🌟 Meet Dakota! This 7-month-old, 33.4-pound German Shepherd mix is a sparkling gem waiting to fill your life with joy! 🎉 This sweet girl is a delightful concoction of affection and playful puppy energy that will melt your heart. After spending five months in a loving foster home, Dakota is ready to find her forever family! This adorable girl thrives on companionship! 🥰 She absolutely adores snuggling up for some cuddle time, receiving ear scratches that make her wiggle with delight, and engaging in playful antics with her human friends. Dakota is no couch potato; she’s a certified play enthusiast! 🥳 Despite her petite size, she plays hard and enjoys romping around with other high-energy pups. And let’s not forget her vast collection of toys — she’s a fan of everything from squeaky squeakers to fluffy plushies! 🎾 While Dakota might be a bit shy when meeting newcomers, her winning personality shines through once she’s given the chance to feel safe. 🌈 She’s nearly house-trained but will require a patient owner to help her cross the finish line! Because of her vivacious puppy energy, she will truly thrive in a family environment committed to teaching her basic manners and skills. And here’s a fun twist: she previously lived with a cat and enjoyed their playful banter, even if she was a little cheeky! 😸 Dakota is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccines. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion to brighten your home, look no further than Dakota! 🌼 Please remember, potential adopters must apply through the Buddy App to bring this affectionate little lady into their lives. Don’t wait! 💖 You can check her out in person at The Babinski Foundation Animal Shelter, but remember to meet and adopt her in person — she can't wait to meet you!
