About Drako (Labrador retriever) in San Diego

Drako is waiting for you at Labradors and Friends Dog Rescue Group in San Diego, CA 92108. Forever Home Wanted…. Meet Drako!!!! Hi, my name is Drako. But my foster Mom calls me D. I’ve been a part of the most awesome rescue here for approximately two years. The last 13 months, I’ve been blessed to spend in a foster home with one of the coolest foster brothers with four legs.

I love my crate to sleep, relax and to chew toys and bones throughout the day and night. I love to be near my foster Mom while she works. She lets me in her office so I can help her when she gets stressed at her job. I have a big back yard to play in too. But I don’t like to go out there all by myself. There are a bunch of birds, butterflies and other stuff that always fly around, and I get nervous. But if my foster Mom takes me out in the yard, I’ll be ok.
