What are you waiting for? Apply today! Kobi is a super sweet and loving little guy who is incredibly smart. Known for his signature hugs, he bonds quickly and loves to be close, often curling up beside you or nestling in your arms like a baby. At around 3 years old and 17 pounds, with charming short legs and a medium-length black and white coat, Kobi excels at picking up on cues and adapting swiftly to his environment. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, having settled into his foster pack within a week. Energetic and playful, Kobi adores zooming around the yard, fetching balls, sunbathing, and then coming inside to keep you company wherever you are. His loyalty shines, making you the center of his world. He’s affectionate and enjoys being held, always eager for connection and comfort. Kobi is good with older, dog-savvy children but prefers to have his space when he needs it and will let you know. As a devoted watchdog, he will bark at noises outside, making him best suited to a home environment rather than an apartment. Kobi is house-trained, walks beautifully on leash, rides nicely in the car, and enjoys sleeping in his own bed—especially hidden under a cozy blanket! He thrives in a home with canine companionship, so he’s not an ideal match for someone gone for long hours or looking for a solo dog. Being fostered in Santa Clara, CA, Kobi is ready to meet his forever family. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
