Hi there! I'm Derrika, a sweet 1-year-old girl who was rescued from a local kill shelter by Big Dog Ranch Rescue. I might be a little shy at first, but with some time and patience, I really start to open up! I just need a family who is understanding of this and works with me! I get along great with other dogs, and having furry companions around helps me come out of my shell even more. I have a moderate energy level, so I enjoy playtime but also appreciate some downtime to relax. One of my favorite things to do is play outside in the yard-there's nothing quite like the feeling of grass under my paws! If you're looking for a loving companion who just needs a little time to trust, I might fit your family perfect! I hope I meet my forever family soon!
