Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. Birthdate is 3/1/17. Parents were purebred, but not papered. She's very friendly and loves walks as well as chasing the stick. She gets along with male dogs, but has some same sex issues with other females. She was fine for years, then started getting aggressive toward our other female dogs about age 6, and stayed living with my son while I moved to Arkansas. She has been with my son for 3 years, but he is moving out of state and can't take her. She is typical for her breed in being prey driven... she chases cats, birds & even raccoons if they are in her yard. She's also very snack & food xxxx@xxxx.x ally when it comes to training. She pulls on a leash, but again, breed imperative considering what they were bred for, but has never knocked me down or pulled me hard (I'm 5'2). She gets car sick with drives over 10-15 minutes.
