Meet Kirby!

Kirby was rescued from a high kill shelter. He is a sweet little guy that is needing to find a new family. He likes other dogs and would do best with a dog who is bigger than he is!

5/9/14 From the foster: What a cutie pie. Kirby is a playful, sweet cuddle bug. Kirby is house trained and doing well with his kennel training. We are working on other commands like, sit and come. He is a smart little guy, so I expect he will learn pretty quickly. He is a little mouthy when he plays and so maybe would not be the best choice for really young kids! He loves playing with Daisy Mae (a 45 lb bassett mix)!

9/6/14 Kirby gets along with other dogs but prefers undivided attention from his guardian. He would prefer to be the only dog in a household. He has not been around cats. Kirby is housebroken. He is also crate-trained and is ok with the crate routine. He is fine home alone while his foster mom is at work.

Kirby pulls on the leash so we continue to work on that. He's good with other basic commands such as sit, stay, come. Car rides can be challenging; it takes a while for him to settle down and relax

Kirby is a good watchdog and he also barks at other animals (dogs, deer, turkeys) when they pass by. He does not shed much and looks best when trimmed at the groomers every other month.

Kirby loves his walks and is happy as long as he gets out once a day. It doesn't matter how long the walk is. Kirby is a friendly dog and likes to be with people. He usually follows me around the house and when we have company, he likes to sit on everyone's lap.

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.

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.
