Derrick was found wandering outside on one of the bitterly cold days we had recently. Thankfully he is now safe and warm at Stratford Animal Control, and we are getting to know this little guy better each day.
Derrick is about 2 years old and while he is a bit shy at first, he has a friendly and gentle nature once he feels comfortable. He watches everything carefully with those big curious eyes and slowly warms up to new people. We are still learning more about his personality, but one thing we already know for sure is how incredibly cute he is.
Derrick is neutered, vaccinated, negative for disease, and microchipped, and he is ready to find a home where he can feel safe and loved.
This little survivor made it through the cold. Now he just needs someone to give him the warm, loving home he deserves.
