Kirby is an 8-year-old, neutered Pit Bull mix who has been waiting far too long for someone to choose him. He has had little to no adoption interest. We don’t understand why, because Kirby is truly one of the smartest, most steady dogs in our rescue.
Kirby is the kind of dog who already understands the rhythm of home life. He knows his daily routine, waits patiently in his spot for meals and treats, and has a calm, thoughtful way about him. He isn’t a wild, chaotic dog looking to turn your life upside down — he’s a loyal companion who wants a soft place to land and a person to call his own.
Kirby is house-trained, crate-trained, and does well when left home alone. He’s also good with visitors and gentle around kids and adults. He has lived with cats and has even enjoyed snuggling on a dog bed with them. He’s a great car rider, too — he’ll sit in the passenger seat like a person, ready to be your co-pilot.
Kirby still has his fun side. He loves going on hikes, exploring outdoors, and playing in streams. But at this stage in his life, what he really deserves is a home where he can relax, settle in, and be loved. Kirby is getting older, and our biggest wish is for him to retire in a home of his own, surrounded by comfort, routine, and people who see what a special dog he is.
Kirby has been adopted twice before and returned. One return happened after a conflict with another dog over tennis balls, so he will do best with thoughtful management around high-value toys. His second return was due to a major family life change. Through it all, Kirby has remained the same sweet, smart, deserving dog.
If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent, easygoing companion who already knows how to be part of a home, please consider Kirby. He has waited long enough. He is so ready to be someone’s dog again.

Kirby, Bo, and Gypsy are just wonderful dogs who have been with us for a long time now and we would love to find them a home before the holidays so they can celebrate with a family to call their own.
Kirby (brown lab/pit mix male) is around 4 years old, house-trained, crate-trained, good at home alone or with visitors in the home. He loves card rides, is a lot of fun on hikes and playing in streams. He is gentle around kids and adults. Has lived with cats and not shown any interests in them. He loves playing fetch but does not like to share balls with other dogs.
Bo (black lab/Great Dane mix male) is around 3 years old and gets along with everyone - adults, kids, dogs, cats. He is friendly, loves going on car rides, play with other dogs, especially in a game of chase or race around the yard. He does not like to be confined to a crate or small room, he wants to be where his people are.
Gypsy (black Shepherd female) is around 8 years old, she still enjoys outdoor activities whether that be car rides, hiking, run or walk around the yard. She loves to play with puppies! She would do best in a home with previous GSD experience as she needs human leadership to help her be on her best behavior. She has a strong play personality and likes to boss dogs around.

Kirby is around 3.5 years old and 60 pounds of pure handsome! He is part Golden Retriever and American Staffordshire Terrier but 100% smart boy having completed the beginner and intermediate obedience classes at PetSmart. He walks well on a leash but also likes to stop and smell the flowers or leave a note for the next dog.
He is playful with other dogs but does not like to share tennis balls with them. He is very obsessed with balls, will run and jump in the air to catch them. We don’t recommend having another dog around him if balls are involved as he is so obsess with them that he will become protective of balls.
He is great in the house and LOVES to be outside walking on new trails or play in any streams he come across. He has been gentle around kids and adults. Has lived with cats and not shown any interests in them.
