I apologize for not responding sooner. My mother's not doing well. I ended up having to do an owner surrender. She is at Jasper County Animal Shelter.

Hi Jennifer,

We do have Dakota posted on our adoption sites and will route interested parties your way. Please let us know if there's any change in his availability so we can keep our website up-to-date, ok?

My landlord is giving me two weeks to find a home for her.  Also, I am anticipating a move within the next two months and pitbull breeds are not allowed."
