Dakota would like to be an only child.  Needing Families Now!

Brains, good looks, a sparkling personality. . . Dakota has it all going for him! Nine years old, Dakota loves sports and the outdoors. He's happiest when riding his bike, reading, catching tadpoles, watching water skippers, playing sports, and fishing. Dakota loves animals, especially dogs, but also enjoyed the turtle and snake in his most recent foster home. Dakota is one smart cookie. He excels in reading, math, and spelling in particular. He just completed third grade but spells and reads at the sixth and seventh grade levels. You'll often find Dakota reading for fun and he loves telling you about the book he's reading. With long eyelashes and a great smile, Dakota is a handsome boy. His whole face lights up when he's excited.

Dakota says he would like a family who plays video games, watches and plays sports, and has dogs, cats, and "cows and snakes that roam free." Dakota's favorite foods include bean and cheese burritos, Mexican casserole, hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza with sausage, olives, and cheese. Dakota can throw a football in a perfect spiral and says he'd like to play for the New England Patriots one day. He is described by his teacher as "kind, well mannered, polite, and smart," and his therapist says he is "highly adoptable." Everyone agrees: Dakota would be a great addition to a family. So, what's missing? YOU!
