Story

🖤 Draco is ready for his forever 🖤 Draco is looking for an urgent foster or adopter! 🙏🏼 Draco isn’t only the loyal dog everybody wants, but he is determined to be your best friend for life no matter what. Dogs never seem to fail humans but yet so many are failed by owners. Draco is ready to have a furever home where he won’t be failed! Draco is a great dog who loves to snuggle on the couch with his person and give you plenty of kisses. He enjoys running outside and playing with his abundance of toys. He also enjoys a big backyard to run in when he gets the zoomies. Unfortunately many would look past him because of his coloring, but I think it makes him stand out even more. I have truly enjoyed taking care of this precious soul, he is such a joyful dog and will make someone very happy! He is hard of hearing so when you want to get his attention I either squeak a toy or I wave to him to come. This treat motivated boy will make the perfect dog for someone who is willing to give him the chance he needs. Quick facts ⬇️ •5 year old male pitbull •Dog friendly; cat selective •Fully vaccinated, microchipped, and fixed •Hearing impaired •Energetic and loves jolly balls •Loves to snuggle 📝 Foster application: https://form.jotform.com/secondchancespetsanctuarytx/Second-Chances-Foster-Application 📝 Adoption application: https://form.jotform.com/secondchancespetsanctuarytx/Second-Chances-Adoption-Application 📍 Currently being fostered in Fort Wayne, IN Foster or adopter in the Midwest needed!

Meet Rafa!A 43lb, 7-month-old, APBT mix pup with a gentle heart and a curious spirit. Rafa was found running loose through a neighborhood and brought to the shelter, where he’s slowly learning that people can be kind and the world doesn’t have to feel so scary.At first, Rafa can be nervous and a little skittish in new situations, but once he begins to trust you, his sweet personality shines through. He loves staying close to the people he feels safe with and will happily follow you around just to be near you. At the same time, Rafa has an independent side and enjoys exploring at his own pace, taking in the world one sniff at a time. His curiosity keeps him busy — every smell, sound, and corner is worth investigating.Rafa is also very treat motivated, which will make building his confidence rewarding and fun. He’s looking for a patient and understanding family willing to give him the time, consistency, and love he needs to continue growing into the confident dog he’s meant to be.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.
