Dakota
About This Dog
Dakota's ideal home
This gorgeous little bean is Dakota, a 5 year old Chihuahua X Dachshund who is looking for his loving forever family. Dakota is quite nervous around new people – he was initially rescued from a scary situation which means he worries if he is approached too quickly. If you go slowly and gently and let him feel comfortable, he’s an absolute sweetheart who loves a cwtch! Due to his nervousness around fast movements, any children in Dakota’s life would ideally be sensible older primary school aged or over, who understand that he needs time and space to himself sometimes. Dakota would prefer a home on the quieter side without too many comings and goings. He’s happy to make friends with other dogs, and could potentially live with another small calm dog (following a successful meet here at the centre). Dakota truly has a heart of gold and he’ll give so much love to his new favourite people.
Could you be Dakota's perfect match?
Dakota is a fairly chilled-out little guy who likes to see the world at his own pace! His favourite thing to do is go for nice sniffy walks where he can absorb all the scenery around him, and he walks really well on his lead as he goes along. He tries his best with his housetraining skills but may need some reminders whilst he settles in to his new home. Dakota rests calmly in his kennel here at the centre, so we think he’ll be ok to spend up to 4 hours by himself in his new home (though we do always recommend building this up slowly at first). Dakota needs a bit of time to get to know you before he’ll be ready for fusses, but he is the sweetest little cuddly companion once he feels comfortable! We’re excited to see him curled up on his forever sofa soon.
