3 SIMPLE STEPS TO MEET THIS PET:
Kirby's Story
Meet Kirby, the adorable, tail-wagging bundle of joy who’s looking for a loving home where he can learn, grow, and thrive! This sweet young pup is as friendly as they come, and he’s already filled with love and energy—but like all puppies, he’s still learning the ropes! Kirby will benefit from steady and consistent training to help him become the best dog he can be. With some guidance and a routine, he’ll be an amazing, well-mannered companion who will adore you unconditionally. His affectionate nature and eagerness to please make him a quick learner, and with a little patience, he’ll be your loyal sidekick in no time.
Kirby’s playful side will keep you on your toes—whether he’s chasing falling leaves in the yard, playing with his favorite rope toy, or just enjoying a good romp outside. He loves to be active and would love a home where he can enjoy long walks and plenty of playtime. After all that fun, he’s always ready to snuggle and cuddle, curling up next to you for some quality downtime. His heart is as big as his energy, and he’s hoping to find a family who will give him the training and attention he needs to thrive.
This sweet boy would do best in a home with older children, where he can have some time to adjust to new faces and other pets. Kirby can be left alone for a few hours at a time but will miss you when you're gone—this guy is all about being with his people! If you’re looking for a fun-loving pup who’s eager to play, learn, and shower you with love, Kirby might just be the perfect match for you.

If you’re interested in adopting this pet, please complete the following steps:
1. Start by taking our ComPETibility Quiz to make sure they’re a good fit for your home. Your ComPETibility Score will help you compare your home to each pet’s needs!
2. After completing your ComPETibility Quiz, you will be emailed a link to complete your Adoption Application.
3. After finishing the adoption application, complete the Adoption Inquiry Form! Once this form is submitted, our Adoption Team will take a look at your adoption inquiry and reach out within a few days.
Please note that while we can’t place holds on adoptable animals for your scheduled appointment, there are always plenty of homeless pets looking for a home! If you don’t meet the perfect pet, please feel free to complete a new Adoption Inquiry Form or visit our Adoption Center. Walk-ins are always welcome, but appointments are recommended for a more efficient visit!

Why Adopt?
Adoption is one of the best ways to save a life. Only a few thousand more adoptions each year in Chicago, a city of millions of people, and we will be a No Kill community! You can make a real difference.
At PAWS Chicago, we keep working to grow our operations to save more homeless pets. It's how we've gone from saving a few dozen to 5,000 pets a year. But it is our adopters who make the real magic happen by bringing these loving pets home. Adopt a pet and spread the word!
First Time Fostering? Learn More
There are many animals that need us today. Each foster family allow us to save more homeless pets by opening their home to a pet or litter in need of love and care for a few weeks. When we are able to send a pet or litter to foster, it frees up space in our Medical Center to bring in more pets in need.
Last year, our foster families took in 1,921 pets. Some needed a peaceful place to recover from illness or injury. Puppies and kittens just needed a bit of time in a home environment with good socialization so they could grow big enough to have their spay/neuter surgery before adoption. Other pets needed a calm and relaxing break from the stress of shelter life.
