A volunteer writes: This sweet little puppy is easy to walk, can sit for treats, and seems (at least somewhat!) housetrained. Like any puppy, Kirby is very curious–in fact, he’s so curious that he likes to stop about every 2 seconds on walks to investigate all sorts of things. Some of the things Kirby likes to stop for include: sitting and looking up at me, waiting for treats; sitting and looking up at me, waiting for pets; stopping to say hi to every random person he sees on the street; stopping to sniff a plastic bag; pausing to roll around in the grass for a few minutes; and jumping with joy about being in the great outdoors. Kirby’s zest for life is absolutely contagious–he’s smart, a quick learner, loves squeaky toys, and is very, very easy to fall in love with. Come and see him at the Brooklyn ACC today!
