Story
Meet Kobey Kobert (ACCT-A-223404)! This sweet boy is looking for his forever home, and he can't wait to meet you! He's no stranger to ACCT after being surrendered 3 times, always due to circumstances outside of his control, but he's ready to leave his past behind and snuggle right into a new life!
Kobey Kobert is a playful and energetic dog who loves to zoom around and have fun. He enjoys playing with rope toys and engaging in a good game of tug-of-war. This smart boy already knows sit and is mostly housetrained! 🧠 When he's not playing, Kobey Kobert enjoys relaxing and getting attention from his favorite people. He’s known to give full body wiggles when excited and happy!
He has previously done well with respectful dogs, showing playful interest and redirecting easily. However, slow, proper decompression will be crucial to success for Kobey Kobert and any resident dogs 🐶 He is looking for a home without cats 🚫🐱 and his future family should note that he has a chicken allergy.
Kobey Kobert connects with his people deeply and is looking for a patient, loving home to spend forever in! ❤️ He's available for adoption or rescue. Come meet him any day at ACCT from 10am-6pm!

⭐️ BEHAVIOR ⭐️
Behavior eval 2/10/2026:
Kennel presentation: When I approached his kennel, he stood up and began tippy tapping. As I stood there, he started barking. When I opened the door, he was trying to push out. He allowed me to leash him.
Leash Skills: He peed as soon as we got outside. He is strong and pulls moderately on leash.
Sociability: When I sat down, he left his rope toy and approached me, putting his front paws on my lap. He allowed me to pet him all over, remaining loose. He did exhibit some brief mouthiness. Seems to know "sit."
Play & Toys: He is high energy. He zoomed all over the yard. He did put my leash in my mouth but only when romping around. When I took a rope toy out, he jumped up to grab it. We played a game of tug of war, during which he remained playful.
Dog interaction: None.
Returning to kennel: Walking through the kennels, he did attempt to go up to other dogs kennels. He easily went in his kennel and allowed me to unleash him.
