Kovu is a striking, 4-year-old German Shepherd and Husky mix with a presence that fills the room. At roughly 90 pounds and wrapped in a bicolor black coat, he’s impossible to ignore. Kovu faced tough times, likely hit by a car before being rescued, and made it through hip surgery with grit. That past hasn’t dimmed his warmth—he remains gentle, deeply affectionate, and drawn to people. Kovu thrives around other friendly dogs, too, and fits easily into playgroups. His size and strength call for someone experienced with large dogs; he’ll need help refining his manners and building on his basic obedience. The heart behind those soulful eyes is unguarded—Kovu is loyal right from the start, looking for a family ready for a big dog with an even bigger need for love. Ready to fall in love?
