Story
Oakley Bubs has the kind of big brown soulful eyes that make you pause and look twice. They’re soft, expressive, and seem to hold an entire story behind them. Pair those beautiful eyes with his oversized satellite ears and gentle little face, and it’s nearly impossible not to feel drawn to him. He may be incredibly handsome, but it’s his quiet, tender nature that will truly steal your heart.
If Oakley were a feeling, he would be that moment when you finally get home, change into your comfiest clothes, and settle onto the couch after a long day. He’s peaceful, comforting, and perfectly content with the simple things in life. Give him a soft place to land, a sunny patch of grass, and someone who understands that the best relationships sometimes take a little time, and Oakley will be one happy boy.

Oakley is approximately 3 years old and currently weighs around 64 lbs pounds. We believe he may be a Husky/lab mix, but with animal rescue, breed and age are always a mystery and our best guesses. Whatever his DNA may be, it gave him an unforgettable face, the cutest oversized ears, and one incredibly tender soul.
Oakley moves through life at a slower, more peaceful pace. He’s gentle, low energy, and wonderfully easygoing. He’s happiest stretched out on the couch, soaking up the sunshine in the backyard, or rolling around in the grass without a care in the world. He doesn’t need a packed social calendar or nonstop entertainment. Oakley is simply happy to be near the people he loves, enjoying the quiet moments together.
When meeting someone new, Oakley can be shy and likes to take his time deciding that everything is safe. He isn’t the kind of dog who will immediately rush over and climb into your lap, but watching his trust grow is incredibly special. During our time with him, we watched him slowly move closer, begin leaning into affection, relax while being petted, and eventually sneak in a few gentle kisses. Once Oakley feels comfortable, his walls begin to come down and the sweetest boy starts peeking through.
Oakley has also done wonderfully with the dogs we’ve introduced him to. He’s more of a quiet companion than the life of the party and prefers sharing space with other dogs over constantly playing with them. He does like to play enjoys games of chase and will engage in wrestle matches too when he’s feeling playful. That’s just not him 24/7. He’s good mix of the two and leans closer to the chill calm side. If Oakley shares his home with another dog, we think he would be happiest with a calm, low-key friend who wants company without expecting a full-time wrestling partner 24/7.
Inside the house, Oakley has been an absolute gentleman. He is crate trained, remains quiet in his crate, has wonderful house manners, and hasn’t had any accidents. Toys haven’t caught his attention just yet, but we think he may still be learning what it means to feel safe enough to relax and simply enjoy being a dog.
Treats, however, are a different story. They are one of the easiest ways to begin winning Oakley over. At first, he may watch you carefully and make you prove that you’re trustworthy. Then, little by little, he’ll make his way over and gently take treats from your hand. He has the softest mouth, and seeing him become brave enough to approach is one of those small moments that feels like a huge victory.
Oakley would love a home with a backyard where he can continue perfecting his sunbathing, grass-rolling, and professional lounging skills. Because he is so quiet and low energy, he may also do well in a peaceful apartment or condo located in a more residential area. Busy city life with constant noise and activity probably wouldn’t be his favorite, but a calm neighborhood with leisurely walks and plenty of time to decompress would suit him beautifully.
Oakley may not hand you his whole heart the moment you meet him, but give him patience, kindness, and the freedom to move at his own pace, and he’ll begin offering it to you one little piece at a time. He’s looking for someone who will appreciate his quiet nature, celebrate every step forward, and show him that he never has to rush again. In return, you’ll gain a gentle companion, a world-class couch potato, and the sweetest best friend to share all of life’s peaceful moments with.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
