Meet Oakley! She is currently in boarding while her foster searches for a new home after selling theirs. At just 9 months old, this Black Lab mix has a big heart and an even bigger personality, weighing around 45 pounds. Oakley is the perfect blend of playful puppy and loyal companion. She thrives on playtime, whether it's fetching a ball, exploring the outdoors, or working on puzzle toys. This smart girl loves positive reinforcement, especially when treats are involved, and she's been making impressive strides in her training. Interacting with people and other dogs is one of Oakley’s strong suits. She handles introductions well and is gaining confidence every day. While she can be a bit excitable on walks, she's improving at heeling when asked. Oakley enjoys the company of other dogs and would likely benefit from a playful canine companion to help her further blossom. Though she has some youthful puppy habits, such as playful nipping when excited, she's fully house-trained and learns quickly. Originally from Oklahoma, she was known as "KitKat," but her new name suits her adventurous spirit. Oakley would be happiest in a home with children over 8 years old and an active family ready to nurture her full potential. If you’re looking for a loyal friend, hiking buddy, and fetch champion all in one, Oakley is ready to bring joy to your life!
