DAKOTA

Sex: Female 
Age: 3 Years 6 Months (Jan 2024) 
Size: Large (30-33kg) 
Location: Currently in Turkey, awaiting adoption 
Needs: A home with regular exercise, love, and companionship 

Dakota is a stunning, playful, and affectionate girl who is full of energy and love. She was one of seven puppies rescued from a town notorious for its cruelty to street dogs. Born in the harsh winter, Dakota and her siblings wouldn’t have survived without the kindness of a local who fed them and kept them safe until help arrived.

Dakota is a big girl with a heart full of joy. She loves everyone she meets, including strangers, and has a friendly, loving nature. She’s very playful and enjoys spending time in the garden, playing with other dogs, and exploring her surroundings. Dakota is a dog-friendly girl who gets along with both people and other dogs, making her an excellent companion for a family.

Dakota loves affection and enjoys being stroked and petted. She has met the grandchildren of her foster mum and has shown herself to be wonderful around them, always happy to give love. She walks well on a lead and enjoys her walks, which will be an important part of her routine in her new home.

Although Dakota is a large breed, she is well-behaved and is an all-around fabulous companion. She will do well in a home where she can receive plenty of exercise and attention. As she has been in her current foster home for some time, a period of adjustment will be needed as she settles into her new family.

Dakota is already neutered, chipped, and vaccinated, and she is now ready for her forever home in the UK. A home check is required, and while there is no adoption fee, a voluntary donation to help with rescue costs would be greatly appreciated.

Dakota is currently waiting for her forever family in Turkey. All dogs are tested for Brucella, Leishmaniasis, Anaplasma, Heartworm, and E-Canis before travel, and proof of testing and signed vet letters will be provided to the adopter.

Could you be the one to offer Dakota the loving home she deserves?

If you think you could offer Dakota the forever home she’s been waiting for, please take a look at our adoption process via Adopting With AFOT, where you’ll find everything you need to get started, including our adoption form. A home check is always carried out, and while there’s no fixed adoption fee, we do kindly ask for a voluntary donation to help with our ongoing rescue efforts.

Important Information

All our dogs will be tested prior to leaving Turkey for the following diseases:

BRUCELLA
LEISHMANIAS
ANAPLASMA
HEARTWORM
E-CANIS

Proof of tests and accompanying signed vet letters will be sent to adopter.

A home check is always made.

We provide a lifetime rescue back up (RBU) and work to DEFRA guidelines.

While there is no adoption fee required, we do ask for a voluntary donation to help towards our costs of between £595-£795. Each dog costs us on average £2500-£3000 to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome and our adoption donation is only a small proportion of this.

We rely solely on fundraising for the remainder plus any emergency treatment needed to help these abused, neglected and abandoned animals which are often in horrific condition and desperate need when they come into AFOT care.

Every penny we raise goes towards rescuing another dog, so even if you decide not to rehome one of our dogs today, please consider a donation so that we can continue to rescue another dog in the future.
