Dakota is a great American Eskimo who is about 3 years old. Dakota is a natural at retriving a ball that is thrown for him. He will play with you for hours without getting tired.

He blended well with the other dogs we are fostering and is alert yet cautious with new things or people. It took him a while to know who we were and sometimes a bit of lingering hesitation comes over him but he usually gets over that fairly fast.

During his life someone has grabbed him and hurt him because if you try to reach down to pet him he bares his teeth. He never lunges just only shows his teeth. I have been working with him on this and getting him to trust me has been a great help in curbing this behavior. He is not a fighter with the other dogs at all and reallty seems to be a fairly mellow dog except when you reach down too fast near him. I try to make sure that when I pet him I do it slowly and speak with him first to get him ready for the touching. He does not appear to be a biter...just a warning growl about not hurting him.
As with all Eskies he is very smart and loved to be scratched and tickled.

If you're interested in Dakota and would like more information, please contact Susan: mcavoy2@msn.com. You can also visit our website You can also visit our website and sign-up to fill out an adoption application and learn more about our adoption process.

More about Dakota

Good with Dogs, Is Not Good with Kids

Whenever possible Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out its dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where I'm being fostered). Please note that ERU processes LOCAL adoption applications before considering those from out of state.

If I'm not local to you, as explained above, and you really have your heart set on me, you will have to make special arrangements so ERU can get me to you safely (for example, flying me to you at your own expense, or paying a transport group to drive me to you). Note: We may ask that you to make a donation to cover transport costs if the distance is great and we have trouble finding transport drivers.

There is an adoption fee required; and, please be aware, Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs.

Eskie Rescuers United American Eskimo Dog Rescue, Inc. is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Please click the donation button below to make a tax-deductible donation through PayPal and help make a difference to even one American Eskimo dog!
