KOBE "GENTLE GIANT" EASYGOING AND SWEET! - ROTTWEILER / CHOW CHOW / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Rottweiler / Chow Chow / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $495 + MN Tax. Kobe is an exceptional dog. He is so good-natured, friendly, sweet, low key in one way, yet loves to go for a walk, or a trip to the dog park. Kobe is a steady eddy in terms of temperament and he is responsive to direction and commands. He is crate-trained, although he doesn't need a crate, and potty-trained. Kobe is said to be around eight years old and about 100 lbs. (He was overweight when he came to us, we are working on weight reduction). Kobe looks like he could be menacing, but is just so friendly, we haven't seen any human aggression from him at all. Kobe came from a neglect/cruelty case, where believe it or not - the dogs were starving. Some kind advocates in KY got him out of that situation and plumped him up! He sure does love to eat! We are putting him on a reduced food intake and exercise to help him lose some weight, although he will always be a "Big Boy" he does need to lose some weight for his overall health. Kobe did test positive for "Cushing's disease," so he will need to be on a medication for that for the rest of his life. We have him on Trilostane Compound right now and it is helping him. Kobe should not go to a home with cats but has shown very well with other dogs. Kobe would do best in a home with an active person who can give him the walks, dog park, and fun he had missed out on for years. He can live with other dogs, but no cats for Kobe. A fenced-in yard would be in his best interest, as he loves to be outside, truly loves to sit outside, even for hours, or go in and out quite a bit. If you live in the country and have some land and some if it is fenced, he would love that to the moon and back (but not mandatory). Let us know if you are interested in meeting this special boy. He has a special future, we can tell! Interested in fostering or adopting?
