Meet Okinawa... but his friends call him Oki or Okie-Dokie.

Can we all agree that a dog this adorable has absolutely no business waiting this long for his family?!

Okie-Dokie is a tiny guy with a HUGE personality. He's convinced it's his full-time job to announce when someone pulls into the driveway (excellent neighborhood security system included at no extra charge ). Once the "danger" has been properly reported, he transforms into a professional cuddle bug whose favorite place in the world is curled up in your lap.

Oki's resume includes:
Expert lap snuggler
Personal shadow (privacy is overrated anyway)
Loyal sidekick who wants to be wherever YOU are
Gets along great with other dogs
Certified heart thief

He's the kind of dog who makes a house feel like home.

Now, because every great superhero has a couple of quirks...
Cats are not his people.
Car rides can make his tummy a little queasy.

But honestly? That's a pretty short "con" list

Oki has been waiting far too long for someone to see what everyone who meets him already knows: he's the sweetest little soul with so much love to give. He doesn't need a perfect family-just one that will love him as much as he'll love them.
