My name is Dragon!

Meet Dragon, a handsome 1-2-year-old Doberman with a heart as big as his playful spirit! Rescued from a high-kill shelter in California, Dragon is now fully vetted, neutered, and ready to start his new chapter with a loving family. This sweet boy adores people and thrives on attention and affection. Dragon is a bundle of energy and would be the perfect match for an active home that can keep up with his zest for life.

While he’s a sweetheart and LOVES human company, Dragon has been doing great with other dogs, tends to be timid is still learning his canine manners. His young enthusiasm and lack of doggy etiquette ques can sometimes get him into trouble with other dogs, so a patient adopter willing to guide him through training will help him shine. A bundle of wrapped up energy a active home will be best. If you're looking for a loyal, energetic companion to share your adventures, Dragon might just be your perfect match!
