DEREK
Black Labrador Retriever
🇺🇸
Mankato, Minnesota
April 23rd
male, small, baby
DESCRIPTION
Meet Derek! At four and a half months old and just over 20 pounds, this curious pup is ready to discover the world with you. Derek arrived at BENCHS alongside his brother, and now he's looking for an active home where he can continue to learn, play, and explore.
He is incredibly inquisitive and loves engaging with people, always eager to see what you're up to and be part of it. Toys are a big hit for him, and he's at that fun stage where everything is an adventure.
Derek is currently working on potty training and will need a home that can continue to guide him with consistency and patience as he polishes those skills.
He would likely do well either as the only dog or with another social, friendly dog who can help show him the ropes. We are unsure how he would do with cats, though he has shown some interest.
If you're looking for a playful, people-loving puppy to grow alongside, Derek might just be your perfect match.
