My name is Drake D17829!

Hi! My name is Drake and I am from Missouri!

From his foster: Drake is very sweet boy who loves being pet and hanging out with his humans. He is calm and quiet and will enjoy his alone time when left alone, but will follow you around if you're home for head scratches.

Drake was a breeder release which means that he is still learning how to 'dog' in a few ways and could use some socialization and training. He doesn't know commands like "sit" or "come" but will come and sit if guided to or encouraged. He is still learning how to use stairs but has been great with elevators. He also does not take much interest in dog toys and seems more confused in how to play with them.

Drake has been excellent with meeting new people and dogs. He is not initially 'enthusiastic' but will be interested and calm when meeting. From his previous foster, he has done well with other dogs in the house and seemed to not mind the cat. He does take some time to warm up to new people and new locations and will hesitate with new experiences, but allows you to pick him up and move him around without protest.

Drake would fit well into a home that is willing to take time to earn his trust for his full personality to come out. He will need some training and socialization, and may benefit from a role-model dog (or dog friends) to show him how to play, use stairs, etc. He does well with younger kids from those he has met as he is very gentle. He is potty trained and has alerted me when needing to go outside, but will need to learn new associations in a new home.

He is still learning stairs, so will need more training or a model dog brother/sister if you have stairs in your home. He has done well with elevators and seems not to mind them.
