Meet Derk, the ‘stand-up’ pup

Introducing Derk, the charming canine comedian with a heart as unique as his white and black “cow print” coat! This 45-pound bundle of joy is not just a dog; he’s a stand-up pup ready to make you laugh and tug at your heartstrings.

Derk’s tale began when he was found straying along the Stephens/Habersham line, doing his best to turn every sidewalk into a makeshift stage. Despite his knack for comedy, his original owner pulled a disappearing act, leaving Derk in search of a new audience and a forever home.

At just 2 years old, Derk is in his prime, making him the perfect companion for those seeking an energetic sidekick. He’s the kind of dog who excels in agility, turning everyday walks into a hilarious obstacle course. Need a jogging buddy? Derk’s got four legs ready to hit the pavement with you.

Although Derk is a one-dog comedy show, he’s also a team player when it comes to canine companionship. He’s dog-friendly with a preference for playmates who share his zest for life and playful antics.

Fully vetted and heartworm-negative, Derk is not just a pretty face; he’s a healthy and hearty hound ready for same-day adoption. It’s been 24 days since his original owner said they were coming to pick him up but never showed. Derk’s spirit remains unbroken, and his tail is wagging with anticipation to find a family that will appreciate his unique brand of humor and give him the forever stage he deserves.

Come meet Derk, and get ready for a lifetime of laughs and love!
