Where DO OUR funds gO?
Through our partnerships with different rescue organizations, we sponsor individualized training for adoptable dogs. We are also able to contribute funds to training resources that help new pet parents navigate behavioral challenges.
The dogs listed below had funds from Friends of Kona directly allocated to their behavioral training to aid in their adoption.

WHISKEY
Whiskey, with the rescue since January 2022, has made significant progress through a comprehensive training program funded by Friends of Kona. She has improved in leash reactivity and stranger anxiety, responding well to positive reinforcement and controlled introductions.

SHAQ
Shaq, rescued from a cruelty case, has shown significant improvement in managing separation anxiety through gradual desensitization and positive reinforcement. He's becoming more confident and independent, responding well to training techniques, and continues to make great progress toward being a well-adjusted companion.
