Every dog deserves a second chance, but not every dog gets one. In the bustling corridors of an animal shelter in Prince George’s County, a dog named Drake faced the harsh realities of his uncertain future. His previous owner had to let him go, possibly because it was too expensive to keep him. Despite his friendly face and strong body, being a pit bull meant Drake was not allowed to be adopted in his own county. This is the beginning of Drake’s journey from uncertainty to finding a place he could finally call home.

Finding A Home

Luckily, a rescue group noticed Drake and saved him from a grim fate. They took him in, hoping to find him a temporary home. Unfortunately, the first foster home didn’t work out because of the foster’s health issues, and after being adopted for a short three weeks, Drake was returned again. It seemed like he might never find a stable home.

Then, Alona and her family stepped in. They had a baby, another dog, and a big heart. They carefully introduced Drake to their home, making sure he felt safe and loved. They kept him apart from the baby and their other dog at first, to give him time to adjust. Drake soon became a cherished member of the family, showing a special fondness for the baby and forming a playful bond.

Forever Home

The baby would drop food from her high chair, and Drake was always there to catch it. This cute routine showed how well Drake was settling in. He also got along wonderfully with the family’s older dog, Honey Pie, learning from her and enjoying their time together.

Drake’s story is a powerful reminder not to judge by first appearances. Initially, people might have seen him as just another big, tough dog, but to Alona’s family, he was a gentle giant, full of love and in need of a family. They saw the true Drake, who just wanted to be close to those he loved.

Despite the challenges of having a full house, Alona and her family are determined to keep helping dogs like Drake. They are looking for the perfect forever home for him, where he can continue to be loved as much as he deserves.
