Indiana Shelter Rescues Dog from Death Row

Our Pet of the Wee, DERBY, is smiling because he's happy to be alive, and he's patiently waiting to be adopted from It Takes a Village. Our Pet of the Week is sponsored by Walther's Golf & Fun.

DERBY was rescued from death row at a shelter in Texas. He is a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who weighs about 50 pounds. DERBY has a sweet personality and does a good job around kids, cats, and other dogs - plus, he's great on a leash.

Look at that face, look at that smile - DERBY looks like he could be a movie star, doesn't he? His adoption fee is $200, by the way.

If you'd like to meet this adorable fella, please complete an online adoption application. Once you're approved you can schedule a meet & greet with DERBY.

All of the animals at ITV are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, spayed or neutered, and FIV/FeLV-tested.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!
