Hi… I’m Draco. I’m shy, but I promise I’m worth the wait. 🐾 I’m Draco around 3-year-old, 13-pound Dachshund/Chihuahua mix with a reddish-brown coat and a heart that’s much bigger than my tiny body. I came from Mexico, where my brother Harry and I lived on the streets for most of our lives. Even though my story sounds a little like some of my friends’, my heart tells it in its own quiet way. Today I’m happy, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and house-trained—and I’m finally ready to find my forever home. I’m available for adoption in Ridgefield, WA, and for the right family, I can travel to Vancouver, BC.

My Story I know I don’t run up to people the way my brother Harry does. He leads with confidence… and I lead with caution. But please don’t overlook me. Behind my shyness is a heart that loves deeply—maybe even more. When you first meet me, I might hang back and watch from a safe little spot. Not because I don’t want love… but because I want to make sure I’m safe before I give you my whole heart. But here’s my secret… If you pick me up, I melt. Completely. I become your little love bug instantly. I relax into you, resting my head gently like I’ve finally found where I belong. I absolutely love to cuddle and will happily jump into your lap and stay there as long as you let me. If you’re looking for a true cuddle companion—someone who won’t want to leave your side—you’ve found him. Who I Am I’m sweet. I’m gentle. I’m soft in all the ways that matter. I love being close to my person and will quietly follow you from room to room just to be near you. I sleep peacefully in my crate all night, and I do very well with other dogs—I actually enjoy their company and play nicely with them. I also don’t mind cats and can live peacefully alongside them. I’m not loud or pushy. I don’t demand attention. But when you give me love, I hold onto it with my whole heart. My Ideal Home Because I’m a sensitive little guy, I would do best in a calm, quiet home—ideally with a single woman or a mature couple. A home without young children would be best for me, where I can feel safe and build trust at my own pace. Once I know I’m safe, I become incredibly affectionate, loyal, and deeply connected to my person. What I Dream About A home filled with patience. A warm lap where I can curl up every day. A gentle voice that reminds me I’m safe. Because once I trust you, I will love you with every ounce of my tiny little heart. I’ll follow you quietly, stay close, and give you a kind of love that feels extra special—because it comes from a dog who had to be brave to give it. My Promise If you give me time, I’ll give you everything. My trust. My love. My loyalty. Shy dogs love deeply… because once we choose you, we choose you forever. I’ve already been rescued. Now I’m just waiting for someone to see me… Could that someone be you? With love, Draco
