Derek 's Story

Ours heart light up every time we say his name or see him!<br/><br/>Who are we talking about you ask, well, it's Derek! Derek is a 4 year old Labrador Retriever, who is such a loving and amazing boy.<br/><br/>He loves his people and is goofy, quirky, and a huge lugga-lug-bug. He hums dodo, dotado as he prances around and enjoys the day with you. He is sure to make you laugh and giggle every day. He loves cuddling, movie dates, snacks, and showing off his collection of toys, bringing you each one, then on to the next. He loves his blankies and prances throughout the home with them, showing them off. He is willing to share them with you as long as he gets cuddled up with you.<br/><br/>Derek is looking for a home on his own, as the only pet. Due to his past, he unfortunately is not good with other animals, of any species. Derek is scared of small children, again due to his past. If you have children, they have to be over the age of 12. He doesn't react to other dogs on the other side of the fence line, so it's ok if your neighbors have pets.<br/><br/>Other than looking to be the only pet in the home, he's an absolutely amazing dog and has so much personality and goofiness. He truly is the whole package, and as soon as he stares into your eyes, you're greeted with unconditional and uplifting love. He's truly the bestest boy in the world!<br/><br/>If you're interested in adopting Derek, apply for him on our website today.

Tails of The Misunderstood Canine Rescue Society's Adoption Policy
You're Ready to Adopt... Now What? We are so excited to help you find the perfect addition to your family. You will be able to find all necessary information regarding our adoption process under the Adoption Tab. Here you will find all the information about our Adoption Process, Adoption Fees, Adoption Application and our Adoptable Dogs. We make sure we match our dogs to the perfect home, to the right energy level and the most loving families. If you think you have what it takes to be a Misunderstood Adoptable Family, we can't wait for your Adoption Application! The Adoption Process Step 1 - Adoption Application When you have found a dog you are interested in adopting, you will be asked to complete an application questionnaire. The application entails questions about your family’s situation, lifestyle and expectations as well as specific questions about the care needs of the dogs you intend to adopt, such as diet, housing, enrichment and socialization, training and veterinary care. This questionnaire helps our staff see if your lifestyle and expectations are a good match with the individual dog and what aspects of care or behavior we should provide additional education about. Step 2 - Conversation Once we have read through your application, an Adoption Manager will have a conversation with you to find out more information about your family situation and what you are looking for. We will also provide advice about care and behavior training at this time, as well as additional information about the dog you are interested in. This conversation is a good opportunity for us to get a sense of whether the animal is a good match for your family to ensure that you and the dog will be happy together. Step 3 - Meet and Greet If the Adoption Manager feels that you are a good match, we will introduce you to the dog. We require the whole family to go for a walk together to allow us to observe everyone's handing of the dog on leash. The meet and greet will involve all members of your family's household, as well as any current owned dogs. It is important that everyone in the household is a good match for the dog, as well as any current animals living in the home, to ensure that the adoption goes as smoothly as possible for everyone. Step 4 - Finalizing the Adoption If everything goes well at the meet and greet and both you and the Adoption Manager feel that the dog is a good match for your home, we will finalize the adoption with the Adoption Agreement. You will also be asked to provide photo identification at this time.
