About Dakota JuM

Dakota JuM is a remarkably handsome boy with a blend of rugged charm and refined sweetness. He thrives on playtime, running around with his furry pals, yet knows how to settle down at your feet, lovingly seeking your attention. He has a playful spirit that comes out when he’s outside, where he might engage in some very light mischief, like gently digging at times to get your notice. Getting fetch down is a work in progress, but Dakota is eager to learn. A food lover, he takes his meals from a slow feeder bowl to savor every bite. He's fully house trained and does well in a crate, making him an easy addition to any home. With his loyal Akita and Anatolian Shepherd background, Dakota's bond will grow unbreakable once you become his family. Just a heads up: Dakota does have a strong prey drive, so no small furry friends like cats in his future. But he’s fantastic with dogs and gentle with older children, ready to share a life filled with adventure and love. Local adoption fee is $300, and for those out of state, it’s $550, which covers transport to your area.
