Meet Dakota, or as his friends call him, Kota! 🐾 This big, handsome boy had a rocky start to his life, being left at a truck stop with two other pups. But look at him now! At just 9 months old and weighing in at around 30 pounds, he's ready to find his forever home and steal your heart. 💖 Now, let’s talk about his charm! Kota seems to have some shepherd or husky in him, giving him that wonderfully playful spirit! He’s already neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all his vaccinations—talk about a catch! 🎉 He adores his foster dog sister and feels most at home with another dog by his side. They spend hours playing together, and if you think about adopting him, having another furry friend in your home will be a plus! 🐕💕 Kota is quite the character. He loves toys (especially stuffies) and has a knack for turning playtime into a laughter fest! He’s learning to enjoy car rides and now sits up tall, taking in all the sights. And when it comes to affection? This sweetheart is a pro! He loves giving kisses and snuggling up next to his humans. 🥰 Now, let’s clear the air a bit: while Kota is a bundle of joy, it might be best if there aren’t any cats in the home. He’s shown a penchant for chasing them, which may not make for a harmonious household! He’s had a few accidents inside—hey, that’s just part of the puppy life—but when he’s outside, he knows exactly where to do his business. 🌳💩 Although he gets a bit nervous with the leash, he’s been making progress and he’s been eager to learn! This bright boy listens well, and it's clear he has great potential to become the ultimate companion! Whatever home he ends up in, it’s going to be blessed with his love and loyalty. Dakota is simply bursting with personality, and he deserves all the love he can get! Remember, folks: if you feel that warmth in your heart, it’s because you’re meant to be part of his journey!
