About Dakota

Dakota is a young female Wirehaired Terrier who has just arrived from a high-intake shelter. While her full background is still being discovered, she is eager to find her forever home. Our team is working to get to know her better, and updates will follow as we learn more. Although she is awaiting vet clearance for interactions with other animals, Dakota is spayed and her vaccinations are up to date. If you're considering adding Dakota to your family, be sure to fill out an adoption questionnaire. The adoption process is first-come, best-match, so we can't hold animals. All household members, including children and other dogs, should come to meet Dakota to ensure a good fit. If all goes well, same-day adoptions are encouraged! Dakota's adoption fee of $275 covers her spay, microchip, vaccinations, and a small bag of food to start. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
