My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Oak!

Oak is a young adult, 35lb Pointer mix.

Oak has been going to training classes during his time here and has already grown so much. He knows basic commands and enjoys playing and learning with other dogs.

He likes to stay close by his person and always knows where you are. Sometimes when you think, "where did he go" you feel a wet nose on your hand for a brief second. His way of saying "I'm right here, silly!"

Best Qualities: When asked by the staff what his best qualities are they said he's gentle, a great listener, very smart and easily trainable.

His perfect day:
To wake up in a safe environment, he can be fearful with new people and places. Then go on a nice long walk, where he doesn't pull on the leash and watches you almost the whole time with his big beautiful eyes. After his walk he'd probably want to nap in a comfy, cozy little spot, maybe curled up to his favorite human or doggie brother or sister.

Fun Fact:
Oak has siblings here! Two brothers, Spruce and Linden and a sister, Willow.

Oak would thrive in a home with a family that can be patient with him and help him gain confidence. He can be a little dog selective because of his shyness so if you're interested and have pets already Oak would want to have a doggy meet and greet first, then once he felt comfortable, he could play all day!

If you're interested in meeting with or adopting Oak, please submit an adoption application at https://foothillshumanesociety.org/adopt/adoption-application/ and our adoption team will reach out to you for a possible appointment!
