My story

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

Hi there, I'm Dakota. I'm a pretty independent lady, I can entertain myself with toys or just a good old-fashioned nap. But don't get me wrong, I'm also very sweet. I love a good belly rub and some quiet time with my human friends. I've been told I have a calming presence, maybe it's my gentle spirit. I'm a good listener too, so if you've had a long day and need to vent, I'm here. I'm not the type to judge, I just offer silent support. Life in a shelter isn't too bad, but I dream of a home. A place where I can stretch out, maybe have a yard to explore. A family to love. I'd make a great addition to any home, I'm low maintenance and full of love. So, how about it? Could you be my forever home?
