Kona 8 y/o & Luke 2 y/o in Alexandria, VA
Name/Age: Kona (8 years), Luka (2 years)
Breed: Bernese Mountain Dogs
Weight: Kona ~90 lbs, Luka ~96 lbsKona and Luka are a lovable, bonded pair who were owner-surrendered together and are now seeking a forever home—together. These big boys believe they’re lap dogs and thrive on human attention, snuggles, and companionship. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch or following you around the house, they’re happiest by your side.
🐾 Meet Kona:
Kona is the ultimate snuggle master. He greets you with barks, tail wags, and proudly presents his favorite squeaky toy. Despite being 8 years old, he has excellent energy and enjoys walks. He’s also a great housemate to cats, even when they steal his spot on the bed. We’re currently helping Kona work on leash manners and enthusiastic greetings.
🐾 Meet Luka:
Luka is up for anything—walks, car rides, or patio dining. He’s a gentle giant who lets the cats rule the roost and loves watching the world from the window. Luka is smart and trainable, currently working on basic commands and redirecting some mouthy behavior.
🏡 Their Ideal Home:
Kona and Luka would do best with an experienced dog owner who can continue their training, help channel their energy, and reinforce positive behaviors. They need consistency, love, and someone ready to enjoy the perks of life with two giant, affectionate goofballs.
If you’re looking for a double dose of love, apply today to bring this bonded pair home!
