Black Mouth Cur mix | 3 years old | Large (61 pounds)
Male | Van Nuys, CA
ABOUT KOBE
Personality: friendly, playful, puppy-like energy
Favorite things: likes to play with other dogs and is very polite and fun
Training: knows basic commands
Exercise: Kobe is well-mannered enough to enjoy two neighborhood walks every day and young enough to be your hiking buddy!
Care status: neutered, vaccinated, microchipped
Special notes: Kobe stopped by one of our adoption events and was a perfect gentleman with people and other dogs. He was also very affectionate with his handler. He was also very well-behaved on a pack walk.
THE IDEAL HOME
Best match: would do best with an active family where he can participate
Other dogs? good with other dogs
Cats? unknown
Kids? Kobe is good with kids, but can be jumpy (he's light on his feet), so we'd say kids 10 or older
Additional info: Kobe gets very excited in the car (he likes to GO!), so he needs to wear a seatbelt
