From her foster:
Remember Dakota? She is a 9ish month old, 70 lbs, shepherdish girl who is back and looking for a home.
She was in a great home who did a lot of work with her but it wasn’t working out. What we’ve learned about her along the way:
🐾 does great with medium/large/XL dogs, but is too big/rough for small dogs. In fact she would do best with a large playmate who is confident with people and noises.
🐾 nervous with new people, but as long as you let her approach she’s a huge lover
🐾 typical to the shepherd persona - she attaches at the hip to her person. In fact she likes to try to lay across my lap when I sit on the couch.
🐾 she’s nervous with new things & loud sounds, but just stands behind me (or climbs behind me on the couch)
🐾 needs a heavy duty kennel of some kind
🐾 preference given to experienced working dog parents or one who is willing to line up a trainer to help you guide her into adulthood
🐾 she WANTS TO BE IN THE WATER. Her water bowl, the hose, the pool, doesn’t have to be out in the rain, but otherwise - be prepared for a wet floor, wet dog, etc….
🐾 she has the same long coat as Cali, so be prepared for a ton of brushing and/or grooming bills
🐾 she has a somewhat sensitive tummy so food transitions will need to be slow
Honestly, she’s great. There are a lot of reasons I can’t keep her in this season of life, I would in a different situation (like maybe if I was younger with more energy to keep up with her 🤣).
Her adoption fee will be 225. She is not on the website yet, but the application is k911foundation.com/adopt
