Meet Oxiel. This 2-year-old, 30-pound sweetheart is on the lookout for a patient family to help him explore the joys of life. He’s a shy boy who needs time to adjust to new people and environments, so finding a calm home is essential. Oxiel hopes for a family that will allow him to decompress at his own pace and not rush him into anything. The best gift you can offer him is understanding and time. As he gains confidence, he will reward your care with unwavering loyalty and love. Watching him reach small milestones—like his first tail wag or curling up next to you—will make each moment worthwhile. Oxiel thrives in a relaxed atmosphere where he can build a routine and learn that kindness is real. He’ll soon be flying to Morristown, New Jersey, at the end of August, and it would mean the world for his forever family to be ready to welcome him. If you believe in giving a shy dog a chance, Oxiel is ready to start this new chapter with you. Your new best friend is just one click away.
