Kirby has been with us for nearly 2 months and we don’t get it! He’s available to a level 2 home, without young kids. He’s playful, young, and the cutest boy! We are sharing fellow volunteers ’s write up of him below!
“It’s not a secret that I think black & white cookies are the cutest and Kirby does not disappoint! Don’t be fooled by his serious pose - this is a goofy, energetic, playful, silly sweet young boy! He’s estimated to be about 2 years old but he seems very puppyish to me, with his sweet eager attitude. He can barely contain his joy at being outside for the first few minutes, but he is easy to lead down the sidewalk and he settles into a good rhythm fairly quickly.
I wish I had an open area to run & play with him, because I think he would love to really stretch his legs outside of the kennel. But we make do with the leashed walk and he’s happy with that, too. I scattered some treats in a pile of dead leaves and he spent a good long time sniffing them out. I don’t get the chance to do this with all the dogs, but Kirby really excelled at sniffing and finding, and he was so much more relaxed afterwards. He loves to show off his skills like “sit” and “touch” and you can tell he loves to learn and listen. Kirby is so sweet & smart — I hope he finds someone to teach him even more tricks/skills, play games with him and solve puzzles, anything to let him really use his brain.
He reminds me of my own dog with his eagerness to learn and play, and adopting him was the best thing l’ve ever done. Kirby is going to be someone’s dream dog best friend, so go meet him!”
