About Kobe

Meet handsome Kobe! This sweet 13-year-old Shih Tzu is looking for a special home after his owner passed away. Kobe is both deaf and blind, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying life. He's mellow and gentle, spending his days lounging in his dog bed and soaking up the sun during short outdoor outings. Kobe is a quiet companion, only barking when he needs to go outside or come back in. He coexists beautifully with other dogs and cats in foster care and is ready to bring his calm energy into a new family. While he enjoys a good petting session, Kobe ideally prefers staying in his bed over snuggling on the couch. This isn't a typical cuddle bug, but he does offer his own brand of charm, including an adorable little jump back to his bed after potty breaks. Kobe is neutered, vaccinated, and house-trained. He needs a caring adopter who will appreciate him for who he is, regardless of how much affection he shows. With an adoption fee of $200, he’s fully ready for a loving home.
