Dakota JuM - Akita and Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right??
I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention.
I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge!
So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy.
I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please.
I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life.
Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :)

Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX)
Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
