Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Drake: A Low-Riding Meatball with Big Opinions
If you’ve ever wished for a dog who looks like he was built in a basement out of spare parts, yet also somehow it all works exactly as it should - congratulations—Drake is your guy.
At 3 years old, Drakey is in his prime of life and has mastered the art of being both a lovable goofball and an inquisitive young pup with the wisdom of a dog who has lived through more than most at his age.
Drake has opinions—about where he should walk, what time dinner should be served, and whether or not that mysterious object in the corner has been there all along (it hasn’t). He approaches life with the energy of a guy who drinks Mountain Dew for breakfast, and his idea of NASCAR is zooming full speed across your living room before flopping over like a beached seal.
Here’s the good news: Drake is house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained, and even muzzle-trained for vet visits (because, like many of us, he has strong feelings about the doctor). He’s also a playful dude who enjoys the company of confident, tolerant dogs—or, alternatively, ruling his kingdom as the only pet in the house.
Drake thrives with patient, dog-savvy humans who appreciate his quirks and don’t mind a little personality in their pup. He’s best suited for a home with kids 12+, because his zoomies are enthusiastic, and his snuggles are more of a full-body tackle than a gentle lean. He also has some allergies, but they’re easily managed with meds, a special diet, and the occasional soothing spa treatment (which he tolerates begrudgingly and with many many treatos).
If you’re looking for a best friend who’s equal parts cuddly and ridiculous, Drake is ready to move in, take over your couch, and steal your heart (and maybe your snacks). Apply to meet him today—you won’t regret it.
ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities. That said, we cannot guarantee that any dog is housebroken or crate trained and cannot promise any specifics regarding an animal's breed, size, health, behavior, temperament, or other conditions. Our adoption fee does not fully cover all vetting, medical care, food, supplies, or training costs. As we depend on donations to provide for the animals in our care, we are unable to reduce or refund the adoption fee. Out of area adopters (outside of DC, MD, VA and PA) will be considered on a case by case basis and will be required to come to the foster location for an in-person meet-and-greet. Our rescue is not able to provide out of state transport.
TO DONATE: Please visit our website at www.https://perfectlypairedpitties.org/Donate/ to make a donation. Your contribution will help Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3) continue providing essential medical treatment and training for our dogs.

More about this rescue
P3 is a united rescue effort to both save pitties and support veterans. At P3 we LOVE Pitties & we LOVE & RESPECT our Veterans! 2800 Pitties & Pittie Mixes are euthanized in overcrowded shelters every day, over 1 million every year. 22 Veterans commit suicide every day, over 8,030 per year. At P3 we find these numbers UNACCEPTABLE! P3 was created in March of 2024 with the goal of rescuing Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes from overcrowded shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia and providing the necessary training for them to provide emotional support, nightmare alerts, and pressure therapy during episodes of anxiety and stress so they can be paired with a Veteran struggling with PTSD reducing the risk of Veteran suicide. While we support our Veterans, our rescue is not limited to the placement of service dogs for Veterans only. Our Veterans program is only one aspect of what we do. We want to help EVERY pittie find the perfect furever family!
