About Dakota

Dakota is a delightful 3-4 month old Jack Russell Terrier mix who arrived from a local overcrowded shelter. At just 4 lbs, he's full of playful energy and has quickly warmed up in his foster care environment. Though he'll likely grow to be between 8-15 lbs as an adult, he's already showing a friendly demeanor, getting along well with both dogs and children. He's neutered and up to date on vaccinations, so he's ready to join a loving forever home. It's important to note that we don’t adopt on a first come, first serve basis, and there is no fee to apply. Whether a dog is fully house-trained can vary in new surroundings, but Dakota is eager to learn and settle in with the right family. Wags and Whiskers, the all-volunteer rescue, encourages you to take your time with inquiries — we appreciate your patience. You could be the one to give Dakota the forever home he deserves.
