About Kimosabe

Kimosabe, whose name means 'faithful friend,' is on a journey to find his forever home. This gentle soul offers a lot of love in return for a bit of patience and understanding. He came from a situation where he lived with over 20 other dogs, so he didn't receive the individual attention he desperately needed. As a result, Kimosabe is still learning how to trust humans and adjust to a home environment. At the shelter, he’s making strides in socialization, mastering leash walks, and understanding that even short outings can lead to fresh air and tasty treats. His ideal home would have a secure yard and a family willing to give him the gentle guidance he needs as he navigates his new life. Kimosabe gets along with other dogs and might flourish alongside a calm, confident canine friend who can mentor him. If you can provide a loving home for this deserving boy, reach out today to meet Kimosabe!
