Oakes’ Rescue Story
Oakes grew up as a stray. He lived on food set out by volunteers on a regular basis. He caught the volunteer’s attention for always waited patiently on the side for his turn to eat, never fight over food with other dogs. Most neighbors were friendly to him, they would pet him and play with him, but no one wanted to take the responsibility of raising him. But one neighbor was bothered by seeing strays in their neighborhood; he asked the volunteer to stop feeding strays and threatened to call in the animal control.
Desperately, the volunteer turned to us for help. We took Oakes in and found him a foster while preparing him for adoption. Under loving foster care, Oakes learns everything quickly, whilst received good training and proper socialization.

Oakes is a healthy boy; he was neutered, with up to date vaccinations and microchip. He is patiently waiting for his future forever home. Please watch his videos to learn more about this happy and faithful young pup. Oakes would be a great companion for any type of family that welcomes him!
