Meet • SHARE • Adopt Oates 🐾 Those soft, soulful eyes? They belong to Oates — a confident little 10-week-old puppy with a heart far bigger than his paws. From the very start, Oates has shown us who he is. He’s the brave big-hearted brother, quietly helping his deaf sibling Hall (also available!) find confidence in a loud, confusing world. Even as a baby himself, Oates steps up — steady, gentle, and full of love. He’s a tender-hearted soul, the kind of puppy who feels everything deeply. Oates blossoms with calm voices, encouragement, and gentle redirection. Harsh words? They would break this boy’s heart. All he wants is to do right and make his people proud ❤️ When it’s playtime, Oates is all puppy joy — romping with other dogs, chasing toys, and soaking up life one experience at a time. He’s learning the ropes of house life, working on potty training and manners like any growing pup. 🐾 Dog-friendly? Absolutely. 🐾 Cat-approved? Yes! He currently has a kitty friend he adores. 🐾 Kids? He hasn’t met them yet, but with patient guidance and supervision, we have no concerns in the right home. Oates would truly shine in a home with a playful canine sibling to help guide him, wrestle with him, and teach him what it means to be part of a pack. If you’re searching for a puppy who will love you with his whole heart, look at you like you’re his entire world, and grow into a loyal, gentle companion — Oates may be the one you’ve been waiting for. 💙 ✨ Oates comes with: ✅ Neutered ✅ Age-appropriate vaccines ✅ Microchipped 💲 Adoption fee: $250 👉 Apply to adopt Oates: https://foreveryoursokc.org/adoption-application/
