Oakley

Oakley is a 4 year old mini golden x who's heart fills his entire body. This 45 lb love-o-liscous is totally committed to finding a person who will love him as much as he will love them. This boy is the complete package for country living - never ventures far, has excellent recall, and he is the best companion for doing all your chores together. No more stacking wood, cutting trails, or gardening alone... your Oakleypanion awaits!<br/><br/>This sweetie pie has been in a busy foster home with other northerns and is soaking up having people love him and care for him. Even though he was a tied lawn ornament in his previous life, he has good dog skills and adores his foster four leggeds. He can introduce himself to new dogs with too much speed and gusto, but once his intro is done, he's super social and mixes well with every single dog he meets. When funning offleash, he enjoys the company of others but his priority is his person and he checks back often to make sure she's still there. He will give love licks or hand nibbles on walks when her arm swings near him and don't forget his fabulous recall where he will stop mid flight at a full run to respond. <br/><br/>Oakley is house trained and crate trained though he doesn't need his crate and he's thankful for that because he doesn't like it. He is quiet in the house and totally ignores the cats who come and go in his space. He is better than any alarm system as he will bark when people come to the door or drive into the driveway. <br/><br/>Oakley did spend time in another home but after two months, he didn't get along with the home dog which to be honest, is a super surprise. Because the home dog was submissive, we feel he will do best with a higher ranking dog, a female, or in a multiple dog household. While away, he learned 'sit', 'down', 'heal', and 'spin' and is so food motivated, he's happy to show you each one.<br/><br/>Oakley is a medium sized cuddle bug. To anyone in his inner circle, he's a joy with lots of love to give and like any of us, some quirks as well - like still not letting his foster dad into his circle of trust. Like many dogs, Oakley can be slightly wary of men at first but sometimes he's all over them right away. Apparently it's an energy thing and he knows who he feels safe with. <br/><br/>Oakley will do best in a rural home with low visitor traffic - somewhere where he can be with his trusted people while not being forced to meet new people. He can be out and about at a cafe or dog park and everything is fine but on his own property he has a mix of fear based stranger danger and protectiveness. <br/><br/>Oakley is certified THE BEST sidekick in the world. He's sooooo dependable outside that a fence is not necessary and he won't venture far just in case he misses you turning left when he went right. He loves to be your copilot and chooses to stay in the van just in case you're thinking of going anywhere without him. He would love the right dog sister or brother to play with but he doesn't need one to lean on, just as a friend. When you're a dog, it's just nice to have dog companionship so you can speak dog and do dog, but ultimately, his person is his heart.<br/><br/>Oakley is neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated (DAPP and rabies). His adoption fee is $750.<br/><br/>Adoption process includes application, virtual home visit, phone interview, reference check, meet & greet, adoption contract and $750 adoption fee.<br/><br/>Fill out an adoption application below (copy the link below into your browser).<br/><br/>***Fill out the ADOPTION APPLICATION at:<br/>https://signup.ifaw.org/en-ca/northern-dogs-adoption-application-form<br/><br/>Finlove awaits.
