Meet Kona! Kona is an adorable 6 months old Jindo/Retriever mix. He is a soft, beautifully maned cuddly love bug. All he wants is to be friendly with everyone. At least once each walk, he will roll on his back for a stranger. They will rub his belly, gush, and remember him as the highlight of their day. Kona’s big smile is infectious. He does overheat though, so his smiles are also quite noisy with heavy breathing. But he’s the cutest sleeping baby giant. When he snores, it has a rhythm that warms up the love in you. 

Kona would do best in a home with another dog. His family will be fairly active, happy to take him on at least 2 walks each day and at least one visit to the dog park each week. This sweet and loving pup loves to be hugged and wants you to soak up his happy energy. Kona is patiently waiting!
