Calling all lovers of handsome lovable chocolate Labs . . . Oakley has joined us! He’s 5.5 years old and 75 active pounds of Lab love. He comes to us from growing family with busy schedules who felt a home with more time for Oakley would be best
Oakley is house trained, crate trained and knows many commands: sit, paw, down, spin, stay, come, and go to your place. He’s a smart pup! He lived with another dog and was tolerant of her bossiness, except when it came to trying to get his food. Cats? “Love to chase ‘em!” he woofs. Oakley thrives on hearing what a good boy he is.
More from his foster mom:
“Oakley is so loving, and really wants to please his people. He’s very smart, relishes attention, petting and loves to lay his head in your lap, and wants to be near you. Oakley’s faves? Playing with balls – chewing on balls – retrieving balls – playing with his big ball in the yard – and sleeping. He loves the kiddie pool in the back yard too. He plays by himself a lot – he will toss the ball and chase it. He has this big hard ball that he likes to push around the yard.
“Oakley is reluctant to give up his prized toys unless he wants you to throw his ball — then he will bring it back and drop it at your feet or in your lap, again and again! He will thrive with a strong yet kind Lab savvy adult who will provide consistent training and positive reinforcement. A home where he is the only dog is best.”
Oakley adds, “ I hope my new home will be an active one that will give me a lot of affection, snuggles and attention. A big backyard to play in would be great. I’m no couch potato! I’d like peeps who I can snuggle with at night because I love to be petted and snuggle before bed.”
Note: Oakley will be placed in an active adults only home.
