Draco is a relaxed, easygoing guy who’s happiest lounging in his bed, enjoying a good nap, or quietly watching the world go by. Call his name or offer a tasty treat and he’s happy to trot over to say hello!
When he gets excited, Draco can become a bit enthusiastic—especially if you bend down to his level—but it’s all out of pure joy at having your attention. And that happy tail of his? It starts flying back and forth like a little propeller. It’s incredibly sweet to watch this overall chill dog come out of his shell and show you just how much he loves the interaction.
Draco already knows sit and down, and while toys aren’t really his thing, he loves his walks and spending time with his humans. If you’re looking for a sweet, calm, loyal dog to bring simple joy into your home—Draco might just be your perfect match. 🧡

More about this shelter
For over 60 years, the Animal Protective League has been the voice for animals in Springfield and Sangamon County. APL operates a limited admission animal shelter and a high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic along with comprehensive animal-welfare programs. APL is a private, not-for-profit organization and operates primarily by donations.
APL's limited admission animal shelter prioritizes intake by sick, injured, abused and abandoned dogs and cats. APL strives to match animals with carefully screened, loving, permanent owners. All animals leave our shelter spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with all age appropriate vaccinations. Over 2000 deserving dogs and cats are placed in homes every year! APL also has an active group of foster families who provide interim homes until space is available at our shelter.
APL's Spay/neuter clinic performs over 12,000 spay/neuter surgeries every year. In addition to the public, we work with other animal shelters, animal control agencies and animal welfare groups within a 30-mile radius of Springfield. Our free transport system picks up animals from various locations and transports them to our facility for surgery and then returns the animals the following day. This allows many other organizations to have access to low-cost spay/neuter services for their own animals as well as animals in their communities. We currently work with 31 partners in 18 surrounding counties.
