Kirby

My story

Apply here: http://athenscaninerescue.com/adoption-procedures/ Meet Kirby! This big pup weighs a whopping 75 pounds and is about 10 months old. After he has reached maturity, we expect him to top out at around 80 pounds, so there will be even more of him to love. Housebreaking, Crate-Training, and Commands Kirby is a smart guy! He is crate AND housebroken! In terms of commands, Kirby is very quickly learning “sit” and will be sure to add more to his trick book soon. Behavior around other Dogs, Cats, and Kids Kirby is a big fan of having dog friends, and the more the better! He loves playing with his foster siblings and would make a great dog park dog. Kirby is a fan of cats -- maybe too much of a fan, so he'll need a home without them. Kirby has not really met children yet, so stay tuned as we continue getting to know him. Behavior around People Kirby loves people and will trot right up to his new friends and ask for pets. He loves receiving pets from his foster mom but is not needy about it. It’s the perfect mix! Exercise Needs Kirby’s got typical 10-month-old, hound dog energy. He loves to play with his dog friends and would enjoy regular play dates and/or trips to the dog park. When formal outings are not on the agenda, he will do well with regular walks, on which he likes to keep his nose to the ground in true hound dog fashion. Kirby has such a charming personality with his adorable play bows and his excitement to meet new friends at every turn. Ready to make Kirby’s dreams come true? Contact us today!

Our adoption fee is $250 per dog over the age of 6 months and $300 per dog 6 months or younger. We accept payment by Venmo, PayPal, or card. This includes: basic vet care (i.e. basic vaccinations, including boosters completed after adoption, spay/neuter, heartworm/flea preventatives, and treatment for any health needs while in our care), a microchip, a week's worth of food for the trial-period, and a harness lead. All In-State Applications will be considered with some preference given to more Local Applications. WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING OUT OF STATE APPLICATIONS.
