๐ Rescue Story
Oakley grew up with a family and children, but unfortunately, he didnโt know how to navigate the chaos and overstimulation of a busy household with little ones. Snapping became a pattern, and the family made the painful decision to surrender him. Since entering foster care, Oakley has begun to show his true selfโeager to bond, playful, and full of potential.
๐ถ Detailed Information
Oakley is a classic little wire-haired characterโalert, curious, and clever. He LOVES chasing a ball, and if you crouch down to his level, youโve got his full attention and heart. Heโs already formed a fast bond with his current foster and is very responsive to guidance.
Heโs living with several other dogs and gets along well, though sometimes he can be a bit too enthusiasticโover-sniffing, over-licking, and even trying to hump. He is not aggressive and shrinks back if another dog tells him off. He simply needs boundaries, guidance, and a confident, calm owner who can help him understand how to be his best self.
Oakley has previously been left alone for long hours, so now he would love a home where someone is around more often and can give him the time and interaction he craves. He pulls on the lead but is improving already with regular walks and structure.
๐ก Ideal Home
Oakley is looking for an adult-only home, ideally with experience of small, clever breeds like dachshunds. He could live with another friendly dog who wonโt be overwhelmed by his enthusiasm, and he would love a garden for playtime. A home with time and patience will see this boy blossom into the loyal, affectionate companion he longs to be.
๐ Adoption Encouragement
Oakley is still so young, and his mistakes come from confusion, not malice. With understanding and routine, he is already proving to be an absolutely lovely little dog. Please donโt let his past define his futureโhe deserves a fresh start with someone who believes in him.
If you're looking for a bright, trainable, loving companion and are ready to offer a home full of guidance and cuddles, Oakley is ready to steal your heart.
