Dakota Lee (Kota), is a wonderful, beautiful 3/yo Husky/Lab mix. He is energetic and EXTREMELY loving! He is neutered, and up to date on all of his shots.
Kota needs someone that will have the time to be active with him. He likes hikes, walks, playing in the yard, etc.
He is potty trained. He does need a little training for separation anxiety when left home alone.
He gets along with other dogs, as long as they are not aggressive with him. Unfortunately, no cats.
Kota gets along very well with people and children.

Housing is Inadequate for Pet
Rehoming reason details (if necessary):
My son-in-law had to move across the country (MN), for a new job. Unfortunately, they were unable to take Kota at that time. So we offered to keep him for a few months until they could come back to get him. Unfortunately, they are unable to come and get him now, and we must rehome him. I do not have a fenced yard, and I have 3 other little dogs. Unfortunately, one of my little dogs is a little aggressive, so I can't have them around each other. It's not Kota's fault. If I had a fenced yard, I would keep him. Hands down.
