Derby will melt your heart as soon as you meet him!❤️ He is just turning 3 months old and at a fantastic age to start exploring and learning new things. He is very sweet natured, he is great with other dogs, gentle while you hold him and he loves to give you puppy kisses. He is eager to be where is people are at and stays at your feet, so know that it could be a tripping risk for anyone unstable on their feet. Denver is a Miniature Dachshund/mix, he currently weighs 5 lbs 14 oz and he is estimated that he will stay under 25 lbs as an adult (but he will be larger than a traditional mini Doxy). Derby will come neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He will make a great family pet and is ready to bring fun, excitement and unconditional love to one lucky family. This is a courtesy listing, all applications will be process by his caregiver, Rhonda. We will help facilitate the transport. **This is an Out Of Town listing transport to the city on this listing.** Adoption fee is $500, transport is $185. _______________________________ Considering adoption? Start by filling out our online application (copy and paste the following link) https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DIX/dog Once submitted, we’ll review it and reach out to approved applicants by phone or email. A Petfinder Inquiry is not the same as an application - COMPLETED APPLICATIONS TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER INQUIRIES. If you are interested in adopting, the FIRST step is to complete an application. If your application was successfully submitted you will get a generated confirmation email. DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT CURRENTLY READY TO ADOPT. All of our animals are rescued and transported from South Mississippi where major animal overpopulation means less homes. We only transport them once adopted, in most instances, we can be available for a video call once an application has been approved. WE PERSONALLY TRANSPORT OUR OWN adopted animals to meet their new families. We transport every 2-3 weeks. We facilitate adoptions through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to VA, MD, PA, NJ, CT, VT, and NY. Our dogs travel in comfort with 24/7 care. We have been facilitating long distance adoptions since 2019. ***Breed input is required for each platform but is not guaranteed to be accurate. We do not DNA test. We rescue animals from different situations. We discuss breed assignments with our vets to label them as accurately as possible. *** We are currently unable to adopt pets to ME and RI residents
