About Drako

Drako is a 1-year-old male German Shepherd mix who has come a long way from being chained in South Texas. Now in good health, Drako is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and house, crate, and leash trained. He knows his basic commands and gets along well with both dogs and children. His white and cream coat is a standout feature, and his medium fur gives him a classic shepherd look with a unique twist. Drako suits adopters who lead active lives and understand the energy and needs of a German Shepherd. If given exercise and structure, he makes an ideal companion, eager to learn and fit in wherever he lands. Drako will travel to Florida once a foster-to-adopt home is secured. The process includes a two-week trial and a meet-and-greet in Orlando before a final adoption decision. Your new companion is waiting to meet you. Give them the home they have been waiting for.
