Meet handsome Cobalt! Here at the shelter, he’s been an absolute gentleman. He walks nicely on leash and relishes gentle pets and attention. He loves to play with toys, especially tug-of-war—he can be a little mouthy in his play style, though is easily redirected. He’s also a big fan of treats and takes them politely and gently.
On a recent field trip, Cobalt showed what a great companion he will make, proving unreactive to people, bikes, runners, and wildlife. He acted so happy, and enjoyed sniffing and exploring while taking direction and letting his person set the route. He passed big and small dogs respectfully and was easily redirected if another dog was reactive when walking his way. He had energy to spare but was ready to settle in for a calm car ride with affection and treats when the outing was over.
Cobalt is a calm but energetic boy, and while he may never be a social butterfly enjoys affection and companionship with his people. He can get overwhelmed in some situations and will need slow introductions to busy/chaotic environments, looking to his people for confidence. Training and routines are a great way to help him. He has gotten along well with other respectful dogs and has a nice calmer energy. He would do best in an adult-only home with an experienced small dog adopter. Cobalt arrived at the shelter in desperate need of a glow up and will require continued coat maintenance throughout his life.
This dog is available to meet by appointment only. Please submit an adoption questionnaire here.
