Looking for a Playful, Loving Dog for Your Family? Oakley Is Waiting for You!

Oakley is our pet of the week. He is a mixed breed medium sized male dog, three years old: Oakley is the definition of a dog who loves to play and learn. He is an active dog who thrives on new adventures, learning new things, and exploring. He also loves water!

Any puddle, lake, stream, or pool, and Oakley is in it. He is an amazing dog who would love to join someone with an active lifestyle and continue learning and playing! Oakley has lived with other dogs and we believe could live with other dogs successfully.

Kimmypalooza Success:

In August, we featured our longest-stay dog, Kimmy Gibbler. She had been in our care for just under two years and leading up to her anniversary of two years, we did a countdown to highlight her every day. Kimmy came from a dog fighting court seizure and at just a year old came into shelter systems. She then came to our care after the case had ended and was “the most scarred dog” the shelter she came from had ever seen. Kimmy was in a loving foster home for most of her two years with us, but needed a permanent home. We are thrilled to share that just a few days into Kimmypalooza, she was adopted and is now thriving in her loving family. So much so that she already is snuggling up with her owners and playing in the yard like crazy. We are so thankful to her foster, her adopters, and the community that helped her get adopted and experience so much love.
