My story

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

Dog Name: Dakota



Age: 2 years old (as of 6/05/23)



Gender: Female



Weight: 29 kgs / 64 lbs.



Breed: German Shepard



Spayed/Neutered? Yes



Vaccinated? Yes 



HeartWorm Negative?  Yes



Good with dogs? Yes



Good with kids? Yes



Good with cats? She was around cats when she was rescued. Caution with proper introduction required.



Has experience on a leash?  Yes



Potty trained? Yes, clean in her area at her foster facility. Will adjust rapidly to new house rules



Crate trained? No



Where does the dog stay when it is alone? At the moment she has to share her space with other dogs at an outdoor boarding facility. Dakota doesn’t have her own space, but she is an independent dog that allows herself to be apart from the pack.



Where does the dog sleep? At the moment she has to share her space with other dogs as her foster has other rescues at the boarding facility. 



Temperament/Personality: Dakota is an adorable girl who radiates love and happiness. Her joy comes to life when playing with other dogs and with her human. She's a natural explorer, brimming with energy, and she gets excited as she races around the garden at full speed. Of course, she also happily indulges in sweet naps. She's passionate about walks and treats, delighting in affectionate moments and belly rubs. Her charm extends to excellent relationships with both other dogs and children. Dakota is learning to walk on a leash and do her business in the right place.



What does the dog's ideal home look like? Her ideal home would be a family that loves to do outdoor activities since she is energertic and loves to explore, play and run but can also adjust to a low-key home environment as she enjoys to be by her humans side.



What is the dog's rescue story? The charming Dakota has overcome a challenging start, with ropes knotted around her neck and a significant weight loss, reflecting a history of mistreatment on the tough streets of Guadalajara México. Although we don't know precisely how long she endured this situation, it's evident that she suffered a great deal. However, one day, her life took an extraordinary turn when she was rescued by her guardian angel. With patience and love, Dakota regained confidence in herself and in people. Now, she enjoys days filled with joy and fun.



Intelligent and observant, Dakota yearns to find an active family to share exciting adventures. Are you ready to give this lovely girl a second chance?



Dakota is waiting in Mexico until a family is commited to fostering her or taking her on a trial. If you are interested, apply at www.northwestwagrescue.org his adoption fee is $550
