Meet Cobalt

11/23/24 Cobalt - have you ever seen a more handsome boy? I can't think of one! This big boy was a sad sight when he was found in a ditch, starved almost to death. Thankfully he was found before it was too late. After many weeks of slow re-feeding, he finally started to put on some weight and is now a healthy, happy boy! This guy has one thing on his mind - LOVE! He absolutely adores his (foster) people, because they show him love and kindness, and that's all it takes for him to love you. Cobalt is currently fostered in a home with many other dogs of all sizes and genders, and he does well with all of them. He would also do well as an only dog if that were the case - he would be happy with or without another dog in the home. He is much more focused on the humans. He gets along with the other dogs but doesn't really bond with them or play with them. His one and only focus is to soak up as much love as he can each day. He must have really been deprived of affection before he was rescued, and he's trying to make up for lost time now. Cobalt is a big guy at about 75 lbs. We believe he is about 4 years old. He is not destructive and doesn't require a ton of exercise. A few leash walks each day would be fine with him. Of course, if his person wants to play, he's game for that, too, if it makes you happy! He is house trained and doesn't necessarily require a crate but will use one if needed. He is crated some of the time in his foster home (when foster mom and dad are at work) and he is perfectly content with that. He is a very good boy and really deserves to have a forever family that can give him a lot of individual attention. Cobalt was already neutered and microchipped when he came into rescue, but his previous owner never registered the chip, so it could not be traced. Sadly, he tested positive for heartworms and is undergoing treatment now. Once his treatment is completed (about 6 weeks) he will be ready to meet his new family! Cobalt is wonderful with kids and would be a protective, doting big brother. Don't miss out on all the love this big guy has to offer you! Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.
