Meet Draco! This 1-year-old, 32lb Poodle mix is a sensitive boy who's learning that the world can be a safe place. After spending much of his young life confined to a crate, Draco is just beginning to discover the joys of exploring, building confidence, and forming trusting relationships with people. Draco is a sweet, affectionate dog who enjoys quiet companionship and leans into gentle pets once he feels comfortable. While he can be a little head shy and cautious in unfamiliar situations, he's shown that patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement help him make steady progress. He's incredibly food motivated, and treats have quickly become the key to helping him overcome new challenges and build confidence! Draco is already making strides with leash walking and enjoys spending time outside, though he can still become startled by unfamiliar sights and sounds. He's playful in his own goofy way, occasionally spinning, pouncing, and bouncing around as his personality begins to shine through. Every day, he's growing a little braver! Because of his past, Draco is still learning that crates and enclosed spaces don't have to be scary. He's been making progress through slow, positive introductions and will need adopters committed to continuing that work with patience and consistency. He'll also benefit from a predictable routine as he continues improving with house training. Draco is looking for a calm, understanding home willing to let him move at his own pace. In return, you'll get to watch a deserving young dog discover what it truly means to feel safe and loved!
