More About KIRBY

This little KIRBY is a svelte and leggy 14 pound male Yorkshire Terrier. (You're right -- Kirby is NOT a Sheltie! But he has Sheltie friends who are helping him find his new forever home.)

Kirby is 6 years old, and has been around dogs, cats and younger children, but prefers they only " visit" -- He would much prefer to have his people all to himself! So Kirby would do best with no other dogs, no cats, and probably no small children either.

He is also very agile, and just loves for you to join in playing with his toys. He is a little shy when he first meets new people, but give him a few minutes and he will be bringing you his ball for a game of fetch.

Kirby misses his people so much when they are gone, so would really like them to not leave him alone for more than a half day -- so he is not sad. While this little boy is pretty laid-back, he has a lot of stamina and is ready for a walk whenever you are! -- 2-4 miles on a nice day suits him just fine, thank you!

Kirby is scared of thunderstorms, and while he does shake a little, he doesn't panic or get destructive. He simply finds a nice dark place to hide (i.e in the closet, under the bed).

Kirby has such a good doggie soul, and deserves a new loving home to call his own. So if you are looking for a darling little boy to love on and sleep with, Kirby is looking for you, too! There is nothing he loves more than snuggling up for the night.

Just imagine how great you could be together! :-))
