Dakota #14 Black Labrador Mix Male 2 Years Old

Meet Dakota! Dakota is a handsome 2 year old Labrador Mix that is looking for an adopter, or foster to adopt or foster to help move him North from Arkansas.

Life for this young boy has not been easy. He was found stray and underweight in a rural area in AR where dogs are routinely dumped and left to fend for themselves. He was taken into foster care by Monticello Second Chance Furdogs Rescue but loving, indoor homes are hard to find in that area and the rescue reached out to Brookline to help rehome this sweet boy.Dakota was heartworm positive when he was found but has gone through heartworm treatment and recently tested negative and is now ready to find his forever home.Dakota is good with dogs and cats and has been living inside of a home while in foster care in AR.

His current foster has 15+ dogs in her care ranging in age from puppies to older dogs, all different breeds and sizes.

Dakota will play chase with other dogs but tends to be independent and do his own thing and peacefully co-exists with them all.

He isn’t a fan of puppies getting too rowdy in his face, but is always ready for a puppy snuggle.Dakota loves being with his people and getting pets and settles well inside. He’s working on getting better with his initial “Hello” when his people get home from work. He just is so excited to see his peeps again so we are recommending 5+ year old children just strictly for knockdown factor while he learns how to properly greet his new family.  After the initial Hello, and some redirection with food, toys or just a bunch of loving, Dakota is calm and easy going and keeps close to his people.Dakota walks well on a leash and has done well with unknown dogs, though he did get excited to see them, on his visits to the vet. He is good around other dogs when it comes to meal time, and prefers to lay down to eat… Silly boy!
