In February 2024, 2Mock (formerly called Lucky) was found abandoned and starving near Lava Tree State Park on Hawaiʻi Island. Thanks to the quick action of a kind rescuer, Shannon, he was brought to safety in Kona and nursed back to health with the help of KARES (Kohala Animal Relocation & Education Service). Over time, 2Mock regained his strength, confidence, and joyful personality, proving just how resilient he is.

Now a healthy, affectionate, and high-energy 50–55 lb hound mix, 2Mock faces another transition as his previous owner can no longer care for him due to inter-island travel. He urgently needs a foster or forever home where he can thrive safely.

Why You’ll Love Him
🐾 Size: 50–55 lbs
💙 Affectionate and social: loves people and enjoys being part of the action
🚗 Car rides enthusiast: loves adventures on wheels
🎾 Dog-friendly: gets along well with other dogs
⚡ High-energy: thrives in active households with plenty of exercise and stimulation

Important Placement Needs
❌ NO cats, chickens, pigs, or other small/farm animals (strong prey drive)
🚪 Secure, fenced yard required (he’s an escape artist!)
✔️ Best with an experienced, active owner who can provide training, structure, and exercise

2Mock has already survived abandonment once—he deserves a stable, loving home for life. Even a temporary foster could make all the difference while we search for the perfect forever family.
