Derek

I can live with older dog-savvy children who understand I need time to settle in. I need a resident dog to help me settle in and I have never met cats. I would like a secure garden to spend time in. I’ve never been on walks before and will need a gentle introduction. I have never lived in a home so I will need help to learn house training. I am neutered and have had a cherry eye repair. 06-11-26 Derek has come to us from a breeder to find his forever home. He is a very scared boy who is feeling quite overwhelmed at the moment. He hasn't had much socialisation, so he can be worried, particularly when being picked up. However, with a little time and patience, Derek does start to come out of his shell and his little tail will begin to wag. Derek will be looking for a calm and quiet home with adopters who have experience with ex-breeding dogs and understand that he will need time, patience and reassurance to settle in at his own pace. He relies on other dogs for comfort and reassurance, so will need another kind and confident resident dog in his new home to be his friend and help him find his paws. Derek has never lived in a home before, so his new family will need to be kind and understanding as he begins to discover what home life is all about. He will need to learn all about home life and new skills like house training and walking on a lead, so his adopters should be prepared to take things slowly and help him build his confidence. He can live with older, dog-savvy children who are sensible and understand he will need time to settle in. His adopters will need to have experience with ex-breeders to better understand his needs. With a little love, patience and understanding, we think he will start to blossom and let his true personality show. Derek arrived with a cherry eye which has been repaired at the time of his neuter. Derek has a travel document. Derek has been given the Gift of Life by Beth Greenwood
