My story

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

Meet Draco! This 5-year-old, 62-lb stunner is a calm, gentle soul with the softness of a cloud and the heart of a loyal companion. For a husky, he’s impressively mellow—low energy, easygoing, and happiest simply being near his people.

Draco is wonderfully easy to handle. He comes in and out of the kennel without a fuss, walks beautifully on leash, and keeps a relaxed pace. At first, he likes to sniff around and take in his surroundings, and once he’s satisfied, he’ll just settle down and relax. He seems well on his way to being fully house-trained and is very motivated by treats, though toys don’t really catch his interest.

In the car, Draco is calm and content once he’s inside, but he does need a little boost getting in. He also needs encouragement with stairs—nothing a patient adopter can’t help him with. He already knows “sit” and is the type of dog who learns quickly with gentle guidance and structure.

Above all, Draco is an incredibly loving, serene dog. He’s the kind of companion who brings quiet comfort and steady affection to any home. If you’re looking for a sweet, laid-back partner to share peaceful days with, Draco is ready to steal your heart.

As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.

To meet your new pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
