About Kirk

Adoption Fee: $25
Catahoula mix
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Kirk is a super sweet dog about 7 or 8 years old. He is a catahoula mix. We have been fostering Kirk for about 6 months for my mother who is in the early stages of dementia and can no longer take care of her dogs. We had hoped that he could find a permanent home with us, however it is just not working out. Kirk is afraid of my very tall husband and very active younger son. He does well with my older son who has a quiet and laid back temperament. Kirk also does well with women and older, quiet, shorter men. For most of his life Kirk has been in a pack of 5 to 10 larger dogs. I believe he would have no trouble adjusting to family or owner with other dogs. However, he will not do well with cats or chickens (unless they are always cooped). He's pretty laid back and very sweet. We have been taking him on family rock hounding outings and walks, which he LOVES. He stays pretty close to us while off lead but also walks very well on a leash. He knows all the basic commands but struggles with stay. He is quiet and rarely barks at our house although would join in barking with my mom's other dogs. Other than an allergy to some kind of Central Nevada plant which causes a cough he has no known health issues. Our vet gave us some allergy pills to help. We are hoping to find a quiet home with a woman or older man who likes to hike and go for walks. Kirk will also do OK with family that has quiet laid back children.
