Drake

Drake is a handsome yellow lab around one year old in search of his forever family. He is looking for a special

family who will be very patient as he learns all the good things about being a pet. Drake came from a situation

where he lived outside with many other dogs in a hoarding situation. He did not receive vet care or any real socialization with

humans. Due to these conditions he is a shy boy and still adjusting to the big world outside of the fenced area

in his previous life.



Drake is very sweet and gentle, and slowly beginning to enjoy human contact. Once inside

his foster home and out of the cold Drake discovered it is better to be inside. He loves the many dog beds

available to him now, and has tried out the human beds too. Foster Mom reports that Drake is a very smart

boy and he catches on to the routines quickly. He goes out to the fenced yard for potty breaks on schedule,

and has had zero

accidents inside the house! He will head to his crate for meal times , and follows the pack to

the bedroom every night to sleep. Drake has shown no aggressive behavior towards any dogs, but he is timid

around them at first. There was some fighting among the dogs in his previous life which has made Drake very

cautious around dominant dogs

. He would do best in a home with a friendly canine companion or two to help build his confidence.



A f

airly quiet and low key home would suit him best as Drake tends to seek out quiet, low traffic areas of his

foster home to be his safe space. Drake is easily startled by unexpected sounds and quick movements, so he

would not be a great fit for a home with small children. And no cats please as he learned to chase small

animals in his previous life living outside. A securely fenced yard will be a must as Drake learns to be more

comfortable walking on leash.



Drake's biggest need is a patient family willing to allow him the time he needs

to feel confident and secure. We would love to have him work on this in his forever home to start bonding with

his people. Drake's foster mom will be available to help adopters with any questions while Drake adjusts to a

new home. If this gentle soul seems like a fit for you, please apply at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org
