Adopt This Pet: Meet Kirby

Kirby is a calm, friendly Chihuahua who's looking for a home

Meet Kirby, a cuddly, calm 5-year-old male Chihuahua. Kirby gets along well with kids 12 and over who understand how to treat dogs well, and he’s working on crate training with his foster family (he does have accidents in the crate if he’s in there for a long time). Kirby gets along great with other dogs, but he hasn’t had a chance yet to show if he’s comfortable with cats.

 Kirby is healthy! He is neutered, microchipped, flea treated, dewormed, and is current on vaccines. Your adoption donation goes toward the cost of this vet care as well as transportation and general care costs. In addition, all pets adopted from Motley Zoo come with 30 days of free pet insurance provided by Shelter Care. All dogs adopted from Motley Zoo come with a leash and either a Martingale collar or a harness, depending on each dog's particular needs.

Notes from Kirby's Foster Home: Kirby is a sweet, happy dog who loves to cuddle. He loves to meet new people and can be a silly little guy. Kirby loves to snuggle up on laps and likes to follow around the people he has bonded with to see what they're up to. 

Kirby does mind well and goes into his bed when told the command "bed". He also knows the command "sit". He loves treats so he's turning out to be pretty easy to train. One of his favorite activities is to go on walks and he is great on a leash so it makes walking with him a pleasure! He likes to cuddle under blanks and he's always up for pets - from anyone who wants to give them! Kirby is an energetic, sweet and smart guy who can't wait to find his forever home!

Motley Zoo Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization run entirely by volunteers. Motley Zoo does not have a brick and mortar shelter location. Instead, all of its rescue animals are cared for in private foster homes where the animals receive one-on-one care and attention in a home environment until permanent placement is found. Please email adopt@motleyzoo.org and request an adoption application if you’re interested in giving Kirby a forever home! For more information, please visit www.motleyzoo.org. 

Note: Last week’s featured pet, is still looking for a home, so if you’ve been on the fence about Mikey, Motley Zoo would love to hear from you.
