About Oakes
Dogs – Meet & Greet
Cats – Oakes is not a feline fan
Kids – Best suited for a home with adults who understand his gentle, sensitive nature.
Oakes is a sensitive soul with a heart full of love, just waiting for the right person to see it. He came to us as a stray, and while the world can still feel a little big and overwhelming, he's learning that people can be pretty wonderful-especially the ones with mini marshmallows. (He's got impeccable catching skills. Seriously, toss one, and he won't miss.)
This sweet boy already knows how to sit and is eager to keep learning, but he needs a little patience and a lot of kindness as he settles into home life. Because he's on the shy side, he's looking for a quieter home with adults who will let him come out of his shell at his own pace.
If you have a resident dog, we'd love to set up a meet-and-greet at the shelter to see if they could be a good match. Oakes may take some time to adjust, but once he trusts you, you'll have a loyal, loving companion who just needed a little extra understanding to shine.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
