🌟 Meet Dakota! 🌟 This sweet boy’s journey has been a rollercoaster, and we’re here to ensure he lands firmly in a loving home. 🌈 Dakota was an owner surrender, and it breaks the heart to learn that for the first three years of his life, he lived outdoors—exposed to all the elements. 🌧️❄️🔥 No living soul should have to endure that! But fate has finally smiled upon him, and he’s now in our care, ready to discover what love and kindness truly mean. At around 3 years old and weighing in at about 50–55 pounds, Dakota is a gentle giant, with the cutest little legs and a big, lovable blockhead. 🐶❤️ He’s learning the ropes of indoor living, from cozy couches to snuggly beds, and he’s doing so with all the bravery one can muster! While Dakota doesn’t seem to mind other dogs, it’s important for any resident pups to meet him first. 🐕 He hasn’t met any cats yet, and because he’s still adjusting, affectionate older children who understand boundaries would be ideal. So what does Dakota need? It’s simple: a cozy couch where he can curl up, a warm bed to snuggle into, and a family that will show him just how lovely the world can be. 🛋️💖 After three long years of life outdoors, he deserves to experience the joy of a real home and family. Let’s give this wonderful boy the second chance he’s been waiting for! If you’re looking to foster or adopt Dakota, submit your application through the Buddy App. 🙌 A foster home would be a dream! It’ll allow him to learn about home life while we find his forever family. A team member will reach out within 24–48 hours of your application. Dakota has waited long enough, and together, let’s make the rest of his life everything he’s been longing for! 🌟💖
