My story

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

I'm entering the Freedom Tails program and plan to graduate on July 3, 2024! pawsgh.org/freedomtails

This handsome young man is looking to hire a 24/7 belly scratcher! Dakota has the sweetest heart and the kindest eyes to match. He is still learning some basic manners, but overall, he is such a great companion already. He is a bit shy at times so new experiences take some patience but he is gaining confidence day by day. He has loved everyone that he has met thus far and enjoys going on walks. He CANNOT live in a home with kittens/cats but he loves to make new friends and play with other dogs in our play yard. Have you ever wanted to be able to talk to your dog? And have your dog answer you back?? Dakota loves to express his feelings and tell you what he's thinking! He is a very talkative dog at times so his future family would have to be okay with the occasional husky howl. Huskies are known for their talkative nature and using vocalizations to communicate and his husky side is not afraid to make an appearance when needed. But don't let that scare you away! He also loves to play with squeaky toys, play tug, or even just run around like a goof to get some puppy energy out. As long as he is getting some love and belly rubs he is happy, quiet, and quite content. Dakota is our youngest pup with so much joy and so much love to offer to anyone willing to be on the receiving end.

Fill out an application today and scratch that belly!

Meet Dakota: the energetic pip with a love for life. Dakota is a bundle of joy wrapped in white fur. At just 8 months old this playful pup is not just any ordinary dog. Dakota is a unique character with a zest for life that is as bright as the different colors of his eyes. Dakota's energy is boundless. Whether it's a game of fetch or playing with other dogs, Dakota is always on the move. His high energy is infectious and you can't help but feel uplifted in his presence. Dakota is also incredibly food driven which has made training sessions both run and rewarding. This pup has mastered the basic cues and comes house trained, making him ready to be a well mannered member of a family. Dakota has no problem getting along with other dogs, but this is not the case when it comes to chickens and cats. Dakota loves his belly rubbed. It’s a joy to see him interact with others showcasing friendly and sociable nature. But the trick that gets everyone talking is Dakota's favorite - playing dead with a dramatic flop and a tongue and cheek hair Dakota can perform this trick like a seasoned master. It’s a crowd pleaser and a testament to his intelligence and eagerness to please. One thing is certain, life with this pup is never dull.Please apply to adopt at: http://www.pawsgh.org

Additional adoption info

Spay/neuter + rabies is included in our adoption fee, but may not be completed by time of adoption due to our limited access to veterinary appointments. We have local partners listed in your adoption contract that you can schedule an appointment with (and are paid by us) or we will reimburse for up to $100 for non-network veterinarians.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our public hours are Tuesday - Saturday 11 am - 4pm. Dog meets may be also scheduled on Sunday and Monday by appointment only.
No appointment is needed to meet our cats during public hours.
Please note that appointments are highly recommended for dog meets due to limited staff availability, but we do accommodate walk-in visits whenever possible. Additionally, many of our dogs may be located off-site in foster homes and an appointment will be required to meet those pets. We do require a completed application prior to meeting pets in foster homes to preserve the valuable time of our foster families.

More about this shelter

PAWS finds new families for stray dogs and cats as well as owner surrendered pets. We also accept animals brought to us by concerned citizens and local animal control agencies and do our best to find them suitable homes. Our mission is to find homes and offer direct care for as many of these loveable pets as possible. PAWS attempts to prevent the birth of unwanted animals through education and spay/neuter programs.

PAWS of Grays Harbor is a strictly non-profit organization and we survive because of donations from our community. All of the animals we adopt out are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and treated for fleas. Sometimes, the animals we rescue require additional veterinary care. Without your donations, none of this would be possible. Thank you for your support, we couldn’t do it without you.
