My Pet Pal: Dakota

January 05, 2022 7:00 pm • Last Updated: January 05, 2022 7:00 pm

Hi! My name’s Dakota and I love walking in the woods and playing with leaves. My people parents, Billy and Tiffany, take me to the beach so I can dig in the sand and fetch sticks in the water, it’s the best time ever! I love treats and snuggles and I’m even learning to close the door all by myself when I come inside!
