My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Derek! I was found as a stray, and while my past wasn't the easiest, I'm all
about looking forward to a better future. It might take me a little while to warm up to new faces or loud noises (like the vacuum!), but with a little patience, I'll quickly become your loyal best friend, showing you just how sweet and loving I can be.
If my soulful eyes don't win you over, my playful, silly personality surely will. I'm full of puppy-like playfulness but with the maturity of an adult dog. Tug-of-war? Count me in! But my favorite thing? Being with my humans. Whether we're playing, lounging, or just hanging out, I’m happiest by your side. I'm gentle with my mouth and love sneaking in a "sniffy kiss" or two.
I’m a firm believer that a cozy spot on the couch beats any dog bed, especially when I can snuggle up with you. I am dog friendly, just learning how to play so a patient but playful companion would be my choice!
I’m smart, love my routine, and I’m both kennel and potty trained. I promise that once I know you’re a safe, loving human, I’ll shower you with all the sniffy kisses and tail wags you could ever need. Please give me the chance to show you the joy I can bring to your life.
Derek is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. If you are interested in meeting Derek please fill out an application on the website. MSCrescue.org/adopt
Derek is eligible for our Foster to Adopt Program.
