Derby

Derby has a real zest for life and seeks a grownup home to share it!

Hi, I'm Derby! Do you love dogs? Well, I LOVE people! I'm what they call a "people-pooch". I really enjoy all the attention and those extra snacks that come with meeting new friends. I am eager to give ALL of my love to someone as special as I am. I really am just sweet guy with a zest for life. After human companionship, my top 3 favorite things are walks (you’ll get plenty of exercise with me by your side), playtime (balls and toys of any kind), and food. Speaking of food, I really enjoy learning, and treats provide me with the extra motivation to learn quickly. When I dream about my family I dream about bieng the only pet in the home, with no children, so I can give you all of my love. I’d just prefer to be your one and only.

I guess that’s all I have to say right now—I’ll tell you lots more when we meet. I hope that will be soon. My tail is wagging in anticipation!

A Message From Derby’s Foster:

“Derby is such a joy in our household.He settled into our home nicely. He enjoys his morning walks, belly rubs, his squeaky toys, and cuddles in the evening while we wind down and watch TV. He has become a real good listener. He comes in from outside when he is called and waits until we say "ok" to start eating after we put down his bowl. Derby learned how to sit, stay, give us paw, lay down, and sometimes we are able to get him to roll over.

Derby will surely be a wonderful companion to anyone who takes good care of him. He's one adorable boy who has a lot to offer. We know you'll fall in love with him as much as we did. He'd love to meet you!”
