Here's what the humans have to say about me:
The owner of Oakley could no longer provide care for him as he became overwhelmed as more family is staying at the home. He’s an adorable 1 1/2 year old little guy seeking a serene home environment with a female owner (preferably without frequent visitors or children), as he tends to prefer female company over male. He is housetrained, leash trained, crate trained, does not chew things, is relaxed on car rides, does not like kids, grooming, or loud noises (fireworks etc.), loves to fetch his ball and play with his stuffed toys. He forms strong bonds swiftly and has experience living with another dog, but the best chance for adoption success lies in being the sole pet.
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application found at caninerescue.org. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
