OAKLEY Oakley is a beautiful Australian Shepherd - Rough Coat Collie (also referred to as Lassie dogs) mix; he has beautiful, thick fur. His ears are pricked like a collie, but his coat has all kinds of beautiful, colorful flex, and merle that he gets from his Aussie side. Oakley is extremely gentle ; he’s never met a stranger whether it’s people or other dogs he’s always interested in getting to know somebody and having a chance to play. Oakley has moderate energy level somewhere between a 4 and a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10; he’s plenty active for taking on leisurely walks or for running around in a dog park and for doing fun outdoorsy activities. On the other side, Oakley can be very calm and gentle. He’s a true snuggle bug. He loves to cuddle. He loves to come over to his humans and hunker down whether it’s a storm or a TV binge-a-thon. Oakley is right there and wants to keep everybody company. Oakley is really low maintenance; he’s perfectly housebroken and trained but he is used to having other dogs around, so we’re looking for a home where he has a friendly playful, similar size and energy, sister dog, or another submissive, male like him. Oakley is great with children. He doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. He loves to lick. He loves to kiss he loves to get petted and get belly rubs and any other kind of attention. He’s been gentle around even babies and toddlers, (although we still want parents to keep an eye on them!) The only reason that Oakley has to be rehomed is that his owner has developed a very severe allergy to her dogs and cannot keep either of them since they’ve always been indoor family pets they’re still getting to live that way, but it’s important that we find homes for them that are good matches where they can really be all over their people again. Oakley will be a great companion for a human or a couple a great friend and playmate for hurting breed knowledgeable children, preferably over the age of 10, as well as the perfect canine companion for another dog or two that he can have as new siblings where he’ll never feel alone. If Oakley sounds like a great match for you or your family, please complete the application on our website below and then text me, Sara: 214-549-9905 So I can check your application and then get back to you! Thank you! .dashdog General Info - PLEASE READ! Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities. THERE WILL BE ZERO ACCEPTIONS MADE. We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs over 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS DO NOT RECOMMEND AND WILL NOT PERFORM SURGERY PRIOR TO 6 MONTHS.
