Oaklie

My name is Oaklie, and I’m a two-year-old black lab mix, though I'm just learning what it means to be a real dog. For a while, life wasn't easy. I didn't have soft beds or a safe place. Toys and bones? I didn't even know what they were for! Now, things are different. I weigh about 40 pounds, and they say I give the best hugs ever – and I do love a good snuggle.<br/><br/>You have to understood that I'm a bit of a nervous nellie with strangers. The first time I met my foster mom, she was so patient. Slow movements, quiet words, and…oh boy…cheese-flavored treats! That's how she earned my trust. Now, I'm her ride or die. We go on the best adventures! I love car rides, sticking my nose out the window, smelling everything. I'm good on a leash, mostly. Squirrels are a different story; they're just so… interesting!<br/><br/>I could be your official couch-lounging buddy. If you want to binge-watch a show, I'm right there, curled up beside you. If you wants to go to the park, I'm ready to explore.<br/><br/>I'm still learning about toys and bones. Give me time, and I'll figure it out. For now, I'm content with my walks, my ear scratches, and my cheese-flavored treats. I think I'm finally starting to understand what it means to have a home, and it's the best feeling in the world.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please go to our website at www.lolin.org and click on Adopt, Apply for a Dog.
