Kobe

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 7 months

Kobe is a handsome 7 month old Golden Retriever x Rottweiler pup who is a very soft, happy boy. He came to the rescue because his previous home had no secure garden and he was often heading off next door to the fields where there were cattle when noone was at home. His nature is very gentle and good. Kobe has experience of living with a family and his condition is perfect. He mustn’t have had too much experience with other dogs until he arrived to WCAWG but within just a few hours he had lost his slight worry about them and was participating in lovely, respectful play. Kobe is going to be a big dog when he grows up. He will need an active, experienced home who will provide him with the consistency, guidance and love to accentuate an already lovely personality. Minimum leaving hours for a dog of this age. He could live with children 8+. Kobe will still be too young for neutering when he heads off to his new home. Owners need to bear in mind that they will need to oversee that step when the time comes!

About Kobe

What life with Kobe looks like

Kobe is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at West Cork Animals in Cork.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Kobe, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kobe?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. West Cork Animals handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kobe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kobe if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — West Cork Animals will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Kobe already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Kobe isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with West Cork Animals early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kobe and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
