Hello, my name is Kobe. My animal id is #73618. I am a desexed male brown dog at the . The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 3 weeks old.

Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.
Kobe is at risk for both medical and behavioral concerns. Kobe was diagnosed with CIRDC - Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is both contagious to dogs, but treatable with a course of antibiotics. Kobe has also displayed fearful behavior at the care center and the potential for defensive aggression. For this is it recommended that Kobe be adopted into an adult only home with experience as dog owners.

Let's get to know each other a bit more...
A volunteer writes: You're someone who appreciates the finer things in life. Well have I got a pup for you! A delectable boy with a vanilla-cream face and bunny ears to make every day feel like Easter. And those eyes! Though our Kobe may be a young lad at just 2, one look into those deep amber pools reveals a soul that is old and true. Kobe is also perfectly petite at just 55 pounds and walks beautifully on leash, like an ivory deer, all elegance and grace. Kobe loves his snacks and takes them gently from your palm, even sitting without being asked, a gentleman through and through. But as refined as his palette, Kobe's true favorite thing is you! Well you giving him cuddles. And when he sidles up to your side, and sets those amber eyes right on you, asking for a rub of those ears - good luck saying no. And holding on to your heart. Kobe is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan ACC.

Summary:: Tense, whale-eyed, trembling, sedated for exam
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Kobe so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 3
Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No children (under 13)
Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to the fearful behavior Kobe has displayed at the care center and the potential for defensive aggression he displayed (snapping when lifted up), we recommend an adult only home.
Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression
Potential challenges comments:: Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Kobe is fearful at the care center but warms up given time and a slow approach. When an attempt was made to lift him into a transport van, Kobe snapped in the person's face. Please see handout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression.
