Dakota Adopted!

Dakota, what a marshmellow

Dakota came to the rescue along with three other dogs from a “Puppy Mill.” This is why you should NEVER purchase a dog from a pet store because it keeps people like this in business.


Here is an email the rescue received for helping with the GSPs that were confiscated:

“This morning the last 4 GSPs from the South Dakota seizure of over a year ago, flew out of Sioux Falls to safety & homes. These dogs were in legal limbo in the shelter here and without your time, energy, homes (& money) they would have been back living in barn silos as the court had given them back on a technicality.

There were actually more than 200 dogs involving several breed rescues, and after 9 months of legal proceedings and several months of headaches with travel arrangements, since no one gave up, a very large miracle happen. If you need something done, go to a rescuer. You can move mountains and say, 'what should we do tomorrow.'

Thank you all so much - woof :)

If you can only hear silence from the middle of the country, it is because the extra building the dogs were in is empty !!”

Big Foot and Dakota

Dakota came to me without even a proper name. She was known as “G42,” a 3-year-old femal GSP that weighed 44 lbs.  Since she came to me I thought Dakota was a fitting name, not only because you should never forgot where you came from but also because it’s pretty.


G42 became Dakota, and what a personality this pup has. She’s a typical GSP with one of the shiniest liver coats I’ve ever seen. When I first got her I wasn’t sure of her behavior because she did come from a puppy mill. It only took a few days to house break her and she has no food or toy aggression issues with her fellow dog friends. In fact, she loves the company. Dakota gets along great with other dogs whether it’s playing or lounging.

But in due time, Dakota was adopted to her forever family in October of 2010. She now lives with her GSP sister, Dulce, and her human companions. We’re very happy they’ve found each other and are doing well.


We love you Dakota and wish you the best.

Dakota and Dulce enjoying the good life
