About Kirby

**ADOPTERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO DRIVE TO CHICAGO, POSSIBLY MORE THAN ONCE-- if you live too far, please do not inquire as animals will not be shipped** PLEASE READ descriptions in FULL before inquiring** Kirby was found in a critical condition tied to a tree. His finder had kept him safe to find where he belonged before surrendering him to Famous Fido Rescue. Kirby entered the center severely matted, seriously malnourished, and dehydrated. He was very fearful and baring his teeth. He didn't know who to trust or if he could trust people at all. Kirby was given a groom to remove the hair that was pulling at his tiny frame and clear it from his eyes and obstructing his vision. Once the hair came off his eyes, Kirby began to mellow and realize he was going to be okay. In the days thereafter, Kirby has been slowly increasing his food intake to help him gain weight, and slowly showing us more of his personality. He has become especially friendly, and loves to play now and be petted - on his own terms however. Kirby does not do well with fast movements or excitement. We are hoping to find someone special for Kirby who will continue making him feel safe, and never put him in harm's way again. This little boy has been through too much already. Kirby is said to be about 2 years old and about 18lbs but he surely could use a few more pounds! Kirby may do okay with another small dog - cats, unlikely.
