Drake is about 10 years old, he has only been with family members. He was recently living with my father who passed, I have taken him but I am unable to keep up with his needs. He does not care to be groomed and with his coat it can be too much. He may do better with someone else. I would like for him to go to a good home, he does better with single families, not other pets
