A member of the prison staff decided that Kobi was just for her, so his handler has been working with the "nice lady who is giving Kobi a forever home. She is going to rename him Toby, so I have started to call him that. She is not interested in a trick dog, just a calm, quiet house pet. That's Kobi, or Toby, I mean! His new 'mom' is more interested in the basics - sit, stay and come - so I have been working on making those three commands perfect for her. The wait and fetch commands are just a bonus. Everything else is going fine. Toby is ready for his new couch and his new life!" Congratulations Kobi/Toby!     For information on adopting Kobi, please contact the HOPE Program by CLICKING HERE or calling 717-379-2511.    You can complete an application online by clicking here.   Cody       Cocoa       Chi Chi       Justin       Dutch       Ginger       Duke       Georgie       Week 3 It's week 2-1/2 for Kobi in the program, and his handler has nothing but good things to say about him! "He is calm and quiet. He plays a little with his squeaky toy and loves his rawhide." As his handler reported last week, Kobi also will play fetch when the ball is just to his liking! Kobi is quite content to watch the other dogs play. Mind you, he gets along with all of his canine buddies...he would just rather be a spectator than a participant in their doggie antics. Kobi comes to his handler when he calls to him, but most of the time, he's usually right by his handler's side. He's doing well with his sit, stay and wait commands "most of the time" during training sessions. "When he gets tired or bored, he just lays down. Kobi isn't much of a 'trick' dog. He is an adorable house pet because he's not big on being outdoors." In fact, this pup is happiest being Kobi Kuddles as he sits with his handler and watches television with him. "He is low maintenance. There are no problems with Kobi." Would you be willing to be laid-back Kobi Kuddles' forever family? He and his handler HOPE so!     For information on adopting Kobi, please contact the HOPE Program by CLICKING HERE or calling 717-379-2511.    You can complete an application online by clicking here.   Cody       Cocoa       Chi Chi       Justin       Dutch       Ginger       Duke       Georgie       Week 2 Each of our dogs go into the prison with the equivalent of an IEP in the school system. Although it's still early, Kobi's handler says that he wishes he could say that he will "fix" Kobi's issues, but he isn't showing any of the behaviors that brought him into the program. "He could use a little training on some commands, maybe learn a few tricks, but it's all minor." Kobi's handler has even tried to bring out his negative behaviors. "The only response I get is he looks at me like I'm crazy. Kobi is not a real playful dog. He will run after the ball a few times and bring it back if it's not too heavy or big. He plays tag with the other dogs for a minute or two, and then that's it. He is a quiet, loveable inside dog. Let's see how week two goes, but all is well with Kobi Kuddles."     For information on adopting Kobi, please contact the HOPE Program by CLICKING HERE or calling 717-379-2511.    You can complete an application online by clicking here.   Cody       Cocoa       Chi Chi       Justin       Dutch       Ginger       Duke       Georgie       Week 1 Kobi's handler says that he welcomed him to the "Big House" last Sunday. Although they are still in their "honeymoon period," Kobi's handler says that already he has learned that Kobi is a really friendly pup. "He loves to say 'Hi" to eveyone, and isn't a bit shy." Kobi also met all of the other dogs in the program and is having fun becoming a part of the pack. Our newbie knows his "sit" and "no" commands somewhat and will "watch me" if his handler has a treat or his favorite chew. "He loves rawhide...he doesn't really chew a lot, he just carries it around, like a good bird dog." After just a few short days, his handler has given him a nickname...Kobi Kuddles! "I have been calling him that because he tries to get under the covers with me at night. I tell him 'no' and he goes to his crate with no problems. So far, all is well. Kobi has plenty of energy and loves chasing things. He doesn't always bring them back to me, but we're working on it!" Listen to your handler, Kobi Kuddles! We know there is a forever home waiting for you!    For information on adopting Kobi, please contact the HOPE Program by CLICKING HERE or calling 717-379-2511.    You can complete an application online by clicking here.   Cody       Cocoa       Chi Chi       Justin       Dutch       Ginger       Duke       Georgie       UPDATE - 8/22/10 Kobi entered the prison today to start his stretch with the HOPE Program.  He's a sweet boy who needs some self confidence and lots of TLC.  Check back soon for updates on his progress!  Kobi is a five year old Cocker Spaniel and is available for adoption through Cocker Spaniel Adoption Center.    For information on adopting Kobi, please contact the HOPE Program by CLICKING HERE or calling 717-379-2511.    You can complete an application online by clicking here.   Cody       Cocoa       Chi Chi       Justin       Dutch       Ginger       Duke       Georgie
