Hi everybody! I’m Dakota and I was adopted a few months ago but I’m finally getting a chance to share my adoption story with GRRIN. My former name was Teddy Bear, and I came from Oklahoma where I’d lived outdoors my entire life. After that experience, let’s just say I don’t like thunderstorms! The good folks from a rescue in Oklahoma took me in and then asked GRRIN for help with my foster care – of course they drove right down and picked me up so I could live with Cathi and her resident dogs for a while. I quickly learned house manners and the rules of living indoors. Then Todd and Laura came along and it was love at first sight for all of us! I’ve had a few challenges in my new home including some medical stuff but everyone thinks I’m getting better. No matter what happens, Todd and Laura say they’ll always be my “furever” family – and they even took me to the Gold Rush adoption parade so they could show off my fabulous smile!
