our FAQ page to learn why. Meet Kirby! This wonderful, friendly 5-month-old pup is looking for his forever home. Kirby loves playing with other dogs and would be happiest with a canine companion. He also enjoys adventures and makes a great travel buddy. Walks? He has a bit of a love/hate relationship with them—he won't be too disappointed if he skips one, but he still needs exercise. What he does love is spending time outside! Kirby is fully deaf and has experienced two seizures, most likely related to his deafness. He now takes an inexpensive medication three times a day and has had no further issues. The seizures may be temporary, or they could continue as he grows—it's just too soon to tell. What's most important is that his forever family can provide a supportive environment for his deafness (using hand signals and plenty of patience!) while also keeping an eye on his health. This smart boy is already picking things up quickly! He knows how to sit—especially for food—and has learned signs for "let's go/come," "food," "outside," "stay," and "potty." While walks aren't his favorite, he's making steady progress with leash training and does well when he sees other dogs or people—curious but calm. Kirby is also learning crate training. During the day, he does well and will happily go inside, though he may bark when he's ready to come out. At night, he still prefers to snuggle with the pack, especially now that he's more potty trained. Speaking of which—he's doing great with house training! He occasionally has an accident but has even started going to the door when he needs to go outside. Something Kirby absolutely loves? Snuggles! He's happiest when curled up with his humans, playing with doggy friends, chewing sticks in the yard, or simply being close by. Because he's deaf, a fenced yard will be important for his safety while exploring outside. Kirby's perfect match will be someone who loves snuggles as much as he does and is also committed to ongoing training. Learning new signs has helped him blossom, and continuing that training will only make him more confident and connected to his people. This sweet, goofy boy is ready to bring joy, cuddles, and companionship to his forever family.
