Weight: 10–15 lbs as of March 29 (Medium full grown)

Are you looking for a smart, happy-go-lucky puppy to join your family? Meet Drako! This handsome little guy came to us from a neighboring town when his family’s circumstances changed, and he is now searching for his true "forever" home.

Why Drako is the Perfect Companion:
Social Butterfly: At just 4 months old, Drako is a blank slate! He has that typical, friendly puppy personality and is young enough to integrate perfectly with other dogs, cats, and children.

Crate Savvy: Drako is already used to spending time in his crate, which gives you a great head start on his routine.

Active & Intelligent: With his Australian Shepherd and Cattle Dog heritage, he’s going to be a quick learner who loves to stay busy. Whether it's backyard playtime or future hiking trips, he’s ready to follow you anywhere.

Training & Potential:
Drako is a "work in progress" in the best way possible! He hasn't started leash training or housebreaking yet, so he’s looking for a patient adopter who is excited about puppy kindergarten and consistent rewards-based training.

If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic best friend who will grow with your family, Drako is your boy!
