🌟 Meet the marvelous Kobe! This sweet boy is a true survivor, having been rescued from a neglectful situation and making a heroic comeback! He’s gained weight and is now ready to dazzle the world at his ideal size. As a hound with hints of Whippet or Greyhound, he’s got all the zip you could ever want in a furry friend! 🚀 But beware – if he spots a squirrel, you might just see those speedy legs take off! That’s why keeping him safely leashed or in a secure yard is a must. 🐾 Kobe is a gentle soul but can be a bit mouthy during play, so he’d thrive best in a home with older children who can appreciate his playful spirit. Imagine watching him trot around with a bouncy ball in his mouth! He’s a charming 44 pounds of sweetness who's learning to walk beautifully on a leash...and oh, does he love his walks, bones, and furry friends! 🐶💖 Initially shy with new humans, Kobe just needs a sprinkle of patience. In about 10 minutes, he’ll realize you’re a friend for life – what a reward! 🥰 He’d shine in a calm home, preferably with another respectful dog and access to a yard or at least daily strolls. In his foster’s fenced yard, he’s dazzlingly speedy and playful, bringing joy wherever he goes. 🎉 Kobe’s coat is short, so he doesn’t need frequent baths – but when it’s bath day, he revels in the sudsy goodness! His leash skills are fabulous with a no-pull harness, and he’s adored by all during his walks. Recently, he enjoyed a delightful trip to Maine with kids who absolutely adored him! 🌈 Before considering adoption, please note that veterinary references will be checked to ensure previous furry family members have been kept up-to-date on vaccinations. Current pets must be spayed/neutered. And don’t worry about the adoption fees; they cover everything from vaccines to transport fees! ❤️ ✨ Are you ready to bring this amazing buddy into your home? Don’t wait – apply to adopt Kobe through the Buddy App today! Your heart will be forever grateful! 🌟
