Meet Kobe. After spending 12 years with the only family he knew, this 13-year-old Shih Poo was surrendered to the shelter when his people couldn’t afford his care. He arrived lost and heartbroken, unsure how everything changed so quickly. Kobe is a gentle, well-loved soul who has lived peacefully with small children and mixed easily with other dogs at the park. Even now, as he navigates a big transition, his friendly and social side hasn’t faded one bit. Kobe needs a dental to help with his painful mouth, but overall he’s in good shape—agile, spirited, and still finding reasons to play. He’s a bit uncertain about being picked up or during bath time, but tolerates it quietly with only a slight grumble. There’s still a lot of life in this little dog, ready for a soft place and a gentle next chapter. Kobe is around 13 years old and weighs roughly 15 lbs. He is being fostered in Rockville, MD.
