About Derek
Derek is a charming 3-year-old Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix weighing about 15 pounds. With a sweet personality, he came to rescue after being saved from a hoarding situation in the South. Now, he’s ready to find a loving family to call his own. A friendly little guy, Derek gets along well with both people and other dogs. He may be a bit shy at first, but with some time to adjust, his loving nature shines through. He’s looking for a home that offers patience and understanding, ideally with another confident dog to help him feel more comfortable. If you're interested in bringing Derek into your home, he will come fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. He can also be tested with cats upon request. This could be the start of a wonderful journey together!
