Birthday: August 15th 2008 Arrival Story: Derby is such a great puppy. He is about a year old now, and is about as typical a young beagle as they come! He did not have the best start in life...ending up in a kill shelter with his brother when they were about 6 months old. Initially shy and reserved, Derby has thrived in his foster home, and just needs a forever home! Bio: So what's Derby's catch? Well, Derby absolutely needs a fenced in yard. Despite all of his foster home's hard work, they still cannot get Derby to eliminate while on lead, so he will need a fenced in yard. He's also always had another dog with him - initially his brother in the shelter, and now his foster sister, and we just cannot see him doing well as an only dog. Other than that, if you're able to offer him a fenced in yard, another dog to play with, and are willing to continue his housetraining, consider giving this little guy the forever home is deserves! Derby loves everyone and would do fine in a home with kids over 5. We are unsure how he would do with cats... Derby has been here TOO long, and it is because all of our applicants want female beagles. Would you consider giving this sweet male a chance? I've Been On Dogster Since:
