My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I’m Draco and for such a youngster, I’ve not always had it easy. I’ve had too many homes where I was not given the best care. I arrived here so skinny that my tummy hurt. And I was filthy with overgrown nails. My heart was kind of broken, but the staff and volunteers here have been making my life so much better! I’m getting the meals I so need and the care that I deserve. I was so grateful, that I’ve been trying to crawl into any available lap for a good snuggle. So, now that I am feeling better, I’m ready to get back to a frisky and fun puppyhood. I am really a very sweet pooch! Can you adopt me please and show me a good life? I’ll reward you with a waggy tail and a big puppy dog smile! I hope to see you soon!
