About Derp

Derp is a delightful mix of charm and character. This wobbly young pup has completely won over everyone he meets, from his foster home to the clinic staff who have cared for him. With his distinctive parrot mouth and a tongue that frequently sticks out, Derp's zig-zag walk only adds to his unique appeal. Affectionate and sweet, he loves to snuggle up and enjoys being around other animals. He gets along well with cats and is indifferent towards livestock. Though he's food motivated and generally comfortable in his crate, Derp is still working on potty training and might require a bit of extra patience. As a recently neutered young dog, he's learning boundaries and personal space, which means slow introductions to other dogs are essential. Some might find his energetic personality a bit overwhelming at first, so a meet-and-greet is strongly recommended. He rides well in the car and is beginning to learn leash walking, but like any young pup, he needs a caring home to guide him. If you're ready for a loving companion full of quirks, Derp could be the perfect match for you!
