About Dakota

Dakota just arrived from a partner shelter and is settling in with us. Being new, we’re still getting to know her, and our team will update her bio as we learn about her personality and preferences. She is currently pending interactions with other animals until cleared by our vet. We're unsure of her house or crate training at this point, so patience will be key as she adjusts. If you're interested in adopting Dakota, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. Our process operates on a first-come, best-match basis, and we can’t hold animals. We recommend bringing all family members, including children and other pets, to ensure everyone gets along. If all goes well, we encourage same-day adoptions! The adoption fee covers her spay, microchip, vaccinations, preventive care, and a starter bag of food. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
