Description:
Meet Kirby!

Kirby was rescued from a HIGH KILL shelter. We found a wonderful temporary foster home for this little guy and saved him from certain death. He was in a shelter that only holds dogs for 7 days and his time was up.

Like all terriers, Kirby thrives when he is given direction and guidance. He would do best in a home that is familiar with the breed. He knows all of his basic commands and like any terrier, listens when he wants too. :) Kirby responds very well to praise and positive reinforcement. He does enjoy being the only animal in the house because he loves to have lots of attention, lots of love, cuddles, scratches and he doesn't like to have to share these with anyone else. He loves to share his time with other dogs at the dog parks and would love play dates with them at the park.

Kirby also enjoys playing with his toys, especially tennis balls and stuffed animals. (He would play fetch with you for hours if you would throw the ball to him that long!) He loves to roam freely in a fenced yard and would make a great walking companion.

Kirby already knows basic commands, such as sit and he is mostly quiet in the house. He is very content to cuddle up on the couch with you and keep you company. He is a lot of fun & would be perfect for someone who wants an intelligent, energetic best friend!

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
