Oakley

Oakley came to us from Oklahoma where she had been raised to be a duck hunting partner. Her happy-go-lucky energy was not right for that situation, so she went to a foster home who introduced her to toys for the first time. Her response? ‘THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!’ and she’s never stopped enjoying herself since. In fact, she loves so many things about life, that she decided she really doesn’t want to be a search dog either…she would rather do other things like…hike, run, play with other dogs, explore her environment, bop you in the nose, etc.

She is a kind-hearted and sweet girl, but she does like to be busy! Staff describe her as bouncy, quirky, fun, silly and high octane! She absolutely loves our playgroup when she can be with another dog and might really enjoy a home with another canine companion. She is affectionate with the people she knows (but pay attention for the nose bop!) She enjoys being read to by Kennel Buddies – she listens intently as our volunteers read aloud to her.

She’s got spring and bounce and is athletic and trim – she might like to try a dog sport or two. She definitely would like a partner who is active and can play, run, hike, hang with her. She has a kind heart and sweet nature but that sometimes get overshadowed by her bouncy girl antics. She has an off switch, but that can be easily be turned the other way when she sees someone she likes or notices the potential for having fun. Boing! Boing! Boing!

She’s a petite package and a beautiful girl. We think she has the potential to settle down (at least a little) when she has found a secure attachment to a person and home.

If you are up for a fun, bouncy, beautiful companion – Oakley is ready to jump right into your arms and head off into the sunset with you!
