Meet Draco: A Strong-Willed, Loyal Dog Seeking an Experienced, Loving HomeIntroducing Draco, a 3-year-old dog with a big personality and a heart full of loyalty! Draco is a proud, independent dog who thrives when he’s the center of attention. He’s looking for a home with an experienced owner who can provide the structure, boundaries, and care he needs to thrive. Draco is strong-willed and has some unique traits that require a special kind of family—a home where he can feel safe, loved, and well-guided.
