Description:

Meet Dakota!

Hi there, my name is Dakota. I am an owner surrender along with my son, Hoss. Our elderly mom could no longer take care of us. I am good with other dogs, cats and kids.

I am a very sweet guy and very friendly.

Update from foster home:
Dakota is quite a charmer and has loads of personality that has made us laugh several times. He is definitely a lap dog!

Dakota is a very loving dog, He is a lap dog when you watch TV and minds very well. He is great to go for walks and has to sniff every tree and mailbox along the way. He is a snuggler at night. He crawls under the covers down to your feet and then comes back up half way and sleeps alongside your legs. He is good to bathe but does not take well to getting his teeth brushed. I do not think his previous owner ever brushed his teeth so this may be a new experience he needs to adjust to. It takes two people to complete this task.

He is good to do his business outside. We do keep him kenneled when we are gone for work. We have a dog sitter who comes and lets him out every day while we are at work so he is not alone usually more than 4-5 hours at a time. He gets along great with our other 3 dogs and with the neighbor kids. He loves to play fetch with his stuffed toys and has not chewed at anything in the house except his stuffed toys. We have 3 dog of our own and they sometimes get into tug of war games playing which has taken its toll on a few of them

Dakota minds well, knows the word no and is a very loyal follower. He has bonded with me and follows me everywhere I go in the house and outside. He can beg too for minutes. If he begs at the dinner table we just say no and he sits back down but often you will see him begging just to be picked up. It is really a cute trait of his. When I work from home some days he will sit in my lap and fall asleep, If he is not in my lap he is curled up at my feet under the desk.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
