About Kirby

Meet Kirby! He’s a charming Mini Schnauzer mix, around 3-4 years old, who weighs 19 lbs. This heartworm negative and neutered boy is all about friendliness and companionship. Kirby enjoys spending time with his foster brother, and they make quite the playful duo. He thrives during walks and is practicing his leash skills. Playtime means a good roll in the grass for him, and mealtime? He’s definitely a fan. This little treasure was rescued as a stray, arriving in need of grooming, but now he’s looking sharp and ready for his forever home. Kirby is potty trained and stays calm in his crate while his foster is at work. He would thrive in a home where daily walks and lots of attention are a given. Having another playful dog around would also be a fantastic match for him. This sweet boy is located in Houston but can be transported to New Jersey for adoption. What are you waiting for?
