Description:
Meet Kirby!!

Poor Kirby never lived in a home until he was 4 years old! He's been in various shelters and rescues, always watching the other dogs leave, and never getting the chance himself. All of the applicants for poor Kirby wanted him for the wrong reasons...so he stayed in rescue. Kirby was rescued and was living in a foster home. Kirby's rescue has asked for help from MARS to find a forever home for this boy. Kirby is settling in to his new foster home with MARS and is beginning the search for his forever home.

UPDATE FROM KIRBY'S EMERGENCY FOSTER: He's really doing great. He has learned sit, lie down, and shake pretty well. He gets along great with Bodie (foster parents young pit bull pup) and is fully potty trained now! He's fantastic with my 7 year old and really just loves to be in the middle of any action going on. Never even pays attention to our cat. His favorite thing to do though is just be wherever we are and that is usually right in our laps, haha, he thinks he is Chihuahua sized I guess. He's great on a leash. Our puppy isn't so great at it yet so when they walk together the excitement gets a bit contagious but Kirby calms down quick. He's a fantastic car rider. He does jump a bit when we first get home but with no attention he calms down really quick. I've heard him bark or whine maybe a total of five times since he's been here...he really is a quiet dog.

He'll make a fantastic pet for someone. We do not let the dogs eat too close together without supervision. Early on when he ate he seemed to be really hyper vigilant as to what's around him as if he was worried someone might take it. But in time we have gotten him to relax and eat leisurely now. He is such a sweet boy and would make a great companion for someone who would show him lots of love. He has gone to gatherings with us with a lot of people and was perfectly fine - ate up all the attention of course. Even though Kirby does well around other dogs, he may enjoy a home of his own, because he requires so much affection from his humans.

Can you find a place in your heart and home for Kirby?
