Here's what the humans have to say about me:
OAKLEY is a 1-year-old neutered male black lab. Oakley weighs 54 pounds and is up to date on shots. This dog is approved for homes with children ages 7 and up.
DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION Costa and Oakley showed up at a nice person's house very scared. They tried to locate an owner then asked the shelter and subsequently the SPCA for help. We feel like they had been dumped and poor Costa still has a few pieces of buckshot in his body. Costa and Oakley are friendly, energetic, fun boys! We have had them in foster for a while now and we feel they would love to stay together as they really love each other, but we will consider adopting to a home with another confident, playful dog as they do also really enjoy their fosters pups. They love people and are very affectionate. They have gorgeous, shiny coats and adorable faces and BIG feet! Costa is the more shy of the two and he is really frightened by loud noises (probably because of the fact he was shot). He is good in his crate and has not had any accidents at the foster so far. Costa walks well on leash when walked with Oakley, or another dog, but needs a little more work when walking on his own. He loves other dogs and the foster's young son. No cat history but was scared of the cats at the vet LOL. Approved for kids 7 and up.
Update: This one year-old boy has brought such incredible love and personality to his foster home. Now he's ready to bring all that fun and love to his forever home. He is quite well behaved, enjoys playing with the other dogs or relaxing with a toy. Foster mom says he keeps them constantly laughing and amuses them with his sweetness. He gets so excited when he has a toy or a bone to carry around like he won a prize. He is so proud of himself! Are you looking to add a very sweet one year old boy to your loving home!?!
