My story

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

I love you.  I love you!  I looooove you!!!!  Hi, I'm Draco, a lover of all people! I cannot contain my excitement and joy when I get to meet a new person. When they come in and visit with me and pet me, it is THE BEST! I’m a homebody that loves hanging out with my people while they relax and getting some quality snuggles and ear scratches. The two children in my house are my FAVORITE people. Mom won’t let me sleep all night with them, but I always try to sneak into their beds at bedtime to keep them warm until she asks me to go to my bed.

Although I love going on walks and can walk loosely on the leash with the best of them, I get way too excited when I see other dogs, so we have to work on some training together so I can be the best walker ever. I’ve met dogs, big and small, at home, and it’s okay when they visit and play, but c’mon, who wants to share their people with other four-legged friends?! Can you blame me that I have been much more interested in being the only dog living in the house lately? I love sleeping in a crate and don’t mind going into mine when my family leaves for the day, but they have been leaving me in the house since I became so mature.

I’m willing to run around in an open space and play if you want, but I don’t need a ton of activity. Let’s just say if mom asked me to choose between running a 5K and the couch, I’d choose the couch. Now just because I don’t run doesn’t mean I don’t love to chew! Give me some nylon toys or a bully stick in a safety holder, and I will chew it UP! I’ve learned not to eat things around the house or chew up shoes because I can really appreciate a dog toy made just for me. I am a pandemic baby, so I get anxious and reactive when I am out of the house due to not getting out much when I was young. I am 4 years old and 62lbs of (people-loving!) dog that can be trusted in the house to not potty or eat your valuables. I would love to join your family!

If you feel your home might be the right place for this wonderful dog, the place to start is with the adoption application found at www.dfwrescueme.org/adopt.  Once submitted, the foster will contact you to tell you more, and to arrange a meeting! The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $250.00, which includes their vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Draco is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so custody and ongoing care are provided by the foster, not by DFWRM.

More about this rescue

Our goal is to save dogs at the local shelters in the Dallas \ Fort Worth Metroplex from euthanasia and adopt them to the public. We spay / neuter these dogs as well as provide all necessary medical care. We also educate the public about responsible pet ownership. We love dogs and our goal is to reduce / eliminate euthanisias being done in this area by shelters due to overcrowding.
