Dakota is a gentle soul with a heartwarming story. Rescued from a dangerous situation, she has overcome adversity and is blossoming into a lovely companion. Despite some remnants of her past, like a few bare patches, she’s a testament to resilience. This cuddly puppy is a delightful mix of calmness and playful spirit. At just four months old and around 20 pounds, she’s expected to grow into a medium-sized dog. Dakota is kennel trained, and she sleeps through the night like a champ. She's already learning basic commands like sit and kennel with ease. When going outside for potty breaks, she’ll scratch at the door when she’s ready to come in, showing her growing independence. Her affectionate nature shines, especially when she warms up to new people, often leaning against you for attention. She’s great with kids, having enjoyed playtime with a 7 and 5 year old in her foster family. Just a warning: she tends to steal toys! Though she is still a bit shy at the groomers, she handles nail trims well and tolerates bath time, especially when the water is warm. Dakota thrives in an environment where she can continue learning and playing, ideally in a home without a senior dog. If you’re seeking a loving dog that is eager to be part of the family, Dakota might be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
