After 267 long days of patiently waiting for her court case to resolve, Dakota, a beautiful and affectionate 2-year-old, 81lb Rottweiler, is finally free and ready to embark on her next adventure—a loving forever home! This sweet girl has endured so much, but her spirit remains unbroken. Dakota is a certified lovebug who adores attention and will happily flop over for belly rubs as soon as you give her some affection.

Dakota has a playful side, too—she loves toys and is always up for a treat (of any kind!). Because this clever girl knows her way around food, it's best to secure it when you're away. She’s a pro in her crate and is mostly housebroken, making her transition into a home smoother. While Dakota can be a bit strong on the leash, she’s eager to learn with the right guidance.

She’s shown interest in other dogs, and with proper introductions, she may find a new best friend! We’re not sure how Dakota feels about cats yet, so careful introductions are recommended. Dakota’s journey has been long and challenging, but her heart is full of love and hope for a brighter future.
