Derrick was rescued from Satchel’s Last Resort just south of Sarasota. This dog is a sweetheart, who will be your companion and best pal if you always show him love. He loves cuddles and often times thinks he is a lap dog, pretty sure he has convinced himself he is the size of a chihuahua! He loves to go on walks and will always be excited for playtime. He doesn’t do well with small kids or big dogs, I think the size intimidates him. But he loves playing with little dogs and will always be the most active pup in the dog park! He loves his snacks more than anything and can always appreciate when he’s a good boy, he shows you his appreciation by “giving a paw” and listening to commands like “sit”. Love this dog more than anything, but sadly with mine and my husbands busy schedule he needs more love and care during the day than we can offer. This dog would make any family feel so loved, come meet Derrick!!
