Kobe arrived at the animal shelter due to human indifference. His previous family—a couple with an adult son—parted ways, leaving the dog without a home. When the volunteers took him in, he was thin and nervous, showing clear signs of dominant behavior. Throughout his life, he had been “humanized”: instead of proper training and socialization, Kobe was simply shut in another room when guests came over. This was because, as a true protector, he would rush at strangers. His instincts, instead of being seen as a strength, had become problematic.

A strong but sensitive boy

Kobe is a dog with a challenging past, yet he holds immense potential. While on walks, he gets scared by sudden noises, but he knows the commands “sit” and “wait” very well. He loves playing with toys, though he is not quick to give them up—you’ll need to negotiate! He can live with another dog, but he tends to play a bit rough, so the ideal situation would be with an experienced owner who is ready to give him all the attention he needs.

What Kobe needs most is a patient person who will continue his upbringing with love and understanding. He requires someone who understands the basics of training, helps him overcome his fears, and teaches him to trust the world.

Help Kobe get his chance

Right now, Kobe is not just looking for a home—he is waiting for someone to give him confidence and peace. While we search for the perfect family, you can support him by funding “Doggy Day” on the Teddy Food platform. Every ruble goes toward a tasty meal, a warm bed, and brings him one step closer to a happy life for this strong yet sensitive dog. Let’s help Kobe believe in people again!
