About Dakota

Dakota is a delightful mix of Scottish Terrier and Cocker Spaniel. This charming girl loves people and greets visitors as if they were family members. She plays well with other dogs and enjoys making friends with cats. Gentle around kids, Dakota especially loves her walks. While she's both blind and nearly deaf, she takes joy in the outdoor smells and gentle breezes, confidently trotting along, as if she can see. Anyone can walk her once they learn the signals to use with her leash, which her foster parent can easily teach. At about 13 years old, Dakota is still lively and healthy, though she enjoys a good nap. She’s a quiet companion but can adapt to a lively home. Dakota thrives on stimulation and needs her daily walks. Outgoing and affectionate, she’s ready to bring joy to her forever home. Dakota was surrendered due to her owner's illness. Please consider welcoming this lovely dog with such a wonderful spirit into your life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
