Kirby, the deaf pit bull, needs a home!

Meet Kirby, the deaf pit bull! He’s neutered, microchipped, up to date on all shots and ready for you to bring him home! Kirby was rescued one day before he was scheduled to be euthanized from a local, high-kill shelter. He’s only 9 months old and full grown at about 40 pounds.

Kirby is looking for a home that understands the needs of hearing impaired dogs and will be able to train him with hand signals. His foster mom has determined that Kirby is able to hear some things, possibly low register sounds but not high ones. She’s still working on figuring out how much he can hear.

Kirby relies on the other dogs in his foster home as hearing aids, and really would love to be adopted into a multi-dog family. He’ll be tested with cats soon. He really is the SWEETEST guy, he loves other dogs and has gotten along with everyone he has met. He has no food or toy aggression and is very playful, loving and affectionate.
