My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Dakota!

The sweetest 8-year-old Vizsla/Pitbull Mix, weighing in at 60 pounds in San Diego, CA she's willing to travel to find her forever family! With a heart full of love and a zest for life, Dakota is a remarkable companion with a wide array of interests and endearing qualities!

Dakota's playful spirit shines through as she enjoys the simple pleasures of life. She has a deep affection for balls, chew toys, and leisurely walks. Her obedience is impressive, knowing basic commands, and her well-behaved demeanor is a testament to her gentle nature.

Dakota's favorite pastime is snuggling up next to her beloved humans, offering warmth and companionship! When it comes to the company of other dogs, Dakota thrives, making her an ideal addition to a multi-dog household. She's amiable and sociable, embracing the camaraderie of her furry companions. However, her high prey drive rules out living with cats, as her instincts may lead to discomfort for all parties involved.

Dakota's independence allows her to be content when left alone, but she may become anxious during bad weather or fireworks. Her resilience is remarkable, as she doesn't let a bit of arthritis hold her back, maintaining a youthful spirit and zest for life, even if she occasionally requires a bit of rest.

Visitors and children are greeted with a warm and friendly disposition, demonstrating Dakota's welcoming nature! She walks exceptionally well on a leash, staying close to your side until a tempting scent catches her attention, adding a sense of adventure to your daily outings.

Whether you're embarking on a camping adventure, taking in the beach's beauty, or enjoying a quiet evening at home, Dakota is ready to add joy and companionship to your life. With her captivating personality and a heart full of love, she's the ideal furry friend to create unforgettable memories and cherished moments!

Also, Dakota is open to a long-distance adoption—love knows no distance when finding your perfect companion!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets. Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form and provide an adoption donation so that we can continue to save more animals every day and unite them with families just like yours.
