Dakota's Story

Dakota is a shy, gentle young pup who’s still learning that the world and people can be kind. She may be timid when you first meet her, but with patience and a calm approach, she blossoms into a sweet, affectionate, and quietly devoted companion. Dakota thrives in a peaceful, consistent home where she can move at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she’ll reward you with soft tail wags, gentle affection, and the kind of trust that feels truly special. She’s mellow by nature and enjoys cozy spaces, quiet companionship, and tagging along for low-key activities. She would do best in a home without cats or young children and with someone who is home often, as she doesn’t enjoy being alone for long periods. Dakota isn’t looking for chaos, just patience, kindness, and a person willing to let her heart unfold in its own time. If you believe in second chances and the beauty of earning a shy dog’s trust, Dakota may be your perfect match. Est DOB 8/18/24
