Derby is being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than blindness or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community. In November, 2021, Derby took the next step in her journey and entered Advanced Training where sheโ€™ll learn the skills needed to support her future partner.ย 

It truly takes a village to raise a puppy, and you can be part of Derby’s village and receive monthly updates about her โ€” donations raised through this page support the care and training of healthy, happy puppies. Help support Derby today.
