About Derek
Derek is a 3-year-old, 15-pound Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix, bringing a charming personality and endless affection. Rescued from a hoarding situation in the South, he’s eager to embrace a new chapter in life with a loving family. Friendliness is one of Derek’s defining traits—he gets along well with both people and other dogs. While he might be a bit shy at first, his gentle nature quickly shines through once he settles in. Having a confident canine companion around would be ideal, as it helps him feel more at ease. Derek will thrive in a home that offers patience and a safe environment. He is cat friendly too, so if there are feline family members, he can be tested. Derek comes fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations.
