Great dog only HOURS left to live to be EUTHANIZED at shelter URGENT!

Mesa AZ

Description

Will be euthanized at County shelter on Aug. 25th unless we have an adopter or foster come for him!! He has done not ONE thing wrong. He was placed on the E-list because he is struggling in his kennel! Please read about me below. KONA (ID #A4103724) is a 7-year-old, neutered, brown, Dachshund /Terrier/ Lab mix(43 lbs.). Kona was adopted 7/2018 and came back as a stray 6/2022. He is set to be euthanized because he is STRESSED and repeatedly barking and bounding at the kennel gate. This is what frustrated dogs do when desperate to get out. Although Kona can be a little shy, he is affectionate and loves pets, belly rubs and being brushed. He walks well on a leash and “sits” for treats. When previously assessed, he was social and playful with other dogs, so it is likely he could live with a dog(s), but a SLOW introduction would be needed. It is suggested that he meet the entire family before going home, and he might be best suited for a home with older children. PLEASE REMEMBER!! Kons has been living in a high-stress environment and will need time to de-stress and relax!! He will benefit from a predictable routine as well as exercise and time to play. If you can save my life, call ASAP, fill out form below ASAP, OR go directly to the East Shelter 2630 W. Rio Salado Pkwy, Mesa, AZ 85201, open Mon-Friday 12-6pm and Sat-Sunday 12-5pm. https://www.thedogsavers.org/apply-to-adopt/
