Description:

HEADLINER:

Dakota is an adorable, sweet, loving giant. She loves to cozy-up with family members so she would do best in a family with adults and older children.

HISTORY:

Dakota is a 5+ year old, spade, female, English Mastiff. Current on all shots. She does have a history of allergies and CCL surgery. Raised in one home, around older children and adults. Has not lived with any other pets but has often played with family-member dogs and dogs at daycare.

PERSONALITY:

Dakota loves attention and enjoys sitting on laps like she is a small dog. Her favorite treats are fruits and veggies, even frozen ones. She loves squeaky toys but must be the indestructible types (Joy Hound Rip Roarin’ Tough Toys - For Large Breed Dogs). She loves belly rubs and playing in the snow.

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES:

Eating, lap sitting, short walks, going to daycare, and loves a good nap when things are quiet

MEDICAL ISSUES:

Allergies (Eats Royal Canin PR and takes apoquel); CCL Surgery (Left Hind Leg).

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME:

Dakota would thrive in a single pet home or a home where she can be acclimated to a larger breed dog. She is used to being around teenagers and adults but does well around children when supervised.
