home.
Kona is a 7 year-old spayed female. She does have a birthdate of July 5, 2013 listed, but you know how records are with the farm girls. She acts like she is a puppy though. This is not to say that she does not have some issues, but after spending her entire life only to have puppies, who wouldn’t?
She loves to cuddle, get pet on as much as possible, and play outside. Kona will follow you around the house and likes to stay near. By near I mean right at your side. She can be sleeping and snoring like a champ, but if you get up to go into another room, she is suddenly at your side. She had a tough life before coming to Brookline, but has really blossomed into a great dog. Kona likes to sleep on the sofa, or if the sofa is taken, her bed. She just likes to be able to see where you are at all times. Kona just wants to please and be loved on. She is not a face-licker, so if you get down to her level, you will never have a wet face, just a dog that wants to be loved.
Kona has learned some basic commands and takes treats gently. She comes when called, even if she is chasing a squirrel or trying to meet the neighbor’s dog. Kona will sit for her food. Kona is food motivated, so she will probably learn quickly with some treats as rewards for her hard work. Kona was not so food oriented when she first came, but has grown into an eating machine. She is not a table and/or counter surfer. She will put her nose up to the level of the counter and smell, but has yet to steal anything. She is tall enough to easily steal food though. She has no trouble with stairs, but has not yet climbed up to our second floor. Our resident dog and my Mom both stay downstairs at night, so Kona has no reason to go up and I guess she just feels the time is not right.
Kona walks on a leash fairly well. She pulls a bit at first but then settles in and enjoys her walk. She does not always walk in a straight line; she zigs and she zags while enjoying the new smells. She loves to be outside with you and should really come around. Do not let her doggy good looks fool you! She will bark if she hears noises outside. The barking never really lasts long unless the kid across the street comes home with his friends and they decide to talk for a while outside.
Kona is still a little hesitant about riding in the car. No trouble getting her in or out, but she is uncomfortable with the ride. She may get up if you stop, but she will lie right back down when you start to go.
Kona has NEVER been home alone, so we have no idea how that would go with her. She may be better with someone that is home more than away, at least as she settles in with a new family.
Kona is not timid around strangers. She loves people and people really seem to love her. She gets the run of the house but has never been home alone. She is “potty trained.” She had accidents in the house, but has not had one in quite a while
