Lakota

My story

I’ve spent most of my young life in rescue, so I’m still learning what a stable home and routine look like. I do best with clear structure and guidance. I’m obedience trained and know my commands but I’m smart, and I’ll test boundaries if you’re not consistent. I need an experienced, confident handler! It takes me a little while to warm up to men, so patience is important. I also need daily mental and physical exercise. Not just a quick walk, I need structured activity, training, games, and chances to use my brain. When I’m properly exercised and engaged, I’m my best self. When I’m bored, I’ll make my own fun. I’m playful and full of energy. I love other dogs my size, but my play style is loud and physical, so I need a dog who can match that. I could also be your only dog and wouldn't mind! No cats for me, I find them too interesting! I will need a home with no young children. I'm smart, driven, and high-energy. But with the right leadership and daily enrichment, I’ll be an incredibly loyal and fun companion. My adoption fee is waived. I’m currently staying at our Retreat location (3250 North Decatur Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89130). If you’re interested in adopting or fostering, you can apply online, and the Retreat team will reach out to schedule a meet and greet!
