Dog-Friendly & Learning to Play Oakley loves the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with a confident canine buddy. He enjoys wrestling with his foster brother and is discovering the fun of toys and bones (even though squeaky toys are still a little suspicious!).If he gets bored, he can get into a little mischief, so keeping him busy and active is important for this curious boy!Leash Life & Outdoor Adventures Oakley is wonderful on a leash! He’s gentle, doesn't pull, and loves to take his time—meandering, sniffing, and sometimes plopping down for a little grass break mid-walk. He’s definitely more of a casual stroller than a running buddy.New sights and sounds can still make him nervous, but his confidence is growing every day.Timid but Sweet with People Oakley needs time and patience to warm up, especially with men. While he’s bonded closely with his foster mom, he can be unsure and he tends to retreat to his crate or bark when unfamiliar visitors arrive.Good news: If a man became Oakley’s primary caregiver, he could absolutely bond in time! He just needs patience and understanding.Crate & Potty Training Pro This sweet boy is fully potty trained and sleeps quietly through the night.Even cuter: while he’s out of the crate during the day now, Oakley chooses to nap and sleep in his crate with the door open. It’s his little safe haven! Foodie at Heart Oakley is highly food-motivated and takes treats very gently. He’s still getting the hang of what to do with chew bones, but he’s enthusiastic about learning!What Oakley Needs Most A patient, loving home A confident dog buddy A fenced yard A quieter environment with older, respectful kids A family that understands his shy side and will celebrate his sweet victoriesWith time, love, and stability, Oakley will reward you with unmatched loyalty and gentle affection.

Adopt Oakley and Receive Oakley's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Oakley's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Oakley's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Oakley, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Oakley's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Oakley was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Oakley’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Oakley’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Oakley’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
