My story

Meet Derek – The Sock-Wearing Sweetheart! Say hello to Derek, a stunning blue-nose pit bull with white feet and legs that make it look like he’s always wearing the cutest pair of socks (in difference lengths)! This handsome guy isn’t just a pretty face—he’s smart, playful, and ready to find a loving home. Derek knows his basic commands and walks well on leash once his initial excitement settles (he just can’t wait to explore!). He’s a big fan of rope toys and tennis balls—tug-of-war and fetch are totally his jam. He’s been around some other dogs and has done well, but he’ll need a proper meet-and-greet if you’ve already got a pup at home to make sure it’s a good fit. Derek hasn’t spent time around children, so we’re looking for an adult-only household where he can thrive and be your loyal, goofy sidekick. Derek’s looking for someone who understands the breed and is ready for a fun, energetic companion with a big heart and even bigger personality. Could that someone be you?

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Derek, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
