Kirby was wandering the
streets when he was picked up as a stray and taken to a California animal
shelter, where he was spotted and bailed out by an FBV volunteer.
Kirby arrived into his foster
home in sad shape, dirty, with overgrown toenails, a upper
respiratory infection and a nasty ear infection. We have to
say, this dog cleaned
up very nicely!
Kirby is a very intelligent young
French Bulldog who gets along with other dogs, with cats and
with all of the people that he meets. Make no mistake,
however, this boy is much too
 smart
for his own good, and he needs a firm set of rules to live by,
or else he would be running the house! He does have a bad habit
of guarding anything he can convince himself belongs to him.
Fortunately for the FBVillage, and for Kirby, his foster mom is
a rescuer of German Shepherd Dogs and wily in the ways of would
be wicked dogs, as well as a devoted French Bulldog owner.
Kirby is crate trained and
housebroken, but keep
in mind that any dog in a new situation may have a few
accidents until he learns his new schedule. His foster
mom has also spent considerable time teaching him basic
obedience and making sure that he knows how to behave.
Kirby does have food allergies, with turkey being the worst.
His ears will require diligent cleaning and ongoing care to keep
them healthy. Currently, he is doing well on a raw diet,
and he needs to remain turkey and grain free to prevent
allergies giving him further problems, especially with regard to
his ears. Other than that, he has no apparent health
issues, and
he is current on his veterinary care.
According to his foster mom, Kirby has been a delightful
houseguest. He likes to travel and is a really fun
companion. Kirby fancies himself a social butterfly and is
happiest when he is surrounded by admirers. Kirby doesn't
enjoy or require a great deal of exercise so a very active home
would not be a good choice for him. All this little guy
wants is someone he can stick to like a burr, he wants to share
every experience.
If you think you would
enjoy a first rate companion like Kirby, and you are willing to
take on the responsibility of keeping him healthy and safe, please contact us! |
