How I Arrived At NHS: I was surrendered because my higher energy level didn't match the lifestyle of my family.
I am just the sweetest little girl! I always have time for pets and love. I am very much a people person. If you don't give me a pet, I use the sad puppy dog eyes on you- I have those down to a tee. I also have a good amount of much energy, so I love going on walks!
Notes from NHS volunteer: Kona is a very sweet girl who is very respectful on her leash! Throwing the ball for her in the play yard was so fun, she sure can zoom! Someone will be very lucky to have her!
Good With Kids: She lived with kids ages 4-11 and did well with them. A slow introduction to new children is always recommended.
Good With Cats: No thanks, I'm not a fan of cats.
Good With Dogs: She lived with another dog and did fine (she was in charge between the two). She seemed to be dog selective per her previous owners, so we recommend a slow & proper introduction if there is another dog in her potential home.
Medical Note: Kona arrived with significant untreated allergies. After medication to get it under control, she has greatly improved but will need continued treatment via an oral medication (she has been started on Apoquel at the shelter), for life. Medicated baths are also helpful for her skin. This would be at the adopter's expense. Talk to your vet if you have concerns about her allergies.
All the dogs at Northwoods Humane Society have had a basic exam by a tech. They have been microchipped, tested for Heartworm (if over 6 months of age), had at least their first distemper combo vaccination (2nd if here longer), dewormed with a general dewormer, and had a flea and tick treatment applied if applicable. All the dogs will be spayed or neutered before they are adopted to their new permanent homes. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix.
