About Oakley

Meet Oakley! He is a charming 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog weighing in at 66 lbs. Oakley embodies gentleness and affection; he's fully housetrained and has earned the trust of his foster family, who don’t even need to crate him. This lovable dog enjoys playing with other dogs, going for long walks, tossing his toys around, and soaking up all the cuddles he can find. Though he hasn’t interacted with kids yet, he has a gentle disposition and jumps lightly when excited, making his foster family believe he would likely adapt well to a home with children. Oakley may take a little time to warm up, but once he does, he is your loyal companion and a true “huge lover boy.” He loves curling up on the couch and might even try to sit on your lap, showcasing his affectionate nature. This special dog has a big heart and an abundance of love to give. If you want a sweet, snuggly companion who flourishes with a bit of patience, Oakley is ready to become your new favorite couch buddy. His minimum adoption fee is $400, plus a $15 fee for rabies registration if you live in McLean County.
