This little guy is available to meet by appointment only. Derpy Tiger is an 8-month-old, 10-pound pup with a timid heart and an adorably clumsy charm that lives up to his name. Once too scared to leave his crate, he’s now learning that life—and love—aren’t so scary after all. Each day brings new progress as he explores, curls up for couch cuddles, and plays gently with his dog friends.

Why He’s the Ultimate Gentle Soul
🐾 8 months old and just 10 pounds of sweetness
💤 Quiet, easygoing, and happy to relax in his cozy space
🐶 Enjoys the company of other dogs—especially confident ones who show him the ropes
🌿 Curious about the world and learning to explore one brave step at a time
💖 Soft-hearted and affectionate once he trusts you

What He’s Looking For
✔️ A calm, patient home that understands shy dogs
✔️ A small, friendly canine companion to help build his confidence
✔️ A secure indoor environment where he feels safe to open up
✔️ An adopter who celebrates the small, beautiful milestones of trust

Derpy Tiger’s transformation is already underway, and with a little more love, his confidence will bloom even brighter. Watching this boy grow braver each day is truly magical. 🌟
