About Dakota

Dakota and her sister Ruby have faced significant challenges in their past, escaping an unsanitary living situation together. While Ruby has shown interest in cats, Dakota has remained distant, making it clear that a feline-free home is ideal for her. She generally gets along with Ruby but can be slightly reactive around unfamiliar dogs. With patience and gradual introductions, there’s a chance Dakota could warm up to other dogs. This affectionate and sweet girl truly flourishes with people and would be best suited as the only pet in a household. Dakota has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm, all included in her adoption fee. For those interested, she requires an in-person meet and greet at the shelter during open hours, which are 12-4, but closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
