Let me introduce myself, I'm Lakota, Kota for short, and I am looking for a family to call my own. My foster family picked me up in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Oklahoma. My previous owner lived in a camper and figured out quickly that I was going to be way too big for that lifestyle and was giving me away. My foster mom has a soft spot for GSD's and brought me to her house in Texas, it was a great ride, I love car rides! I am still a puppy, be it a big one, so I am still learning what's ok for me to chew on and play with. I live with 2 other dogs and a few cats in my foster house. I probably shouldn't go to a house with cats because I like to chase them, I don't want to hurt them I'm just playing with them but they don't exactly like playing with me, go figure CATS! I am still learning about the big, wide world and sometimes can be afraid of new things but usually get over it quickly. I am housetrained and will let you know when I need to go out. I will require a family that will work with me to become the best dog that I can be. Do I sound like the perfect puppy for you? If you would like to meet me please reach out to my friends at habitat4paws.org and ask about me.
**Because we require home visits, we only adopt locally to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. For more on adoption policies, please see the How it Works page of our website, www.habitat4paws.org.

Home Check
We require a home visit. If all is good and everyone is in agreement, we will leave the pet for a 5 day home trial.

Pay Fee
After a successful home trail, we ask to finalize the paperwork and pay the adoption fee.
Additional adoption info
FEES:
Dogs are $250
Puppies under 1 year are $275
Cats and kittens are $185
All animals have been spayed/neutered, received age appropriate vaccinations, had a heart-worm test, a Feline Leukemia test and a fecal check and are dewormed, microchipped and current on heart-worm and flea preventative medications at the time of adoption.
Adopters must be 21 and have a valid Texas driver’s license or a state-issued ID that matches the home address. If new to the area, a utility bill in the name of adopter will suffice. Renters must present proof of pet deposit or landlord approval to have a pet.
We require that you visit with a pet and adoption counselor. We prefer that all family members be present when the pet is introduced to its potential new family. Current pets are welcomed and encouraged to be part of the meeting too.
If a good match is found, adopters complete an application. Same day adoptions may be done; however, Habitat 4 Paws reserves the right to request a home visit prior to adoption. We do not hold pets nor do we adopt on a first-come/first-serve basis.

More about this rescue
The mission of H4P is to rescue and find permanent homes for dogs and cats while caring for them in a volunteer-staffed facility and foster program. We are currently raising funds for a building and in the interim are a foster based group.
Beyond just sheltering animals, we are proactive in other areas that will help keep animals out of municipal shelters. Paws Pantry animal-food bank collects and distributes dog and cat food to those in need. H4P hosts microchip clinics so that animals will have a permanent ID and can be reunited with their owners.
