Kobe In Maine is a sweet, medium-sized hound mix with a strong prey drive and a knack for chasing balls—he may have some Whippet or Greyhound in the mix, judging by his playful spirit and speed. Rescued from neglect, he's put on healthy weight and now hovers around 44 lbs. Kobe is sensitive and can be shy with new people, but give him a few minutes and he quickly becomes a loyal buddy. He's mouthy during play, so homes with older children (not toddlers or young grade schoolers) are best. Kobes thrives around other respectful dogs and does well with slow introductions, both in his foster home and out on walks. He walks nicely on leash, especially with a no-pull harness, and enjoys the simple pleasures like chewing bones, running in a fenced yard, and a good bath. Kobe needs a secure yard or must always be leashed—if he sees a squirrel, he's off in a flash. He's quiet most of the time, only really making noise when playing. He's made the transition into foster life smoothly and seems relieved to be in a caring setting. If you have patient energy, another friendly dog, and room to let him run or the willingness for daily walks, Kobe could be a great fit. Local foster care placement is only for Maine. Vet references and proof of keeping dogs vaccinated and altered are required. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
