From the moment he walked into our Shelter, he was assigned the most loving of nicknames - Kobe the Dobie. And, wow, do we ever love him. He has a commanding presence, one that makes you do a double-take. But as soon as he approaches you, you know that you have a friend in Kobe. Kobe is 5-years-old and weighs in at just a smidge over 100 pounds. He is strong on a leash, but has excellent manners and listens very well. One of the most charming characteristics of Kobe is what makes him cry - like after getting his vaccines. Or when he sees you on the other side of the fence and wants so badly to come see you - and he doesn't realize his gate is open and he just has to walk around it to come say hello. Or when he sees a small dog at the vet and just knows they would make great playmates. Kobe was an owner surrender - the family circumstances changed and Kobe's needs could no longer be met. While in the home, Kobe enjoyed cats (like didn't even mind being their resting place) and older kids. He knows the usual tricks but can also dance - as if he owned the place. Kobe is a perfect reminder to not judge a book by it's cover - or it's size. He is as gentle as they come and only wants to become your next friend. If you are looking for fabulous friend and a loyal companion, please come meet Kobe - he is a rare gem that will only enrich your heart! Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton.
