My story

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

Dakota: 3 yr old black & tan male, neutered, natural ears and tail, 12" tall, 10.5 lb. 99% Housetrained
Dakota is a sweet loving little boy who just wants to please. You won't find a more loyal companion and a better snuggle buddy than Dakota. He can be shy at first but soon warms up to you and will follow you around the house like a shadow. Dakota wants nothing more than to play with his toys (he likes to shake the life out of them) and be your permanent lap warmer. He is always the first one in bed at night and waits for you to get under the covers with him and snuggle. Dakota has a lot of energy so a fenced in backyard where he can run around would be preferred but when he comes in he wants to curl up next to you and give you lots and lots of kisses. Dakota loves to dance around on his hind legs through the house and will keep you laughing with his silly little antics. His favorite place in the house is when you are on the computer; he loves to squeeze in behind you on the chair and curl up for a nap. Dakota is not recommended for small children as he is full of min pin energy and will try to dart out the door when it is opened. We also recommend Dakota for a female only home due to his level of fear towards men. Dakota is very loving and will make a forever companion for whoever is lucky enough to have him. Could you be that special person?

Notes from foster mom: Dakota is bragging a little too much. He needs to learn house manners but he is right about being a charmer. One look at those sweet, gentle eyes and you have to scoop him up and give him kisses. He is a very nice, loving dog but has one issue; he is scared of men. There must have been some past trauma so we are working on positive associations. Due to his young age we expect him to learn quickly to love all people. Dakota will make some family a nice pet. He will thrive in a home with lots of love and attention.
