Dashingly handsome Dakota is affectionately described by his foster mom as “the best big smushy love bug!” At 8 ½ years old, Dakota has a moderate energy level, but he’s been known to go into zoomie mode when he’s in a playful mood. He enjoys a good game of fetch and appreciates the creature comforts of snuggling with his people, enjoying his toys and curling up at bedtime in his dog bed tucked in under his blankets. Dakota would like a home where his people are home at least half of the time so he can have as much attention as possible.

At 37 pounds, Dakota is working on getting back into shape; he’s already lost 4 ½ pounds, and he has 5 more to go. His new family will need to ensure he has a balanced diet and will need to take him on regular walks, which should be easy as he walks well on leash. He also rides well in the car, so trips to the park with Dakota for extra walks and exercise will be a breeze. If it’s raining and Dakota needs to go outside (he’s housetrained with just the occasional accident), a raincoat is a must as he definitely does not like the rain! Dakota also has allergies and takes Apoquel to keep them under control.

Dakota is quite a sociable fellow. He enjoys spending time with his people and is fantastic with children – he will sit with them for hours and let them pet him. He likes the company of other dogs and would do equally well as an only dog or in a home with canine siblings.

For a beagle, Dakota is pretty quiet, although he doesn’t hesitate to let you know when it’s time to eat! He also barks as a greeting when he first meets new dogs and people just to show them how excited he is to make their acquaintance.

If this sociable, friendly fellow sounds like he’d make the perfect addition to your family, please contact Midwest BREW to learn more about him.
