About Oakley

Oakley is a sweet and gentle boy who truly comes to life once he feels comfortable in his surroundings. Over the week with his former foster, he showed just how affectionate he can be, often seeking out belly rubs when he trusts you. With a moderate activity level, he's just as happy lounging in the sun as he is playing with his favorite squeaky toys, balls, or soft frisbees. He enjoys bringing a toy or ball along on walks, often dropping it at the door for a playful nudge to take it outside. Food and toy motivated, Oakley responds well to training, including sitting patiently for his meals. He walks well on a leash and has no concerns when left alone, typically using that time to relax. While he can grow nervous around loud noises, he is friendly and curious when meeting people and other dogs alike, often maintaining a good rapport and willingly sharing his toys. Though he occasionally tucks his tail when unsure, Oakley generally remains calm and communicates well when he needs to go outside. With a little patience and love, he'll flourish into a cherished companion. He truly embodies the joy of companionship and spontaneity. Ready to meet him?
