Hi, new friend! Kona - F here.
I'm a five-year-old shepherd heart waiting for someone to see past my challenges and love me for the loyal, playful soul I truly am.
They wrote that I love to play. Understatement. I'd hike, fetch, and nap with you, in that order.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
Born and (almost) raised right here in Tampa.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Halloween — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.
Either way, thank you for seeing me today. That part mattered more than you know. — Kona - F

About Kona - F
We take the dogs that are adopted down...so if a dog is on the website they are available. Obedience training and fully fenced in yard is required for all our pups.

Please only send inquiries to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com Meet Kona! Breed: Shepherd Mix Age: 5 years old Personality: Sweet, resilient, and playful! About Kona: Kona is a sweet, resilient Shepherd mix with the most charming, expressive ears you'll ever see! Diagnosed with spina bifida as a puppy, she has slightly wonky back legs, but that doesn't stop her from enjoying life. She gets around just fine with light, regular exercise to keep her leg muscles strong. Short play sessions and easy strolls are her sweet spot—no long, strenuous walks for this girl, as her legs can get sore. Social Life & Compatibility: Dogs: Loves to play! She just needs a little time to warm up to new canine friends. She thrives best with playful companions and prefers a home without dominant dogs. Cats & Kids: She is wonderful with both cats and children! Ideal Home: Kona would do best in a home with a fenced backyard for safe, light playtime and a setup without a lot of stairs to keep her comfortable and mobile. If you are looking for a gentle, loving companion who will steal your heart, Kona is ready to meet you! Kona's adoption fee is $400 - obedience training is required after adoption and fully enclosed front or backyard is also required.
