Derby

Meet Derby! <br/><br/>Have you ever wished your dog came with built-in satellite dishes? Well, Derby has you covered! This adorable 5-month-old Lab/Shepherd mix is sporting a pair of ears so impressive we're pretty sure they can pick up next week's weather forecast. <br/><br/>Derby is a sweet, gentle soul who takes a little time to warm up in new places.

With a patient family willing to cheer him on, this shy guy is going to blossom into the amazing dog we already know he is.<br/><br/>He's crate trained, almost fully house trained, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He's also good with slow-moving, respectful kiddos who understand that confidence grows with kindness.<br/><br/>Now, let's talk about cats... Derby thinks they're the most fascinating creatures on Earth. He'll happily announce their every move with enthusiastic barking, but it's all for investigative purposes. No harm intended—he just has a lot of questions they'd refuse to answer. <br/><br/>Whether he's following his dog friends around for reassurance or giving you those soulful puppy eyes from beneath his oversized ears, Derby is impossible not to love.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal best friend who just needs a little encouragement to discover how brave he really is, Derby is waiting to meet you. Bring the treats, the patience, and maybe a few compliments about those legendary ears... he deserves every one of them. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>**Dog breeds listed are best guesses from veterinary professionals, they are never a guarantee. www.brownpawsrescue.com.
