About Koby

Meet Koby! This sweet, calm boy is looking for his forever family, and once you meet him, you'll understand why he's so easy to fall for. Koby is a 12-week-old puppy who sleeps cozy in his dog bed at night and is crate trained, settling in calmly and relaxed whenever it's time to wind down. He's a total angel when it comes to grooming — baths, nail trims, ear cleaning, he takes it all in stride like a champ. When left alone, Koby just chills and waits patiently for his people to come home, no excessive barking, no drama. Koby loves nothing more than running and playing in the backyard, and with his medium energy level, he'd make a wonderful hiking or jogging buddy. He's still polishing up his potty training and leash manners, but he's a smart cookie who already knows how to ask to go outside (he heads straight for the door!). He knows a few commands too — sit, paw, come here, and go. This boy is independent with just a sprinkle of shyness. He's a little unsure around new faces, other pups, and car rides, so he'll blossom best with a patient family who gives him time to build his confidence. He's fine with cats and loves kiddos too! We would love for him to go home with another friendly pup to teach him the ropes! What makes Koby extra special is his big heart — he's friendly with everyone, gets along great with kids, and has never shown a hint of aggression. No biting, no nipping, no fuss, just pure sweetness. Koby is a work in progress in the best way, and all he really needs is love, patience, and good people by his side to become the best version of himself.

Ideal Home
