Derek

My story

How this pet arrived: Derek was brought in by a community member on February 18, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Derek, a handsome boy with an adorable stubby tail searching for a loving new home! Derek can be a bit shy with new faces and places, so he appreciates some patience to warm up at his own pace. He's more of an independent spirit and isn't the biggest fan of constant attention, but as he feels more comfortable, you get to see his affectionate side and he enjoys gentle petting and hanging out near his people. He can be a bit uncomfortable in new settings or with new people, so he's looking for a calm, patient home where he can feel secure. He would thrive in a calm, patient home without children, where he can feel safe and secure. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet soul, Derek will reward you with loyal companionship! Come speak to an adoption counselor to learn more about him today! At SDHS:Derek has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home!
