Dear New Fam, Hi, my name is Dakota! I am a 3-year-old mixed breed with a gentle heart and a sweet personality. I am spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, and I am definitely ready to find a family to call my own. I can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but I warm up quickly and become a very affectionate and loyal companion. Not to toot my own horn, but I am a really smart girl who enjoys spending time with my people and learning new things. I love other dogs, and I am kid-friendly, making me a wonderful addition to many types of households. With a little patience while I settle in, I will blossom into a loving and devoted dog. I will do best in a home that can give me the stability and kindness I deserve while allowing my confidence to continue to grow. I have been with the same family my whole life, so I just need time to get to know you. I am ready for my next chapter and would love to meet the family who will give me the forever home I have been waiting for. Love, Dakota
