Story
Meet Oakley!
Hi, I’m Oakley! Oakley was the name my previous family named me. My new foster mom calls me that too, but sometimes calls me Fozzy Bear. Some people refer to me as a designer dog, more specifically a “cavachon,” but in reality, I’m a wonderful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Bichon Frise mix, and I weigh only 20 pounds. I spent my whole life with my previous family, and I’m an adult dog now (6, actually).
Unfortunately for me, I fell down the stairs in the beginning of August 2023 and hurt my back. Ever since then, I have difficulty being able to control my body like I used to. Currently, my back legs drag when I move and I need reminders to slow down when I see a tennis ball, so I don’t tear up the skin on my back legs. I also need bladder expressions, but I’m a very good boy for those. My foster mom is willing to teach anyone how to do that, it’s very simple once you see how it’s done. I’m hoping to get a wheelchair soon so that I can really run again in the backyard with my other dog siblings. I love to follow you and be wherever you are in the home. I get sad when you leave the house, but settle quickly. In my former home, I lived with 2 very small children and was said to do well with them. I have met some medium sized children and I like them too. I get along great with other dogs, but I haven’t met any cats. I love car rides and don’t mind feeling the wind through my fur. I also went to a park in a stroller and I really liked seeing things from a high perspective, as long as my foster mom didn’t stray too far from me! So let’s cut to the chase and make this midlife crisis a positive one to find my new forever home!
*Oakley is being foster in Sturgeon Bay.
