About Derp

Derp is a delightful mix of charm and quirks wrapped in a dog’s body. His zig-zag walk and slightly protruding tongue add to his lovable personality, winning over everyone from his foster family to the clinic staff who’ve cared for him. Though we might not know the reasons behind his wobbly gait, it only emphasizes his endearing nature. This young pup is sweet-natured and enjoys being close to people. He gets along wonderfully with cats and seems indifferent to livestock. While he’s been working hard on his potty training, he might need some extra patience as he finishes learning the ropes. Slow introductions are recommended with other dogs, given his sometimes overwhelming enthusiasm. Derp rides well in the car and is learning the leash basics, but like many pups, he needs an understanding home to help him navigate the world.
