ADOPTED

Dakota is a handsome, red dog, with medium-length fur. He weighs about 70 pounds and is well proportioned and strong for his size. Many people comment on his good looks. He is a high-energy guy, especially considering his age; only one of our other foster dogs has had more energy.

He has a wonderful personality. He is always happy, his tail never stops wagging, he is curious about everything, and vitally aware. He is a bit over 5 years old but acts more like a puppy than an adult dog and most people think he is only a year or so old. He is also unusually stable; nothing fazes him. Dakota is people oriented, great with children, and enjoys attention even from total strangers. He loves attention and follows us everywhere around the house. He sleeps in our bedroom on the floor, quietly and through the night -- although his definition of morning is sometimes different
from ours!

Dakota is excellent in the house! He has no destructive behaviors (well, he did shred one roll of toilet paper) and there have been no "accidents", not even on the first day. He stays off furniture and does not counter-surf.

Dakota has integrated beautifully into our family. He is a sweet and loving boy who fills the house with his enthusiasm and energy. We will really miss him when he goes to his forever home.
