About Derpy

Derpy is closing in on his first birthday and is already neutered with all vaccinations current. He’s a genuinely sweet, affectionate dog, happiest chasing a ball or playing with his small dog friend—he gets along well with other dogs, as well as cats and kids. While he’s good on a leash, he’s not fully leash trained yet and would do well with some extra practice. Derpy has a high prey drive, so he’s always interested in birds, but he listens quickly to commands like “leave it” and “stop.” While shy at first because he hasn’t yet had a ton of socialization, once he warms up he’ll quickly make friends—he won over everyone at Lowe’s recently just by being himself. If you’re looking for an affectionate, eager-to-please companion, Derpy could be the one to make your home brighter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
