Hi, I'm Sir Derp! And yes, the name fits. I'm a sweet, silly guy with a whole lot of love to give and occasionally… questionable coordination.<\/p>\n
According to the people who have gotten to know me, human attention is pretty much my favorite thing ever. Once I decide you're my person-which so far hasn't taken me very long-I like to lean my entire body against your legs while you pet me. Personal space? Never heard of her.<\/p>\n
And if you think you get to decide when the petting is finished, I may have other plans. I've been known to slowly and dramatically melt all the way to the floor when someone tries to end a scratch session. It's a very subtle technique called please continue immediately.<\/p>\n
I've also shown everyone that I can be a playful, energetic guy, although sometimes my enthusiasm moves a little faster than my steering system. Furniture and doorframes have occasionally appeared out of absolutely nowhere. Very suspicious.<\/p>\n
So far, I've really enjoyed spending time with other dogs and have shown myself to be a social, playful canine friend. Of course, like any dog, introductions to new friends should still be taken at a comfortable pace to make sure everyone is happy.<\/p>\n
Now, cats. Listen. I am a brave and distinguished gentleman… until one of those tiny, pointy-footed creatures looks at me funny. My finder noticed that I seemed pretty intimidated by cats, and apparently my preferred conflict-resolution strategy is RETREAT IMMEDIATELY. Could I learn to peacefully coexist with the right feline roommate and some thoughtful introductions? Maybe! <\/p>\n
Basically, what everyone has seen from me so far is a goofy, affectionate, social guy who loves people, enjoys canine company, and is still figuring out how to operate all four legs at the same time.<\/p>\n
Come meet me and see if I'll lean my way right into your heart!<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","pet_categories":[22,17,18],"cat_breeds":[],"dog_breeds":[294,344],"pet_status":[30],"pet_age_filter":[703],"pet_location":[708],"class_list":["post-212838","pets","type-pets","status-publish","format-standard","pet_categories-pets","pet_categories-dogs","pet_categories-dogs-large","dog_breeds-hound","dog_breeds-shepherd","pet_status-active","pet_age_filter-older-than-6-months","pet_location-nacogdoches-campus"],"acf":{"pet_id":"61507324","sex":"Male","pet_location":"Bldg. 7","pet_sublocation":"Run 25","pets_image_feed_url":"https:\/\/g.petango.com\/photos\/411\/274779ed-b107-48d2-9ea4-864a674253b2.jpg","YTVideoID":[],"photo_2":"https:\/\/g.petango.com\/photos\/411\/18eb6185-1a96-4632-bcd2-98b787e74d1c.jpg","photo_3":"https:\/\/g.petango.com\/photos\/411\/282b84a6-84b8-4501-ae1f-7283d2b049bb.jpg","weight":"59 pounds","birthday":"2025\/08\/06","_dog_primary_breed":[{"term_id":344,"name":"Shepherd","slug":"shepherd","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":373,"taxonomy":"dog_breeds","description":"","parent":0,"count":69,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":294,"name":"Hound","slug":"hound","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":319,"taxonomy":"dog_breeds","description":"","parent":0,"count":17,"filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
