About Drogo

Drogo is an 8-year-old Norwegian Elkhound currently looking for a new home or foster. Originally adopted in 2019, he has a gentle, sparkling personality and is known for being good with everyone—cats, dogs, and children of all ages. Unfortunately, he is in this situation through no fault of his own, and he needs your help as soon as possible. Having been house trained, Drogo is trustworthy when left alone and prefers a quiet life with moderate energy. He enjoys daily walks and some playtime but is equally content as a passenger during car rides. A fenced yard would be ideal for him, as he can still be a bit of an adventurer. Plus, he has a history of adventures at Lake Michigan, further showcasing his playful side. If you are interested in giving Drogo a loving home, please fill out an application. His adoption fee is $150. You could also consider adopting him with Theia, a 10-year-old Siberian Husky he is familiar with—though they are not overly bonded, they do enjoy each other's company. Drogo is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Give this special boy the chance he deserves. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
