About Kobe

Kobe is a lovable, mild-mannered big boy who thrives on human companionship. He enjoys saying hi to other dogs he meets, displaying a friendly curiosity on walks. Kobe is comfortable with various environmental sounds and is indifferent to birds and other distractions. While he has bursts of high energy after leaving the shelter, he's come a long way since June and shows signs of improvement with training. He still needs some work on leash manners, as he tends to pull, but he brings joy to every outing. This affectionate guy is hoping to find his forever home after being back at the shelter. With a past that includes living with children and other pets, he's eager to continue learning and growing. Kobe benefits from an experienced, active adopter who can nurture his enthusiasm and aid in his ongoing training. He'll do best in an adult-only household where he can focus on enhancing his impulse control and social skills. Kobe is an energetic and playful dog, enjoying toys, treats, and close cuddles. He's currently part of the Shelter Scholar program at the ACC, where he's making strides in learning and skills development. This gentle giant deserves a chance to shower someone with unconditional love. Could you be the one to give him that opportunity? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
