Oakley is the sort of dog who lives up to the classic "guy’s guy" reputation: confident, easygoing, and always up for a good time. He’s been at the shelter for over a year, which just doesn’t add up given how reliably chill and nonchalant he is around other dogs. Oakley is often the go-to dog for introducing new arrivals—he handles pack walks and even the wildest kennel neighbors without losing his cool. On leash and harness, he’s steady and ready for an adventure, especially if it involves hiking or long walks. With more training, he’d probably make a great biking partner, too. He still flashes some goofy, playful energy and brings out classic puppy habits, especially when it comes to tugging and chewing on anything rope-like. Volunteers have learned to bring a rope toy to keep him off slip leads and leashes—he can’t resist a good tug of war. Switching to a chain leash helps cut down on those shenanigans, but you’ll want to keep up some basic manner training if you want your sleeves intact. Underneath the playful streak, Oakley is a laid back, neutral type with tons of potential as a loyal sidekick for active adopters. If you want a buddy who’ll push you on your next outdoor adventure and keep you laughing, he’s worth a look. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
