BIO:

Kona was surrendered by her previous owners to animal control when they felt they did not have the time to devote to her that she deserved. She is adjusting well to her foster home and is an overall sweet, happy, funny girl.

Kona gets really excited when her foster parents come home from work and will go scampering around from room to room, rolling on the floor and snorting. She has not shown any interest in Nylabones or balls, but likes a stuffed hedgehog toy her foster mom got her. She LOVES be petted and get belly rubs. She will let you know if you've stopped petting her before she's ready to be finished. She also does her best to thoroughly kiss everyone she meets.

Kona naps frequently throughout the day but does have energetic bursts of playfulness when she wants to wrestle around on the floor and romp. Even the vet has remarked on the fact that she does not seem like she is 10 years old with her playful nature.

She has done well around another small dog in her foster home and has seen several larger dogs outside and at the vet, but hasn't had much interaction with them. Her reaction is playful and excited, wanting to engage other dogs. She has shown some competitiveness for attention and at meal times, such as pawing at/jumping up on people and barreling towards the object of her attention. She hasn't been around cats since coming in to rescue. She has done well with a 9 year old human foster sibling.

Kona does have some dry eye issues which appear to have gone mainly untreated, causing her right eye to appear somewhat cloudy. She has been prescribed three different eye medications to help with tear production and to clear up any possible infections. She will likely require one or two of these for the rest of her life. The vet does think she has vision in both eyes but it may be somewhat limited, particularly on the right.

She also has some mobility issues in her back legs, the muscles don't seem to be as strong as they should or support her the way they are supposed to. This had been previously diagnosed as arthritis at her last vet, but the vet who evaluated her after coming in to IBR thinks it's something more. Possibilities are luxating patella or nerve issues. An orthopedic consultation is likely in her future before she will be ready for adoption.

Despite this, Kona is just such a happy-go-lucky girl who charms everyone she meets with her smile and kisses. She has so much love to give and joy to share!

Please consider sponsoring Kona's vet care while she is in rescue. If you'd like to make Kona a mamber of your family when she is ready, please mention her by name when you fill out an adoption application.
