Meet Drake! This handsome Shepherd mix is about 5-6 years old and is looking for a patient person who can help him come out of his shell at his own pace. Drake can feel nervous around new folks and will need some time to feel comfortable. But once he trusts you, he reveals his sweet nature. He’s a goofy boy who enjoys toys, has decent leash manners, and knows some commands. Crate trained as well, he is ready for a stable environment. Given his breed and nervous tendencies, Drake would thrive with an experienced adopter who understands the need for patience, structure, and trust-building. A home with teens or older would likely suit him best. We need to conduct a dog test as we are uncertain of how he feels about other dogs, and any introductions to cats should be slow and thoughtful for everyone’s comfort. Drake is neutered, microchipped, and his vaccinations are up to date. If you're looking for a smart and sweet boy who just needs a little time to trust, Drake might be your guy.
