Dakota is a 2 1/2 year old black and tan male.  He is housebroken.  He is good with cats and gets along well with other dogs.  He loves to play with water.  Dakota is very shy, and really has to get to know you.  He cowers at first, and needs a home with someone who will be very patient with him and show him that people can be kind and gentle.  Once he trusts you, he bonds quickly and will be a wonderful family member.
