About Kobe

Meet Kobe! This gentle soul, born in early January, is a 25-pound sweetheart who is blooming more and more each day. Kobe is a bit shy indoors at first, perhaps experiencing the comfort of a home for the very first time. While indoor life is still a little new and spooky, his true, carefree personality shines the moment his paws hit the backyard grass! Outside, he is pure joy, playful, and full of puppy fun. Kobe is currently learning the ropes from our amazing dogs, acting as their total shadow and following them everywhere to learn how to be a confident pup. Kobe also absolutely LOVES cats! He is a remarkably sweet boy who truly wants to trust and love, and he has already made massive strides in a short time. Kobe just needs a patient family willing to give him the time and space to adjust at his own pace.

Ideal Home

Kobe will thrive in a home with at least one social, confident dog to help him continue to learn and grow.

Ongoing Health

Kobe's adoption fee of $500 includes his spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm treatment, and any other necessary medical treatment. Please note that we cannot guarantee breed or size, as our pups come from shelters.

Training & Support

Kobe is learning a lot from the other dogs in his foster home. He is still a bit shy indoors, but his true personality shines outside. Patience and a consistent routine will help him continue to gain confidence.
