Derpy

Well howdy! My name is Derpy and my name is very fitting for my personality. I am 3 years old and I am a hoot! I am a friendly boy that LOVES toys! I love, love, love toys! Anything with a squeaker (though sometimes I get confused by the squeak...) and toys I can shake around! I enjoy other animals but oh boy cats are TERRIFYING. No, for real, cats are really scary. I could go into a home with a cat if they are calm and will leave me alone... if you have a cat that is confident and will pick on me, I will allow myself to be bullied and I will be really sad. Right now, I am looking for a forever family or a foster home! Unfortunately, I came into the shelter as heartworm positive and I am waiting to undergo my heartworm treatment. I am being prepped for treatment with my antibiotics and am now on monthly flea/tick prevention to avoid re-infection, but I am to remain low activity as I go through this treatment. It takes a toll on my body, so my home must follow through with strict exercise restrictions (using crates and taking me on short, leashed walks) to prevent me from getting fatal blood clots. My heartworm is not contagious to other pets, so I can hang out with your current dogs if you have them, but I must not rough house with them. Don't worry! My heartworm treatment and any medication I need will be provided by the shelter! That is not any cost to my family or foster family!If you have any questions, please reach out and ask questions! My staff will be happy to see if you would be a good foster/adoptive home for me while I go through my treatment and recovery process. Since I am not being fixed until after my treatment is completely finished (this could be 3-4 months from now), I cannot go into a home with unfixed animals or be exposed to any unfixed animals.Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at [email protected] if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!
