Here's what the humans have to say about me:
IN SILVER SPRING, MD
Dakota is a gorgeous, goofy Aussiedoodle girl who loves to cuddle and play. She is 6 months old, 35 lbs, and currently living in Silver Spring, MD.
Dakota has a big, happy personality and will do well with someone who can pay lots of attention to her and explore outdoor space daily. She is brilliant with food motivation and has mastered sit, lay down, and stay. She is getting better at go potty, come, and leave it. She trained quickly to become calm on leash while exploring bustling urban neighborhoods. Off leash, she is silly and high energy and would be best with confident, calm leaders who have lots of time to exercise her outside and train her.
She is crate trained and loves puzzles to keep her curious mouth occupied. She will play fetch and tug of war with anyone at anytime. Dakota is incredibly friendly and would do well alone or with another friendly, high energy dog in the house.
While Dakota’s curiosity and excitement make her a bundle of fun, she needs strong direction to stay out of trouble. That being said, she should not go to a house with children under 12 or cats unless you are prepared to properly and patiently train her around them.
Dakota is current on vaccinations and her new family will need to continue with boosters, heartworm preventative, and tick medications.
There is an additional $50 spay deposit which will be refunded when proof of spay is provided.
