Grooming and fleas were addressed quickly, and when no owner was found, it was time to get this boy ready for his FUREVER HOME.<br/><br/>Vaccinated, neutered, dangling dew claws addressed, baby teeth that didn't fall out removed while under, and chipped - this kid is ready for his next and final chapter.<br/><br/>Because Oakley struggles a bit with separation anxiety and still needs work with leash training, apartment living wouldn't be ideal (your neighbors would agree ). A secure yard would give him a safe place to practice, build confidence, and reduce the risk of him bolting when he's feeling unsure.<br/><br/>Oakley needs someone who is ready to help him become a more confident kid with patience, training, and consistency. He is already making progress and will shine as a little adventure buddy with the right person(s).<br/><br/>Oakley believes his job is to alert and protect - no one can walk back into the room (after just walking out) without Oakley announcing it. He can also be a bit mouthy, so a home with small children may not be the most ideal.<br/><br/>Once he connects with you, you'll have a little love sponge who will adore you and want to be your constant shadow.
