Click apply to start the adoption process. Dakota is a sweet-natured Australian Shepherd who gets along wonderfully with other dogs! He absolutely loves his toys, delights in playing with his pack mates, and walks beautifully on a leash. Dakota is always up for a cuddle after a fun play session and enjoys gently accepting treats. Although he may be a bit shy when meeting new people, he warms up quickly and shows his affectionate side soon after. For Dakota to truly thrive, he needs an attached private yard with plenty of space to run and play, and would be happiest sharing his home with at least one dog friend of similar size and energy. He is poised to be a spectacular companion and beloved family member. Dakota's adoption is available in the Phoenix metro area to ensure proximity to the rescue and their veterinarian. All adoptions start with a Foster-To-Adopt period for the best possible fit. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
