Derby

Meet this handsome boy Derby! Derby is a sensitive, gentle soul who is still finding his feet and learning that the world doesn’t have to be a scary place. A lot of things at the moment are frightening for him, but we are beginning to see small glimpses of his confidence growing. Although he can be very nervous, underneath his worries is an incredibly affectionate boy who absolutely loves human company. He really enjoys cuddles and gentle strokes, if you dare to stop fussing him, he will reach out with his paw and ask for more. It is impossible not to fall in love with his sweet personality. He spends much of his time curled up on his comfy bed, where he feels safe and secure, but he will pop out to say hello when a familiar face visits his kennel. He enjoys a run around to stretch his legs in compound area, but isn’t sure about toys yet so would much rather stay close his his handler. He’s had positive, friendly interactions with other dogs so we believe that he could potentially be re homed with a dog of a calm temperament and similar size – subject to a successful meet. Due to his nervous nature we believe that Derby would be best suited to living in a calm house with children who are 16 years and over – subject to success meet. It is likely that he would need multiple meets to get to know his new family before he goes home. No cats for Derby due to his breed. If you feel that you could provide Derby with a peaceful, patient and understanding forever home please apply for Derby today! Please do not apply for a dog if you have a holiday within the next 3 months. *Applicants that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge
