COURTESY POST <br/><br/>Hi… I’m Dakota.<br/>I’m 2 years old, 40 lbs, and as the holidays draw near, I can’t help but imagine what it must feel like to finally belong. To curl up in a warm home that’s mine, to fall asleep knowing I’m truly wanted, and to wake up to the sound of my family starting their day.<br/><br/>That’s my one and only wish this season — a place where I’m loved, chosen, and never left behind again.<br/><br/>Here’s who I am, from my heart to yours:<br/><br/>I’m tender and loyal — the kind of girl who rests her head on your knee just to show you you’re my whole world.<br/><br/>I love the beach, the park, and anywhere dogs are allowed. If you’re going, I’m already by the door. If you need to leave me home, that's fine — I’ll rest up until you come back.<br/><br/>I get along great with other dogs, and I’m gentle with kids and even cats — I fit in quietly and easily.<br/><br/>I’m playful, goofy, and full of light… but at night, I melt right into snuggles and calm couch time like I’ve been yours forever.<br/><br/>I listen well, come when called, and learn fast — I try so hard to make my humans proud.<br/><br/>I’m crate trained, though I don’t need it much anymore. I’ve learned how to be respectful and easy inside the home.<br/><br/>And yes… I take my bug-catching duties very seriously. A girl has skills.<br/><br/>I don’t wish for toys or treats — just a family who sees me, chooses me, and loves me for the sweet, loyal soul I am.<br/><br/>If your heart has space for one more this holiday season…<br/>maybe mine is the heart that’s been waiting for you.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Dakota<br/><br/>Long Road Home Rescue <br/>Adoption Application Link <br/>https://form.jotform.com/250685583072159

Hi… I’m Dakota.
I’m 2 years old, 40 lbs, and as the holidays draw near, I can’t help but imagine what it must feel like to finally belong. To curl up in a warm home that’s mine, to fall asleep knowing I’m truly wanted, and to wake up to the sound of my family starting their day.

That’s my one and only wish this season — a place where I’m loved, chosen, and never left behind again.

Here’s who I am, from my heart to yours:

I’m tender and loyal — the kind of girl who rests her head on your knee just to show you you’re my whole world.

I love the beach, the park, and anywhere dogs are allowed. If you’re going, I’m already by the door. If you need to leave me home, that's fine — I’ll rest up until you come back.

I get along great with other dogs, and I’m gentle with kids and even cats — I fit in quietly and easily.

I’m playful, goofy, and full of light… but at night, I melt right into snuggles and calm couch time like I’ve been yours forever.
