Hear ye! Hear ye! Can I have your attention please? Greetings: The time has come to unleash my innermost thoughts to the people and if you care to be a part of this declaration, continue to read on. I first arrived on this planet in the year of two thousand and twenty three. In case there is any confusion, that just means I am still in my puppy era. Let me introduce myself, I’m Kirby, a 6 lb yorkie with a small stature and a big voice. Not only do I love to make my presence known, especially when I’m in a crate, but I also have a big appetite! I know what you’re thinking, where do I put it all? Ya know, I’d be lying if I said I knew, but I’m guessing with all the energy stored up in my tiny frame I probably burn off all those calories during my routine zoomies. I don’t want to fool you, I may be energetic, yes, but I sure do desire a good nap from time to time along with some snuggles. 

I love all kinds of humans, old and young alike, I could be part of a big family even, as long as the little ones are sensitive to my size. I am very eager to please, easy to train but I do need to get on a regular schedule for going potty, so let's work on that together. While I’m still working on a potty routine, I do know what it means. I also am familiar with the command come! Since I’m still acquiring information about the world, being left alone makes me uncomfortable and I may be vocal about that when you leave. A home without shared walls would be perfect for me since I’ll try to call you back home. However, I bet another dog around would be of great help to comfort me when you’re not at home. Dogs are great, I’ve been a stand up little brother to my fellow foster dog friends, and I’ve already learned so much from them. 

Attention is a necessity for me, so don’t forget to make time to hold me, love me and cuddle me! If you can’t seem to find me, maybe look down, because I will be right at your feet as much as you’ll allow it. You’ve probably already guessed that I’ve been dubbed as a total lapdog, but you’ll be happy to know I can keep myself busy with toys, especially the soft crinkle ones. I must admit that the kennel is not my happy place, but I promise to be a good boy when we go on adventures and outings! I do great on a leash and am on one regularly. I am eager to find my new home, and would adore a family but also would be fine with a single person home as long as you’re around often enough to help me grow through my puppy years!

*I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!

**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!

Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.

This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion. 

Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. 

We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.
