ure Best Friend! Oakley is a gentle, sweet-natured pup who’s searching for a patient, loving family to help him blossom. His foster family has gotten to know him even better, and guess what? He’s even more adorable than we thought! Read on to see if Oakley is your perfect match. A Loving, Gentle Soul Oakley is pure sweetness—he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body! He’s submissive with other dogs, friendly with both males and females, and learning to play. He’s eager to please and absolutely thrives on love and encouragement. Bonus: He’s become a total Mama’s boy in his foster home, happily following his person around the house like a loyal shadow. Dog-Friendly & Learning to Play Oakley loves the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with a confident canine buddy. He enjoys wrestling with his foster brother and is discovering the fun of toys and bones (even though squeaky toys are still a little suspicious!). If he gets bored, he can get into a little mischief, so keeping him busy and active is important for this curious boy! Leash Life & Outdoor Adventures ‍ Oakley is wonderful on a leash! He’s gentle, doesn't pull, and loves to take his time—meandering, sniffing, and sometimes plopping down for a little grass break mid-walk. He’s definitely more of a casual stroller than a running buddy. New sights and sounds can still make him nervous, but his confidence is growing every day. Timid but Sweet with People ‍‍ Oakley needs time and patience to warm up, especially with men. While he’s bonded closely with his foster mom, he can be unsure and he tends to retreat to his crate or bark when unfamiliar visitors arrive. Good news: If a man became Oakley’s primary caregiver, he could absolutely bond in time! He just needs patience and understanding. Crate & Potty Training Pro This sweet boy is fully potty trained and sleeps quietly through the night. Even cuter: while he’s out of the crate during the day now, Oakley chooses to nap and sleep in his crate with the door open. It’s his little safe haven! Foodie at Heart Oakley is highly food-motivated and takes treats very gently. He’s still getting the hang of what to do with chew bones, but he’s enthusiastic about learning! What Oakley Needs Most A patient, loving home A confident dog buddy A fenced yard A quieter environment with older, respectful kids A family that understands his shy side and will celebrate his sweet victories With time, love, and stability, Oakley will reward you with unmatched loyalty and gentle affection.
