DAKOTA's Story

🐾 Senior. Brilliant. Loyal. Waiting. 🐾<br/>This absolutely stunning 10-year-old German Shepherd boy named Dakota came to us under heartbreaking circumstances — his beloved owner passed away, and now he’s left trying to understand why his whole world changed. 💔<br/>But let me tell you… this boy is something special.<br/>He is incredible. Brilliant. Sweet. Attentive. And in excellent health for his age. Don’t let the “senior” label fool you — he still has plenty of life, love, and loyalty left to give.<br/>He is very food motivated (training opportunities galore! 🍖), eager to please, and extremely observant. Honestly, we would not be surprised if he had some sort of police background — every time we walk him past a vehicle, he instinctively circles it and gives it a thorough sniff like he’s working a case. 🚔🐕 He’s sharp as a tack and loves having a job to do.<br/>More than anything, though, he just needs a home. A soft place to land. A person to bond with. A quiet, loving environment where he can spend his golden years feeling safe and cherished again.<br/>He has already lost so much. Let’s not let him lose his chance at a second chapter. ❤️<br/>If you’ve ever loved a Shepherd, you know — their loyalty is unmatched. This boy will give his whole heart to the person who gives him a chance.<br/><br/>📍 Waverly Animal Shelter<br/>📧 hchumanesociety2012@gmail.com<br/>📞 931-296-7319<br/>108 Young Rd, Waverly, TN 37185<br/>If unable to reach during shelter hours, please contact:<br/>📞 Jennifer Crossett 253-209-4925<br/>⏰ Shelter Hours:<br/>Mon & Fri: 8am–4:30pm<br/>Tue–Thu: 8am–1:00pm
