*KONA - BELGIAN SHEPHERD MALINOIS / GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (medium coat). Hi - I am Kona - a mix of German Shepherd and something else - I am smart but don't shed like a GSD. My owner brought me to the shelter when he could no longer take care of me because I had babies and we didn't have a place to live. I was a good mama and all the babies are gone so now I am ready for my new home. A nice lady is letting me stay at her house (foster mom). She says that I have the PERFECT inside manners and medium energy with a good yard to run around. I LOVE my crate - I sleep it in during the day and put myself to bed at night She let's me free in the house while she runs errands -- I leave all her things alone. When she opens the door for packages, she taught me to `settle` on my pillow so I don't go to the door. When she is on conference calls, I sleep well on my office pillow and occasional nudge her to get petted. I can use the doggy door to go to the yard. Being in the yard is my favorite - I love to pretend someone is chasing me - it is a fun game. I run really fast around you and then come in for belly rubs! I also like to chase my favorite squeeky ball. I ignore all the noisy dogs next door that bark all the time - but let the squirrels know that this is my yard. I know sit, paw, wait, eat and I am working on down with a nice treat. It will take me a few tries but I am a fast learner for the treats. The car is another favorite place and I am very quiet. I start by looking out the window but settle on the backseat on the freeway. I have a good stomach and can eat most dog food and I don't beg for your dinner. I LOVE giving kisses and would be happy to snuggle with you but my foster mom won't let me on the couch. My perfect home would be one where I am the only dog. Some dogs scare me but others are fine. Some other things scare me too - so please be patient while I figure it out: shadows or dark places and strangers coming into the house. My foster mom helps calm me down with treats and I stay in my crate until I am calmer. I would love a couple or family to hang out with and watch TV who has a backyard where I can play with you. I don't need much outdoor time maybe a couple of 15 minutes sessions a day -- and I am quite happy to hangout by myself.
