So, I may be named after a beautiful constellation in the sky ;) And honestly, I identify with coming from the heavens!! I am Draco, I am an AMAZING Doberman, found close to the rescue, in really HORRIBLE shape ;( So sad, for such a majestic breed.... hOWEVER........... I am back babies!!! And better than ever!!! I am so so loving, happy and sweet. I love FOOD (and getting it every...day.... WOW!) I am so so great with everyone I meet, too. I love all people, big small, skinny not so skinny ;D And I am looking for that one family who will fall for me and make me their own newest family member! I have had a rough go of it so my people will be very very picky about my forever family... you must know the breed and love us :) I will love you, that is a promise! I am fantastic with other dogs and would love a buddy, OR i can be the apple of your eye ;) ADOPT ME SOON!!!
