About Kirby

Kirby is a lively 2-year-old Pit Bull who joined us as a stray, instantly bringing laughter to everyone he meets. This charming fella doesn’t just look the part; his personality is as captivating as his appearance. When excited, Kirby has a unique way of expressing himself—he pops up on his front paws and barks with pure joy, an endearing quirk that’s hard to resist. He’s intelligent too, already knowing commands like sit, lay down, and speak. Treats are his ultimate weakness, especially Milk-Bones, which he would do just about anything for! Kirby seeks a loving home that appreciates his playful spirit and is dedicated to continuing his training with lots of positive reinforcement. He is selective with canine friends, so we recommend a meet-and-greet with any dogs already in the household. We can also arrange a cat test for those interested. If you’re in search of a fun and affectionate companion who will keep your life filled with laughter, Kirby could be the perfect addition to your family!
