Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
IDGSR Welcomes DAKOTA into the safety of the rescue!!
THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN MASSACHUSETTS
**************
Hi there! My name is Dakota and I am VERY handsome. I’m a German Shepherd - Labrador mix with the beautiful black and tan Shepherd coloring but have extra cute floppy ears.
I’ll be 6 years old on September 1 and I am SUPER well behaved!! No puppy nonsense with me! I’m fully housebroken and crate trained, and I know a whole bunch of words like sit, down, lay down, come, in, out, wait, no, OK, paw, eat, off, treat, drink, water, go see (what’s outside), let me see you (when mom wants to check me over), let’s go and back (that’s a hard one!). So I’m super smart, listen well and am VERY well behaved. You’re not gonna find a smarter dog than me!
On top of ALL that, I’m friendly with people, dogs and even cats! Well, I’m really indifferent to the cats. I’d rather play with my people and dogs. I love to go on adventures, play tug, and go anywhere and everywhere you go. I’m very loyal and loving.
So if you don’t want to deal with all that puppy nonsense and are looking for a VERY handsome gentleman who listens well, is loving and friendly to everyone, then I’m your guy!!!
