Critter Details

Kona a is a 7 year old neutered German Shepherd who is up to date on all his shots and vet checks, and has been taken the very best care of.   Kona was adopted as a rescue three and a half years ago and has lived with his family in a home with a fenced in yard.  He is very loyal, loving and gentle with his current owner. He has some initial social anxiety, but is calmed by his people’s reassurance, so his best placement would be with a confident owner with previous German Shepherd familiarity and experience. After being initially introduced, he loves people and just wants to feel safe and seen, leaning in and giving kisses once he knows he is loved. He has lived in a home as the only dog and would prefer to be the only one to get all of your love and affection. He is comfortable with adults and older children, but gets a little excitable around dogs in social settings and would need to be cat tested. Kona's previous owner has worked with him constantly to build his confidence and he loves to work for positive praise, yummy treats,  and belly rubs. He is loyal beyond belief and is extremely smart and able to learn anything that his owner is committed to teaching. The sky is the limit when it comes to training this boy. Kona and is crate trained and housebroken. He loves to explore his yard and enjoys company while he is outside and running around. He loves his people and enjoys snuggling on the couch with them and playing with his toys which he even loves to share with his human. Kona is a very special pup that needs a special family with lots of love and patience to help him feel safe and loved.  He gives 100% of all that love back! Kona is in search of his new home due to an unfortunate split of his current owners.  If you are looking for an awesome German Shepherd with all the quirky qualities that come along with it, Kona is your dream boy! If you show him love, patience and kindness he will reward you with loyalty and companionship that you’ve never felt before. Thank you for opening your hearts and homes to the sweetest GSD you will ever meet. Kona is not a NorthStar Pet Rescue dog, but we are helping network him so he can find a new home.  Approved applications will be forwarded to his current owner. Kona is currently located in Point Pleasant, NJ.
