Derik is looking for his forever home. In the meantime, he is meeting new people and learning new things. Recently Derik had the opportunity to go out for the day with one of our awesome volunteers. He jumped right into the back seat and settled immediately. He was easy to tether to the back seat. He was calm in the car and just looked out the window. First stop was at a home and he calmly stayed by her side. Next stop was the Home Depot where he nicely was led around the store. At the shelter, he has been friendly and loves to be in the play yard. Playing ball is a favorite game for him. He is perfecting his commands and will sit nicely. Derik also recently enjoyed a Shelter Skip Day and was "the most well mannered pup ever!!" Please come meet handsome Derik today.
