About Dakota

Meet Dakota, a delightful cattle dog looking for her forever home! At just 3 years old, this energetic girl is a bundle of joy, eager to walk and play. Dakota gets along well with her former housemates, especially her buddy Papaw Wyatt, so you can expect her to be a great companion. Though she can be a bit jumpy on the leash, a little consistent training will set her straight in no time. Dakota has charmed both the staff and volunteers here, and we can’t understand why this sweet girl hasn't found her family yet. If you have the time and are looking to add a playful friend to your life, Dakota would love to meet you! We recommend a meet-and-greet with any children to ensure a perfect match. Unfortunately, we don’t know how she gets along with cats, but her friendly nature suggests she might be just fine. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
