About Dakota JuM

Dakota JuM has a name that suggests a rugged spirit, and he embodies that refined ruggedness well. This playful guy enjoys running around with his doggy friends yet knows how to lounge sweetly at your feet when he craves attention. He’s a bit playful with the garden, too, acting like a reverse planter to get your focus when he’s outside and alone. With his love of food and toys, Dakota enjoys mealtime from a slow feeder to savor his meals rather than gobbling them down. His training is going well—he's even learning to fetch and bring the ball back! While Dakota is fully house-trained and crate-trained, he does have a notable prey drive. So no small furry friends around him, please. He’s ready to bond deeply with a family who will cherish his loyalty, and with your love, he will truly shine. The adoption fee is $300 for local adopters in Texas and $550 if you’re out of state, including transport to your area. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
