My story

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

Draco was welcomed into SSR in June of 2020 and found a loving home with his adopter David, and his teenage daughter. Draco has been loved and cared for by them ever since.

Sadly we recently received news that David was in the hospital and most likely will be unable to return home to Draco. David served in the United States Air Force for 20 years and was a Master Sergeant. We know that the best way we can thank him for his service is to ensure Draco is quickly placed in a loving home.

Unfortunately there is no other family member who can take Draco, so he will be coming back to SSR and thankfully an amazing foster has stepped up for him already. He will be heading to his foster this weekend, now at 4 1/2 years old and up to date on all vaccinations. Draco is very active, socialized, loves to play and REALLY loves his favorite toy, an extra large orange Chuck ball.

While it may not have been his forever home, he was David's forever dog. Please share this post, and if you are interested in adopting Draco to help him heal from this loss, please apply to adopt.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step to adopt one of our dogs is to complete an adoption application. Once you have submitted your application, a volunteer with call your personal and veterinary references. Following references, SSR will send out a volunteer to conduct a home visit and meet any members of your household. We come to your home and further discuss the adoption process.

The adoption application will let us know a little bit about you, your home, your lifestyle and what you are looking for in a companion. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to fill out our application to adopt one of our dogs. Your application will either be accepted or denied after the volunteer submits a home visit report.
