Dru's Story

Hi, I'm Dru and I'm ready to find my forever home.<br/><br/><br/> Dog's Name: Dru<br/> Location: Mokena, IL<br/> Date of Birth: 01/17/2026<br/> Gender: Male<br/> Breed: Newfoundland Mix<br/> Color: Black<br/> Dog's Weight: 27<br/><br/><br/>Gets along with:<br/><br/><br/> Dogs?: All Dogs <br/> Cats?: Unknown<br/> Kids?: All kids<br/><br/><br/>Training:<br/><br/><br/> Leash trained: Walks loose on leash<br/> Potty Trained - indicates need to potty and doesn't have indoor accidents<br/> No indoor accidents 1 full week, will sit for a treat, can do stairs up and down, sleeps 7-8 hours at night<br/><br/><br/>Meet Dru <br/><br/>Dru is a playful, affectionate pup with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. He's happiest when he's close to his humans—whether that means snuggling on the couch, following you from room to room, or soaking up attention after a good play session. He's also a quick learner, which makes him a great candidate for someone excited to continue his basic training and help him grow into his best self.<br/><br/>Dru is still a puppy, so he'll need guidance with basic commands, manners, and consistency as he learns how to navigate the world. With his eagerness to please and bright personality, training should be a fun and rewarding experience for both him and his adopter.<br/><br/>He is friendly with other dogs and enjoys being around people of all kinds, making him a social and adaptable companion. He loves to run and would thrive in a home with an area where he can safely stretch his legs, especially if there's a ball involved—fetch and chasing games are right up his alley.<br/><br/>Dru would do best in an active home that can give him structure, daily exercise, and lots of interaction. He could be a great fit for a first-time dog owner who is ready for the puppy stage and committed to training, as long as they're prepared for his energy and need for guidance. A fenced yard would be ideal for his zoomies and play sessions, but most importantly, he needs a family that will include him, teach him, and love on him plenty.<br/><br/>With the right home, Dru is going to grow into an incredibly loyal, fun-loving companion who brings joy and laughter wherever he goes.<br/><br/>Until the profile is removed from the public's view, this dog is considered available for adoption.
