Story
FOSTER OR FOSTER TO ADOPTMeet Lakota Our Calm, Confident Teddy Bear Lakota is a breathtaking 34 year old spitz-type beauty weighing 48 pounds though with all that magnificent fluff, she looks much bigger! With her plush cream coat, dark mask, and curled plume tail, she has the striking look of an Akita, but her size suggests shes likely mixed with another spitz breed, possibly something like a Keeshond. Whatever her mix may be, Lakota is simply stunning.But what truly sets her apart isnt just her looks its her temperament.Lakota is calm, steady, and completely unbothered by the chaos around her. Other dogs barking? She doesnt care. New environment? Nothing phases her. She carries herself with quiet confidence and a gentle presence that makes you instantly relax. Volunteers describe her as beautiful and very calm, extremely gentle she takes treats politely., confident and mellow and excellent on leash with no pullingShe moves through the world like she owns it in the best way. Because of her composed and easygoing nature, we think she could even shine at public events or outings. She truly takes everything in stride. After spending time with her, weve decided she may look like a guardian wolf but shes actually a teddy bear. Why Foster or Foster-to-Adopt?Lakota came to Canine Collective from a high-intake shelter in Texas, where heartworm disease is unfortunately common. As part of our routine testing, we learned that she is heartworm positive. The good news? Heartworm is treatable and not contagious its transmitted only through mosquito bites. Canine Collective will cover the full cost of her treatment, which includes three veterinary visits over approximately four months. During that time, Lakota simply needs a calm home where she can stay comfortable and keep her activity level moderate while she heals. Given her naturally mellow personality, she may be one of the easiest heartworm fosters around.We are looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt home willing to help her through this temporary chapter. And if, once shes completed treatment, you realize you cant imagine life without your very own teddy bear? We would be absolutely delighted to make it official. Lakota would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a steady, balanced companion with both presence and softness. Shes the kind of dog who doesnt demand attention she simply earns it.If youre looking for a beautiful, calm companion with a soft heart under all that fluff, Lakota may be your girl.

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
