Draco
Male - 1 year old (estimated DOB 11/1/24) Neutered - Vaccinated - Microchipped
Red/Albino American Pitbull
Draco is potty and crate trained as well as knows simple commands and he is eager to learn more. He’s great with kids. Draco also love water, but needs his life jackets when in water deeper than he can reach. He is all puppy, full on energy, likes to play tug-of-war, fetch and keep away with his toys.
We are rehoming Draco because, though he gets along with most dogs, he and our senior dog do not care for on another after getting into a fight over prey in Sept. Draco is a VERY sweet soul and we have really struggled with this decision, but ultimately decided it was best for him and our senior dog. Because of his breed, we will be very selective with who he is rehomed to. Ideally, he would go to a family where he has kids to play with, and he is the only dog. He also needs to live somewhere where there’s a fenced in backyard to run and play, please do not reach out if you live in an apartment
This decision has taken many weeks to come to and was not made lightly. We love Draco very much and he has become part of our family, but ultimately this is the most selfless decision in order for him to have a good quality of life.
