About Dracko

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Dracko is a striking Rottweiler and Husky mix who came to the shelter when his previous owner couldn’t take him along after moving in with family. With his handsome looks and medium-length, brown, tan, and cream coat, he’s sure to catch your eye. Dracko’s personality is as appealing as his appearance—he is a sweet-natured boy who knows how to sit politely for treats, and he takes them with remarkable gentleness. Walks are one of his favorite activities, and he already does well on a leash, making daily strolls enjoyable for both of you. Dracko can become very attached to his person and may guard resources, so a family willing to provide him with gentle guidance and ongoing training will help him thrive. He has not previously lived with other animals, so his behavior around new furry friends is unknown.
