Well, hello there! I'm Dakota and I'm hoping to become part of your family! I am a young lady. I am about 1 year old, and I weigh 18 pounds! Did I mention that. I am also smart and pretty. Now, that's a combination!!!
I like people and other dogs. I live with little humans that are over 10 so I am not sure what the wee little ones are like so it might be best to keep an eye on me, so I don't tip one over and scare them.
I also really like food! I mean REALLLLLLY like food. I will need a slow feeder and eat in my own area, especially at first, if there are other fur siblings hanging around.
I should also let you in on the fact that sometimes I do not like to share my toys or treats. If I feel like someone might try to steal from me, I have been known to give a good stare down and lunge at them. I don't mean harm, but sharing is something I am learning how to do.
I am working on potty training. I am not allowed to just run all over the house which has helped. Hey, that's pretty good! I just need to know your schedule and we should be fine with bringing me fully up to speed. I don't mind my crate but have been known to let out a bark or two to let you know I am not thrilled with you leaving. I get over myself pretty quickly and stop.
I love LOVE. I will paw at you until I get what I want. You've been warned. All attention should be mine! I like to be held like a baby. There, I said what I said! I need some guidance on manners as I'm not sure the difference between right and wrong just yet.
I like a walk and do well on a leash. I like toys - tennis balls, bones- you name it. I LOVE WATER! My foster mom lets me float with her in the pool and take rides on boats. Of course, I need to have a life jacket on. They make cute ones now! Not like those bright orange ones that made us look like traffic cones our grandparents used to put on us.
I am a young girl with typical "young" energy but also like to cuddle. I probably need a yard to burn off some of this energy. Being home with someone would be great too (especially since I am in training for potty manners and general manners).
I would love to have my very own forever family! Please consider me if you think I would make the perfect fur baby for you. I promise to let you give me all the belly scratches you could ever want to give me!
