We adopted Dakota in October 2008 after losing our family dog, Donovan the previous year due to a sudden illness. We all missed him so much and were still grieving and not sure that we were ready for another dog. The first time we met Dakota, we knew she was meant for our family! She had been relinquished by her family after they lost their home and she ended up with SoCal German Shepherd Rescue. She is perfect! She has brought so much love, happiness and many smiles to our family and we can't imagine life without her! It is as if Donovan sent her to us to mend our broken hearts.
