✨ Introducing the lovely and laughter-filled Kobe! 🐾 This charismatic bulldog mix’s backstory is both heartbreaking and inspiring. At just 3 years old and weighing in at a solid 65 lbs, Kobe knows all too well the meaning of resilience. He spent the early years of his life as a chained dog in Linden, facing dangers that no sweet soul should endure—like a brutal attack by an aggressive neighbor’s dog. But don’t you worry, because this gentle giant survived! Since that fateful day, Columbus welcomed him with open arms, and now Kobe is ready to share his big heart with a forever family! 💖 With a personality that’s equal parts goofy and chill, Kobe’s the pup who rolls with the punches… or in this case, rolls through freshly cut grass! 🌱 If you thought you knew what love was, just wait until you see him flash that big, beautiful smile! His favorite fashion statement? Flashy red bandanas! It’s a look, darling! 😄 And have you heard his walk-out song? It’s all about strength—"Survivor" by Destiny's Child! Talk about a dog with his own anthem! 🎶 Kobe's mantra is, "Everyone has beauty; not everyone sees it." Oh, the wisdom! And you’ll discover that his bucket list is simple yet profound: finding a loving, forever family to bask in sunshine, enjoy belly rubs, and splish and splash in water! 🌊 He’s a water-loving pooch, so if your place has a pool or a kiddie pool, consider that a VIP pass to Kobe's heart! Though Kobe has a strong presence on a leash, he’s improving every day with the help of some delightful walks. He’s great with children and other dogs but hasn't been around kitties, so a doggy friend would be ideal. Just remember, this lovely boy might be big, but deep down, he’s a total teddy bear! 🧸💕 Now, let’s talk about essentials! 📋 Kobe is neutered, heartworm treated (and now negative!), up to date on vaccinations, and all set for his next adventure! This sweet boy knows basic commands and has excellent recall, making him a fantastic friend to enjoy the great outdoors with! If you are considering adding a loving bundle of joy like Kobe to your family, it’s time to make the magic happen! Head over to the Buddy App and apply to adopt! This handsome boy is waiting for that special someone to take him home! 🏠✨
