Dog's Name: Kirby (KIR1026ALAMDHW) Estimated Breed: Jack Russell Terrier mix Approximate Age: 2 years Approximate Weight: 15 lbs Currently Living at: Coming Soon Adoption Fee: $500 DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Kirbyt! Kirby is a sweet young boy who we think may be a Jack Russell Terrier mix, and he's hoping to find a kind and loving family to call his own. At just 15 pounds with the cutest stub tail, he's the perfect little companion for someone looking for a smaller dog. Kirby is a shy boy who may need a little extra time to feel comfortable in new surroundings. But with patience, kindness, and a gentle approach, he has the opportunity to blossom into a life long best friend. The good news is that Kirby gets along well with other dogs, so having a friendly doggy buddy could help him feel right at home. His small size also makes him easy to manage. Kirby has tested positive for heartworm, but with treatment provided by K-9 Lifesavers, he'll be feeling fine in no time and ready to find his forever family. Apply today to adopt Kirby and give him a chance to have the loving home he deserves! To learn more about heartworm please visit: https://www.webmd.com/pets/dogs/features/heartworms-in-dogs-facts-and-myths Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family. Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, K-9 Lifesavers spend significantly more on each dog than their adoption fee. Adoption fee for HW positive dog also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets.
