About Kobe

Meet Kobe! Kobe is a 3-year-old Doodle mix with a lively spirit and a beautifully curly gray coat. Once he feels safe, he craves close company, always wanting to be near his people. Being deaf influences how he interacts with the world; he tends to startle when he doesn’t see someone approaching. However, with patient introductions and understanding, he reveals himself as a sweet and affectionate companion. He’s ready for a fresh start in Maine on November 7th after being surrendered by his previous owner. Kobe will thrive in a calm, consistent home that supports him through his heartworm treatment. His ideal family will give him time to adjust, and in return, he will offer deep devotion and companionship. This lucky home will find that once he bonds with them, Kobe never wants to let go.
