Adopt Dakota

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 5 months

Dakota is a beagle mix pup and is almost 5 months old. As you can see she is a little stunner. However, she is an extremely intelligent, energetic and super trainable girl and so has specific requirements in a new home. She came into our care in poor condition at about 3 months old but is now fully recovered and ready for her forever home. She is a very clever and active pup and needs a home where she will get appropriate exercise and enrichment. Ideally she needs an adult home or one with teenagers and someone who is interested in training - part of Dakotas adoption agreement will be that she attend appropriate training classes and her owner will be committed to ongoing training. She needs a home where she will have someone at home most of the time and ideally a more mature dog to teach her the ropes. She is crate trained and doing well with house training and this will need to be continued in her new home. She loves to play ball and is quite confident and keen to learn new things. She is very food motived and super trainable. Dakota is a lot of fun and very sweet. She has specific requirements will be an adult home (or with teenagers) will have someone home most of the time will have another more mature dog must have a secure garden, of a good size, at the house will be committed to continuing to work with adolescent behaviour, and supporting her throughout will be committed to her ongoing training and enrichment The best location for Dakota will be in a rural or suburban area that has plenty of green space and is not heavily built up or very busy. Having means to drive her to suitable areas for exercise and exploration, especially early on, will be important. Dakota is a young dog just entering adolescence - do not apply for her if you are going to be unavailable to her during the day. That means her new humans must be working at a maximum part time and that includes if working from home - you’re still working! This is important for young dogs generally, and this dog specifically, so that she can learn to be around life with humans. Dakota can spend short amounts of time alone, in confinement, each day and settles well while alone in her pen or crate. She must be confined as she is a naughty young dog and will definitely get herself into mischief! Dakota is vaccinated and microchipped (972274200246365) and we will organise spaying her when she has developed more and it's healthy and safe to neuter. Please read Dakota's profile carefully and apply only if you feel you match the criteria. We will only be able to process applications that match Dakota's needs. Dept of Ag.

About Dakota

What life with Dakota looks like

Dakota is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at A Dog in Glenmore.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Dakota, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dakota?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. A Dog handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dakota on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dakota if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — A Dog will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Dakota already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Dakota isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with A Dog early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dakota and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
