About Kirby

Meet Kirby! He’s a friendly Mini Schnauzer mix, around 3-4 years old and 19 lbs of pure sweetness. Recently rescued from a parking lot, he was pretty matted but has since been groomed and is now looking for a loving home. Daily walks are a must for Kirby; he absolutely adores them and is eagerly practicing his leash skills. At his foster home, he's found a great buddy in his foster brother, and they play together wonderfully. Kirby is also potty trained and comfortable in his crate while his foster is at work. He enjoys rolling in the grass and, of course, mealtime! Kirby thrives on attention and would do well with another playful dog. If you're searching for an affectionate companion who loves people, walks, and snacks, Kirby might just be your perfect match. He’s currently located in Houston but can be transported to New York for adoption. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
