Meet Lakona

Follow Kona’s adventures on Instagram @foster_gma_abcr Lakona (Kona) was surrendered to our partner vet in March 2025 as a puppy to be euthanized after he suffered a medical issue and his family could not afford his care. BCSAVE stepped in to cover the cost and take Lakona (aka Kona) under our wing. After surgery to remove a cloth foreign body that was anchored in his stomach and extended into his intestines, and subsequent fluid removal from his belly, he joined the rescue. After about a year in foster care, Kona grew up to be the sweetest, gentlest, best-behaved boy. Kona is a very friendly and gentle boy that takes a minute to warm up to new people, but once he does, he is all about love. He is affectionate and adores all the dogs that he meets and has learned to live with cats. He does great and has all the confidence in the world when he has another confident dog with him, but he’s still timid when solo with new people and situations. He is 100% crate trained, and has grown out of his chewing phase with bedding and plush toys. He walks great on and off leash, and mostly wants to hang out with his people with his easy/sweet ways. When he gets zoomies, he might knock over younger kids with his goofy play because he has no idea what to do with his legs. He knows his basics: sit, wait, down, crate, heel, come. He just likes to play! He is a velcro dog and meets everyone with kindness. He would love a fun, playful fur-friend to romp with and a loving family who can continue working with him to build his confidence. Kona is being fostered in Houston, TX
