About Koana

Hi! I'm Koana. ��μ And I have a few questions. Like�'�| What's that? Can I chase it? Is that the hose?! Can I have the hose?! WHY ARE WE NOT PLAYING WITH THE WATER HOSE RIGHT NOW?! The hose is, without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind. I would happily spend my entire day chasing water. ���| I'm a playful, curious, athletic girl who LOVES attention. I'm basically a Velcro dog with a tiny independent streak. I'll follow you around the house, then occasionally wander off to investigate something extremely important�'�| like a squirrel. ��%90���%8F And when I want affection, I have a very specific technique. I will wedge myself between your legs, fold myself practically in half, and wait for the belly rubs. Yes, I realize I am a rather large Rottweiler. No, I do not understand why that should prevent me from becoming a pretzel �ٴ� in your lap. ���� I'm also a total lover. I'll lean my head against you and give you my paw because apparently that is how I say, 'You're my person.' �%9D%A4��%8F But here's the part I don't understand�'�| ���� I've been returned to the same shelter FOUR TIMES. Four. I'm not really sure why. ��%A4� Maybe it's because my adoption fee was only seven dollars, and apparently some people thought that meant I was a $7 impulse purchase instead of an actual living, feeling dog who needed commitment. �ٴ� Whatever the reason, the rescue is making sure my fifth chapter is the one where I find my forever home! I can be a little suspicious when I first meet people, especially men, and loud voices or quick movements can make me nervous. ���� I've learned that sometimes people aren't very gentle, ���� so I'm still learning that I'm safe now. But give me patience, kindness, and a little time, and you'll see the real me come out. And the real me? I'm a little lover. �%9D%A4��%8F I'm smart. �٤%A0 I learn quickly. I know sit, down, and paw, and I'm working on wait. I even figured out the dog door all by myself because apparently I have places to be. ��%90���%8F���'� I'm athletic and would LOVE a family who wants to actually do things with me. Hiking? �ٴ%BE YES. Training? YES. Adventures? �ݼ��%8F ABSOLUTELY. A job to do? Please and thank you. �����%8F I'm generally calm in the house and settle nicely. I'm happy sleeping in my bed, ���� preferably near my people, and I'm perfectly fine being home alone. I'll even sleep at your feet while you watch TV. ��Ҽ Other dogs? I've done well with a big older boy and enjoy playing with dogs who want to play. ��Z%BE I would probably love having a male dog around my size as a buddy. I do have a very high prey drive, though, so squirrels, rabbits, lizards, and frogs should probably consider relocating. ���'���%90���%8F And if you have a hose? Well�'�| I'm already packing. �٤����| I've been given four chances already. I'm really hoping someone will give me the one that counts. �ٴ� The chance to stop being the dog who gets returned�'�| and finally become the dog who gets home. �%9D%A4��%8F Love, Koana ��μ P.S. If you adopt me, please understand that you are also adopting a part time squirrel patrol officer and a full time hose enthusiast. There will be no refunds on either position. ���� https://www.realrottweilerrescue.com/dogs/koana-mf8d
