Say hello to Dakota, a one-year-old spayed female hound mix with a medium-length coat in striking black and chocolate brown. Weighing in as a solid, medium-sized dog, Dakota was found wandering as a stray in New Milford, but her spirit hasn’t dimmed a bit. She loves spending time in the yard, taking walks with shelter volunteers, and enjoys outings around town—her joyful energy catches on quickly. Dakota thrives on interaction and is eager to please, though she could use some work with basic obedience and leash manners. She’s suited to a home with older children, but does not get along with other dogs, so she needs to be the only canine in the house. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
