❗️Derek - Adoption ❗️
If you have been considering adopting Derek, now is the time to put yourselves forward.
Our circumstances have changed, which means Derek needs to find his furever home as soon as possible. (He can no longer go to work with Tracey and it would be cruel to leave him at home for 10 hours a day)
Derek has come along way in the 2 months that he has been with us, but his journey is not yet over. Derek will need an op to have his 🍒 off, to remove his hernia and his cherry eyes. He is currently recovering from pneumonia and once he has the all clear (tonight hopefully) then he will be ready for his op.
His new pawrents will need to continue with his training and setting boundaries for him, as its possible he's never had any before. However, he is a quick learner and will do pretty much anything for pate!
Derek is a sociable dog, and wouldn't do well being stuck in all the time. He loves people, kids and dogs and he isn't reactive to cats or small furries.
His toilet training still needs some work, but that will improve (hopefully) when he's had his surgery. He does go outside for toilet as soon as he has eaten, so he does get what needs to happen, he just forgets himself sometimes.
He does enjoy a car ride and could go to work with someone who spends time on the road.
At night time he sleeps downstairs on the sofa, and seems happy with that. He will sleep in a crate overnight, but other than that he isn't a fan of being in there. (most likely due to his previous life).
His new home will need to understand that he is going to need time and patience to build the trust. Once you do, his character will come out, and boy is it big lol he's cheeky, funny, vocal and playful. He is also very loving in his own way, and likes a cuddle and a kiss, but it's on his terms.
Happy to discuss in more detail for any serious adopters.
Thanks,
Lucy & Tracey
