🌟 Meet Oakley, the fantastic 4-year-old male Australian Cattle Dog who’s ready to leap into your heart! Weighing in at a sturdy 40 pounds, this handsome boy boasts a stunning mix of red and blue fur, complemented by the most unique ring tail you’ve ever seen! ❤️ Despite his previous life as a farm dog, where he likely didn’t see much of the outside world, Oakley has blossomed in his foster home. He’s a sweetheart who is eager to show off his potential. This boy is bursting with energy and a zest for life! 😊 His affectionate nature is simply contagious – he loves people, although he occasionally tries to greet everyone with a jump (we’re working on that!). When it comes to walking, Oakley is a natural! He walks beautifully on and off the leash, staying close like a true buddy. And let’s talk about his recall – it’s rockstar status! While he’s friendly with other dogs, his exuberance might intimidate a few, so it’s all about mutual introductions. 🐕‍🦺 Oakley enjoys swimming and is not shy about tackling agility equipment. He’s a bit of a toy destroyer though; if a toy can’t be ripped apart, it’s just not as fun for him! 🎾 Now, let’s get real for a moment – he’s a counter surfer and if left unattended, might engage in a little culinary exploration! But, when left in his crate, he's a fantastic guest in your home. His housebreaking is almost on point, and he's learned commands like 'sit' and even 'down,' although he’s still honing these skills. Plus, he’s great around horses and goats, and he has even formed a delicate truce with cats after a careful introduction. However, those chickens are best left unbothered! 🐔 If there’s one area where Oakley could use a little extra help, it’s in the car. While he loves hopping in (no car sickness here!), he can be a bit vocal while on the move. But with patience and practice, he’ll learn to enjoy that ride with you! 🚗❤️ Oakley came into rescue with some fly strikes that have healed (a little fur loss is notable but barely visible), and while he has some chipped teeth, they don’t bother him at all. This loving boy is all about looking for his forever home filled with love and continued training, and he’s eager to share countless joyful moments with you. 🌈 Located in Knoxville, TN, Oakley is ready for his happily ever after. If you've got room in your heart and home for this extraordinary pup, reach out to his foster family.
