My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

 

Meet Oakley! She really is wonderful – the perfect package!  She is happy, loving, silly, and absolutely beautiful. She is around 3 yrs old. 

She thinks she is a tiny lap dog!  She wants to sit on you and give you kisses!  She loves her people and wants to be with them as much as she can.

Oakley LOVES to sleep in bed with her human foster parents, and sometimes enjoys the nearby cool tile floor.

She is friendly with kids.  She tends to jump when she’s excited, so it’s best if her forever home doesn’t have very small children.

She is very playful with humans and other dogs. She loves a game of fetch in the backyard.  She loves romping with her furry foster siblings and is always trying to get them to play with her.

She is a little bit of a thief! If you leave clothes or shoes on the floor, she will likely find them and take them to the living room. She doesn’t ever do anything with them, but she likes to relocate them for you!

She loves toys!  She loves her duck toys the best!  She will play fetch or just carry them around the house, sometimes she even brings them to bed with her.  She has a few favorites that we will send with her forever family if the toys are still in one piece when she is adopted!

Oakley’s ideal family will be active, exercise her a lot, and include her in family outings.  She could be a great running buddy for someone!  She has a lot of energy and even does well running alongside as you ride your bicycle! She takes plenty of naps throughout the day as well.

She would thrive in a home with another playful dog friend. She does great with the male and female dogs in her foster home. We have not noticed any issues with smaller dogs, but because she does like to jump and play hard, her dog housemates should be close to her size or bigger.

She might do fine as an only dog if she is exercised a lot.

We feed her separately from other dogs in the house, as we were told she was food aggressive.  She does fine sharing water bowls.

Oakley is house trained, but seems reluctant to directly indicate when she needs to go out.  When she paces throughout the house, that’s her cue that she needs to go outside.  Her foster parents make sure she gets outside every couple of hours as she gets used to being an indoor pampered pooch.

We are still working on leash etiquette. She loves walks, and loves to sniff everything, but does get overly excited to see other dogs. She will bark fiercely if they are across the street but is super friendly if she’s allowed to meet them.

She loves car rides.
  
She doesn’t bark very much, mainly at other dogs or animals outside.

She has a tiny amount of storm anxiety; she just stays near her humans and is totally fine.

She easily goes in her crate when guided. It’s not her favorite place, but she doesn’t put up a fight and settles easily.

Oakley is very smart.  A little professional training would go very well with her and make her even more perfect.

Her DNA results revealed that she has 8 breeds creating her genetic makeup, 5 of which are 70% Great Pyrenees, 19% Maremma Sheepdog, 2% Australian Cattle Dog, 2% German Shepherd Dog, 2% Chow Chow.

SPIN Pyrs are all in foster homes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  Adoption fees are $300 for dogs under 1 year old, $250 for dogs 1-7 years old, $200 for dogs over 7 years old. Potential adopters are asked to make travel arrangements if they live elsewhere. All SPIN dogs are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations and on heartworm prevention. Please go to our website www.SpinRescue.org and fill out an application for this great Great Pyrenees!
