My story

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

My Requirements:
-No cats
-Kids 5+

Hi, I'm Dakota and I'm so happy to meet you! I'm an energetic yellow lab mix who loves people and other dogs. I'm exactly what you think of when you picture a lab- smart, extroverted and goofy. My energy level is puppy and since I'm a lab, I'm going to be puppy-like for a while. I'm always up for playing tug, chase or going for a long walk. I already know how to sit and down, and since I'm food motivated, training should be fun for everyone. My new home can have other dogs, but it can't have cats. I can live with kids, but I might be too much for those 5 and under. If you've been looking for a fun new friend, you've found her!
