Dakota - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Winston-salem, North Carolina

Oh, look... a cattle dog! Meet Dakota! One of the several cattle dogs, all from the same former home, here searching for her forever! This beautiful 3 year old herder is the sweetest bundle of energy, and she LOVES to walk and play!
She got along great with all of her former housemate friends, with Papaw Wyatt being her absolute favorite!
She can be a little jumpy when walking with the leash, but with consistency and continued training, she will have that figured out in no time!
Winning the heart of both staff and volunteers alike, we aren't sure why this sweet girl hasn't found her family yet.
If you have forever and are looking to add a 'plus one', she would love that opportunity to meet you!
We always recommend meet and greets with and children prior to adoption to ensure a great fit for all, also! We don't have information on how she does with cats and no way to test for this.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
