-KNOWN WITH DOGS: Excellent. Kobe adores other dogs of all ages and sizes and loves to play.
-KNOWN WITH CATS: Yes. Kobe is curious about cats and would love to play with them. He is doing very well learning to read and respect the resident cat’s boundaries.
-KNOWN WITH KIDS: Excellent. Kobe loves kids of all ages and has lived happily with children.
-KNOWN CUES: Kobe is smart, treat-motivated, and learning quickly. He is currently working on basic manners, leash skills, and settling. Like any 8-month-old puppy, continued training will be important—especially since he’s going to be a big boy!

-KNOWN LIKES: Cuddles, other dogs, people, kids, walks, sniffing, playing, treats, and being wherever his humans are.
-KNOWN DISLIKES: Nothing significant identified. He can initially be a little cautious with unfamiliar people but warms up quickly.
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Kobe (formerly Baldur) came into foster care with his mama, Bindi, and littermates when he was just a couple of days old. He was adopted as a puppy and recently returned to our care through no fault of his own. Now 8months old and nearly 60 pounds, he’s grown from the fluffy little puppy we knew into one very big, very lovable goofball. His DNA shows he is primarily Rottweiler and American Foxhound, and he will be a large dog when fully grown.
Notes from the foster: Have room for an 80-pound lap dog who has absolutely no understanding of personal space? Kobe would love to keep your couch—and you—warm.
He loves other dogs, lots of walks, and car rides. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and a big, affectionate love bug. Sometimes getting him into his crate requires a little encouragement and negotiation. He can be a wee bit stubborn. 😂
He’s also still very much a puppy, so he needs supervision and appropriate things to chew. Your shoes may have a different opinion about what counts as “appropriate.”
Kobe needs some leash training as he can get a little grumbly when meeting people o leash.
He’s a good boy with a lot of love to give—and approximately 80 pounds of it may end up in your lap
Kobe is a very big puppy with an equally big heart. He’ll do best with a family ready to continue his training, give him plenty of opportunities to play and explore, and appreciate the occasional reminder that nearly 60 pounds is probably too big to be a lap dog. Kobe, however, strongly disagrees. ❤️
