Shelter Seeks Home For Shepherd Surrendered Because She Barked At Owner

Update 5/20/2024: Adoption pending!

East Haven, CT – A young German shepherd named Dakota recently lost her home after a strange incident that scared her owner. According to the East Haven Animal Shelter, Dakota barked at her owner one night and it scared them…enough to give her up.

The shelter said:

This is Dakota. ❤️ She was surrendered by her owners late one night because she barked at her owner and scared her. This is why you should research a breed before you get one.

Dakota is a good girl who was misunderstood by her owners. The shelter outlines her many attributes, writing:

Dakota is a 1.5 year old spayed German Shepherd. She is super sweet and is from a house with kids and is very good with them. She’s good with other dogs (a meet and greet is required) and curious about cats but is scared of them.

Some people are cut out to own a German shepherd…and others are better suited to golden retrievers. Dakota needs to find a German shepherd owner – someone familiar with the breed and comfortable with the traits that make them among the most popular breeds owned in America.

German shepherds are devoted, intelligent, highly trainable, protective, and agile. Please help Dakota find someone who can appreciate all of her wonderful qualities.

The shelter says that Dakota has a limp and they are trying to determine why. If you’re interested in adopting Dakota or would like to donate towards her medical care call East Haven Animal Shelter at 203-468-3249.
