Dakota is currently being cared for at the Valentine, NE city shelter. Dakota
was picked up as a stray suffering from severe Sarcoptic Mange. The poor girl
was undistinguishable breed-wise, it was so bad! Thankfully, it has healed up
and she is now starting to enjoy life again. Dakota is a high energy gal who
would be good with fun stuff such as agility, fly ball etc.; she really desires
a job to do. She is just full of happy energy! And she is just too cute! Dakota
needs some positive training to learn what is expected of her, but she would
likely be a quick learner. She is good with people, but has yet to be tested
with other dogs due to the severity of her mange. We will be working on that in
the future. We are unsure how she would do with cats. Dakota is up to date on
her shots, and will be spayed before her adoption. She is ready to head to her
forever home. Can you come rescue Dakota and give her the life she deserves?
UPDATE 3/15/08
We decided we would bring Dakota home with us for a few days, as the local
City Shelter is full. I am pleased to write that Dakota has even impressed my
husband! She has blended well with all of our other fosters and although very
curious about our rescued kitten "Boopka"; she is showing a healthy feline
respect.
Dakota is very high energy, so an active person or family would be perfect for
her. She is a friendly outgoing girl.
She crates well at night; but prefers not to be crated during the day-however
she will go in with a treat as an incentive. Initially there is a bit of
fussing; but she eventually does settle down. Housetraining is on the agenda-she
has had a couple of misses in that area. All in all, for a dog who has never
experienced a home environment, we have to give her an A+.
UPDATE 6/07/08
Dakota loves to play with the other dogs and even though she seems very
boisterous, I was pleased to see that she also respects another dogs' space. If
the dog does not want to play, gives Dakota a warning, Dakota stops her playful
advances. I enjoy and learn so much from simply observing. Dogs are such
interesting, intelligent creatures. We could learn much if only we take the
time... Dakota even has a sense of humor I believe. She can be such a free
spirited, goofy girl. When playing with another dog, she will turn her
head, look at me, as if to say "so what do you think I'm going to do next. Dare
you to guess!" Then she is off again with leaps and bounds. Gotta love a girl
after my own heart!
Please read about our "Adoption" process prior to filling out an application.
Dakota is UTD on shots, spayed, frontlined, heartworm tested
