In the rescue’s words

Kirby would be happiest as the only dog in the home, soaking up all the love and attention as someone’s loyal companion.He is dog friendly. He’s not a full‑time couch potato, as he enjoys and needs his daily walks. He rides beautifully in the car and absolutely loves going on adventures. He does well with older children, but we think he’d be especially content living with older adults. Kirby loves being close to his person and will happily follow you wherever you go. . And yes—he really does dance a little jig when it’s time for dinner.Please Note^^^^Kirby is allergic to cats, dust mites, and storage mites.That means he won’t be able to live in a home with cats.The mite allergies may take a little extra management, but with the right medication, he should do well.
