Dakota FKA Dancer

Dakota FKA Dancer

Looking for a rewarding rescue experience? Meet Dakota fka Dancer. Dakota had been part of a group unofficially known as the "Christmas Dogs" arriving at the BVSPCA when she was just a puppy as part of a humane investigation. After the case was won, this active girl with an exaggerated underbite and widow's peak was adopted. Dakota unfortunately, found her way back to us as a senior and we would love nothing more than to see Dakota back in a loving home to enjoy her senior years. Dakota is dog friendly. Interested? Stop by for an introduction.
