The sweetest senior is waiting for you. Our pet of the week Draco is 8 years old and is ready to spend his time hanging out with you and enjoying the days with snuggles and snacks. After a nice stroll around the neighborhood you can argue over what to watch on TV while you enjoy the rest of your day together. Draco is a bit shy and timid at first, but warms up quickly once he sniffs you out and realizes that you’re his person. Come meet him today at Fulton County Animal Services located at 860 Marietta Blvd. NW in Atlanta.
