My name is Dakota!

I originally adopted Dakota when she was about 3 months old from another family who had other furry friends and couldn’t keep her as well. She is currently 1 (almost 2 in January) and is maturing beautifully!

Dakota is such a sweet and lovable girl who is very energetic, extremely active, highly intelligent and trainable, enjoys learning new tricks, and never ceases to amaze me with what she naturally picks up on. When she isn’t playing or is bored, she follows me everywhere, learning my routine and naturally shifting her behavior accordingly.

She doesn’t have many behavioral issues, but can get a bit “chew happy” if left without enrichment or attention. I’ve been incorporating enrichment toys and licking mats into her routine. which has helped. However, considering her long-term development, I wanted to ensure the enrichment activities were conducive to her breed’s tendencies and activity level. Hopefully, rehoming her can provide her with that more sustainable solution.
