Dragon, a large 90-pound puppy, is available for adoption from the Tri-Cities Animal Shelter in Washington. The dog was found as a 12-pound puppy with his littermates in Pasco and was quickly adopted, but ended up back at the shelter over a year later through no fault of his own. Dragon is still adjusting to shelter life, but his fun-loving personality shines when he's given the chance to play.

Why it matters

The Tri-Cities Animal Shelter is working to find a forever home for Dragon, who had a difficult start but is now ready for a loving family. Adopting shelter pets helps reduce overcrowding and provides animals in need with a second chance.

The details

Dragon is a large, 90-pound dog who can seem unsure in his kennel at first, but becomes playful and energetic when outside. He loves toys and playing fetch, and is responsive to treats, making him a good candidate for continued training and confidence-building. Dragon appears social toward other dogs, though his history of living with dogs is unknown. His history with cats is also unknown, so meet and greets are required for households with existing dogs before adoption. Dragon is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
