Kona
Meet Kona! Kona is a 60lb brindle Terrier mix who is about 4 years old. He has excellent, mature house manners: no destructiveness, no separation anxiety, no counter surfing, no resource guarding, a soft mouth, house broken and has been left alone in the house for up to eight hours with not a single problem. He is energetic, fun loving, wants to please, and loves his belly rubs. Outside he can get amped up with the sights and smells and can bark at other dogs but is easily redirected when asked to do so. He is not prey driven but will whine, and alert to wildlife that gets too close. He doesn't need a lot of exercise to dampen his energy level so would make for a good apartment dog or small outdoor space although he would love a yard to call his own too. He is very friendly and gives big tail wags and loves to snuggle. He has a high excitement level when meeting new dogs so a home where he is the only dog or a home where the adopter is willing to introduce the two pups with training guidance would be ideal. Kona tries hard to please and could use some socialization work with other dogs so three training sessions with The Kind Canine will be provided to the new adopter free of charge to set Kona up for success in his new home!
**Kona is also looking for a foster as his owner has to be out of their home by August 5th. If you are able to foster Kona please email amanda@therawleyproject.org
Adoption Fee: $100. Kona has no known medical issues, is neutered and up to date on vaccinations.

Our Vetting policy
Puppies (under 1 year of age) have received a veterinarian exam prior to departing, rabies vaccination (if over 4 months old), up to 3 rounds of DHLPP (dependent on age), Bordetella (kennel cough), deworming, flea/tick preventative, heart worm test and sterilization. Any further medical care or treatment will not be covered by The Rawley Project. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you. We highly recommend you take you new pet to a veterinarian for a fecal test as parasites are very common in shelter environments and while they are treated before departure, they may need additional rounds of medication.
Adults (1 year and older) are up to date on rabies and DHPP vaccinations and accompany their most recent medical records from a veterinarian. All known issues are disclosed to the best of our ability. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you.
Our Rehoming Policy
While we expect you to enter into any adoption with the intention to commit to being that pets forever home, if you should determine, after significant efforts have been made on your part, that an animal you adopt from The Rawley Project is not the right fit for your home you may list your pet on our site for free until you identify a suitable placement. We do not have a physical shelter and cannot physically take your animal into our care. You will need to find an appropriate solution to safely and humanely continue care for the animal while looking for a new owner.
