Drake

Drake is a handsome yellow lab around one year old in search of his forever family. He is looking for a special<br/><br/>family who will be very patient as he learns all the good things about being a pet. Drake came from a situation<br/><br/>where he lived outside with many other dogs in a hoarding situation. He did not receive vet care or any real socialization with<br/><br/>humans. Due to these conditions he is a shy boy and still adjusting to the big world outside of the fenced area<br/><br/>in his previous life.<br/><br/>Drake is very sweet and gentle, and slowly beginning to enjoy human contact. Once inside<br/><br/>his foster home and out of the cold Drake discovered it is better to be inside. He loves the many dog beds<br/><br/>available to him now, and has tried out the human beds too. Foster Mom reports that Drake is a very smart<br/><br/>boy and he catches on to the routines quickly. He goes out to the fenced yard for potty breaks on schedule,<br/><br/>and has had zero<br/><br/>accidents inside the house! He will head to his crate for meal times , and follows the pack to<br/><br/>the bedroom every night to sleep. Drake has shown no aggressive behavior towards any dogs, but he is timid<br/><br/>around them at first. There was some fighting among the dogs in his previous life which has made Drake very<br/><br/>cautious around dominant dogs<br/><br/>. He would do best in a home with a friendly canine companion or two to help build his confidence.<br/><br/>A f<br/><br/>airly quiet and low key home would suit him best as Drake tends to seek out quiet, low traffic areas of his<br/><br/>foster home to be his safe space. Drake is easily startled by unexpected sounds and quick movements, so he<br/><br/>would not be a great fit for a home with small children. And no cats please as he learned to chase small<br/><br/>animals in his previous life living outside. A securely fenced yard will be a must as Drake learns to be more<br/><br/>comfortable walking on leash.<br/><br/>Drake’s biggest need is a patient family willing to allow him the time he needs<br/><br/>to feel confident and secure. We would love to have him work on this in his forever home to start bonding with<br/><br/>his people. Drake’s foster mom will be available to help adopters with any questions while Drake adjusts to a<br/><br/>new home.
