My story

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

Derby comes to us as a stray from Louisville, KY. This beautiful big boy will be looking for a home that is breed experienced, quiet, and calm. Upon taking Derby into rescue it was noted he had a sway in his walk. Off to the vet for xrays and we learned Derby had a vertibrae that was popped out of place at the base of his tail. What could've happened? No one knows, we can only guess - perhaps he was clipped by a car or hit by a heavy object? We are not sure. It sure doesn't stop Derby from having a great time on his walks! smile emoticon

If you're interested in this beautiful bear please go to our website at: www.bigeastakitarescue.net and fill out an online adoption application for Derby
