Derek is a lively young Labrador Retriever/mixed breed pup with enough energy to make every day feel new. He’s about medium-sized, not too big or small, and at just under a year old, he’s brimming with curiosity and open optimism. His eyes have that spark—curious one moment, playful the next. Whatever his backstory, Derek is all about what’s ahead: walks, games, and genuine connection with someone ready for the adventure. He’s only just arrived at the rescue, so the full picture of his quirks and routines will surface soon, but what’s obvious is his readiness to bond. Derek will thrive in a home that appreciates an affectionate, fun-loving dog who adds enthusiasm, not just background noise, to the day. He’s a Gemini—expect a little extra personality.
