Adopt Oakley

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Our beloved Oakley has returned to us after her adoption did not go as planned. She is an absolute stunner, boasting white blonde fur that's soft to the touch, ideal for snuggles. Her charming floppy ears and large, expressive puppy eyes make her a standout beauty among the dogs in our kennels. She had been with them for nearly a year, yet her nervousness proved challenging for them to handle. The bustling family life was not a good fit for her, so she has returned to us. We are hopeful to find her a home that values her gentle pace and can offer a tranquil setting where she can not only emerge from her shell but also thrive. She gets along well with other dogs, so a home with a confident canine companion could benefit her by providing guidance. She enjoys playing in our secure field and is fond of her toys. Oakley's humorous and playful nature never fails to make us laugh. Oakley lacks confidence and often finds it challenging to cope with unfamiliar outdoor environments. A handler with experience in dealing with shy, nervous dogs would be ideal for her. Her anxiety typically presents as barking and posturing to appear intimidating, which is her way of deterring perceived threats. We are actively engaged in a training regimen designed to bolster her confidence and improve her reactions to various stimuli. Oakley is making excellent progress; however, it is crucial that her future adopter is committed to sustaining this positive trajectory. We would like to rehome her locally so that we can continue to provide support to her adopters. Once Oakley has built trust, she becomes a cuddly and humorous companion, full of affection and playfulness. She enjoys visiting our office, quickly making the sofa her own and engaging with her toy. However, her endearing puppy eyes usually mean she won't be by herself on the sofa for too long! The ideal environment for Oakley would be a home without cats or young children. She may be suitable to live with older teenagers, but she is not comfortable with strangers in her space. Crate training plays a significant role in helping Oakley adjust to new surroundings, providing her with a personal area where she can retreat when she wants solitude is key to her comfort.
