My story

  Meet Kirby: From Chaos Gremlin to Cuddle Bug   Once upon a time, there was a dog named Kirby. He came to us as an owner surrender, and let’s just say… he brought the drama. &#226&#157&#140 Not neutered &#226&#156&#133 Humped anything that moved &#226&#156&#133 Snarled like a tiny werewolf &#226&#157&#140 Wouldn’t let anyone touch him &#226&#156&#133 Still somehow he thought he was charming But here's the plot twist... After entering a foster home packed with love, patience, and a strategic vet visit (shoutout to #BalllessAndFlawless &#226&#156&#130&#239&#184&#143&#226&#156&#168), Kirby is now living his best life. He’s playful, snuggly, and actually asks for pets now (we're not crying, you're crying ). He LOVES other dogs and plays with the enthusiasm of a reformed frat boy who just discovered yoga and emotional intelligence. Do we still have some work to do? Sure. Kirby’s not quite ready to constantly “share your toys” kind of guy. But he’s making huge progress and just needs a home that understands growth takes time (and maybe a few squeaky toys of his own). Ideal Home: Another playful pup is a bonus&#226&#158&#149 ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143Patient humans who appreciate a good redemption &#226&#134&#151 story A house that respects Kirby's toy hoarding hustle He may not be perfect, but he’s perfectly happy, full of personality, and just waiting to become someone’s loyal sidekick. Apply to foster or adopt Kirby, loving pup -without the humping Gremlin to Cuddle Bug   Once upon a time, there was a dog named Kirby.
