Kobe - Terrier Dog for Adoption in Petersburg, Virginia

Kobe drops down in the grass with one end of a rope toy in his mouth and holds the other end out for you, and he will keep that game going as long as you keep pulling back.

He is a four month old male puppy, smooth black all over, with white toes on his front feet and ears that have not settled on which way they want to sit. He weighs twelve pounds right now. He came to Petersburg Animal Care and Control as a stray on September 13, 2026, so we do not know anything about the life he had before this one.

He is very sweet with people, and the tug game is only half of him. He plays hard, and then he is finished, and what comes after the play is a puppy who wants to get into a lap and sleep there. He is good with other dogs. He is young enough that most of the dog he turns into is still up to whoever takes him home.

Being honest about what we do not know. Kobe has not been around children or cats that we know of, so we cannot tell you how he would do living with either. He is a puppy, which means house training, chew management and basic manners are all still ahead of him, and at twelve pounds at four months we cannot tell you how big he is going to get.

We prefer to schedule appointments for meet and greets to make sure someone is available to spend time with you. The shelter is open Monday through Friday, 12pm to 4pm, and appointments outside of those hours may be available based on volunteer availability.
