🌟 Meet Derek! This precious pup is so sweet, he wouldn’t hurt a fly. But bless his heart, he’s a little lost when it comes to being a dog. 😢 Can you imagine being scared of new experiences and people? If you’ve ever felt like an underdog yourself, this is the moment you can make a difference! If you’re on the lookout for that “hard to place” dog nestled in the shelter, longing for a home—Derek is your guy! 🏡 Adopting a dog like Derek is an incredibly rewarding journey. You’ll be helping him gain confidence, and believe me, you’ll be amazed at how he learns to trust humans again! Just picture this: bringing home a shy guy who doesn’t quite know what to do with himself, and eventually, he becomes your little shadow, following you everywhere! 🙌 It’s going to be a beautiful transformation as you watch him grow and flourish in your loving care! 🌱 Derek’s ideal home would include other pups who can show him the ropes. 🐾 Plus, a securely fenced yard is a must! This way, if he has a moment of fear during those first few weeks of adjustment, he won’t be able to escape. He needs a patient and understanding home that realizes he’ll EVENTUALLY become your best friend, even if it takes a little time. ⏳ Now, here’s the scoop: Derek has never shown aggression toward humans or other dogs. However, it’s best to avoid homes with cats, as we’re just not sure how he’d react. Given his timid nature, we recommend an *adult-only* household for now. Young kids may only add to his initial fears, making his adjustment that much harder. Derek is soon to be fixed, and he’s up to date on all his vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped! How awesome is that? He’s even crate trained and seems to be potty trained as well—talk about a gem! 💎 And here’s the cherry on top: Derek’s adoption fee is fully sponsored, so it costs you nothing to bring this special, albeit shy boy into your heart and home! 🎉 To take the step towards adopting Derek and changing his life forever, please *apply through the Buddy App* today! Your new best friend is waiting for you!
