Story
Kirby is a very sweet guy who was adopted from a shelter as a pup. He was rescued by students who found him in a school bus. He loves to go for a walk, and because of his breed he is very active and would like to go to a loving home with adoptive parents c who is willing to give him the time and energy he needed. Unfortunately because I work 2 jobs, working long hours I couldn’t give him the time and attention, I couldn’t keep him.

Let me introduce you to smiley, happy, Niko! This furry friend is absolutely crazy about playing with other dogs and simply adores a good hard romp. When it comes to wagging his tail, he's a true pro - you won't believe how his whole body gets involved! Just one little thing to keep in mind - Niko would do best in a home without cats. But apart from that, he's an absolute sweetheart and a bundle of fun! With his charming personality, he'll make an incredible addition to any family.Our Adoption Fees are: Kittens (under 12 months): $175.00 Adult Cats: (over 12 months) $150.00Puppies (under 12 months): $250.00Adult Dogs (over 12 months): $225.00PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: A $75 training deposit is applicable to any and all dogs who are expected to be or are currently larger than 25 pounds.
