Laid Back Indiana Shelter Dog Looking for a Loving Forever Home

This handsome and huggable fella is KOBE - he is our Pet of the Week and is available for adoption at It Takes a Village.

KOBE is a about a year and a half old and weighs right around 55 pounds. The folks at ITV jokingly refer to him as a "31 flavors" mix because he has so many different breeds. They also say that KOBE is very well-behaved and has become a favorite among the staff.

Kobe is a laid-back guy, who is really chill all the time. He loves cuddles and especially likes his fluffy neck scratched. He is quite the lady's man here at the rescue and is well-loved by everyone he meets.

KOBE is housetrained and does a great job with kids, other dogs, and other cats. Add that beautiful brindle coat to the equation, and it's hard to think of a reason not to adopt KOBE.

So...are you ready to meet him? If so, please go ahead and fill out an online adoption application, and then schedule a meet & greet.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!
