Story
LOCATION: Newfoundland, PADOB: 01/19/2023Kobie is a striking Doberman with a gentle soul and a heart full of potential, just waiting for the right person to see it. You might remember him as “Julius,” the quiet boy who narrowly escaped his final moments in Houston thanks to a last-call rescue. Today, he’s safe, thriving, and searching for a calm, committed home where he can finally exhale.He’s got a few little skin tags around his eyes—nothing that bothers him or affects his vision, just a few harmless bumps that make him all the more unique. Underneath that sleek coat and alert gaze is a dog who’s been through more than we’ll ever really know, and because of that, Kobie prefers the quieter side of life. Loud homes, lots of visitors, and kids are just too much for him. He’s happiest in a steady, low-key environment where he can find comfort in routine and trust in his people.Kobie is house-trained, doesn’t chew or destroy, and has been learning to feel safe in a crate, even though he doesn’t need one. He’s a medium-energy companion who matches the mood of his home—ready for a play session when you are, but just as content to curl up for a quiet evening. While he can get nervous in new or stressful situations like vet visits, he responds best to calm, confident adults who give him leadership and space to settle in at his own pace.He gets along with other large, friendly dogs who are respectful and don’t bring drama—Kobie’s not interested in any tension. Small animals, however, are a no-go. His prey drive is strong, and cats and critters bring out his chase mode in full force.Out and about, he’s a good traveler, walks nicely on leash unless a squirrel happens to dash by, and can navigate public spaces without reacting to people. He’s incredibly smart and loves to learn—he knows all his basic commands and even some advanced tricks. One of his favorite things to show off is pressing a button across the room to release a treat from his toy. And if you ever forget he’s waiting for attention, he’ll give you a gentle paw to remind you he’s right there.Cuddles are high on Kobie’s list of priorities. He wants to be near you, to share your space, and to know he’s safe. He even tolerates nail trims with a Dremel like a pro—just one more reason he’s a special kind of dog.Kobie isn’t for everyone, but for the right person—someone patient, calm, and committed—he’s a loyal, loving, deeply rewarding companion. If you’re looking for a quiet shadow, a clever partner, and a pup with a story to tell, Kobie just might be the missing piece in your life.
