OWNER PLACEMENT//LIVES WITH OWNER AND THE OWNER WILL HAVE
THE RIGHT TO DECIDE PLACEMENT ALONG WITH SCHNAUZER RESCUE.
Oakley (SRC3215) is an 8-year-old, neutered Mini Schnauzer male weighing 21 pounds. Oakley is a salt and pepper male whose soulful eyes cause you to fall in love him at first sight! His current owners were fortunate enough to bring Oakley into their home as a precocious pup during 2017. As a puppy, he came from a breeder located in the state of Florida. Oakley quickly became their beloved family companion. Obviously, his human parents loved him because just look at his sweet face. In addition, he is great with humans and does well with other animals once the meet and greet has been established. Unfortunately Oakley’s loving parents have had serious changes in their schedule so they know they are no longer able to provide him with the consistent time, attention and structure which Oakley was used to. A heartbreaking decision was made to find Oakley a home with a family who are able to provide the loving care he deserves. In preparing to find Oakley a wonderful adoptive home, they have provided information about him which will help prospective adoptive parents to make a decision as to whether or not they are able to provide all Oakley has been used to and deserves.
Temperament and Training
· Oakley understands and responds to several commands which include:
sit, lay down, leave it, stay, up (stands or onto something), cage/go to bed, back (to back up). He also responds to a whistle and will return to his human should he take off. Using short "cht" noises to do the opposite of what he is doing at the moment should you want him to stop.
· He is crate trained and settles well once he adjusts.
· He is housebroken, so he is currently accustomed to a routine of morning and evening potty breaks.
Personality, Habits, and Preferences
· Oakley is very friendly with other dogs, but he does get overly excited when meeting them. He could benefit from continued socialization. Despite this excitement, he is not aggressive and usually submits if another dog reacts negatively.
· He loves going outside, being part of household activities, and enjoys attention from people (Will find your hand to give him pets).
· He barks when confined too early in the evening or in the morning when ready to come out, which we believe comes from being cooped up during the day while his owners are at work.
· He has not shown any aggression toward people or other pets.
· Oakley enjoys chew toys, treats (Frozen, cheek roles, and Yak cheese are his favorite), and time outdoors.
Prospective adopters should either work from home or be retired with energy enough to provide Oakley with lots of interaction, and playtime outside. He would benefit from an adoption where the home has a secure fenced yard although he should never be left alone in the yard.
OAKLEY LIVES IN MONROE, NC AND YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO DRIVE TO THAT LOCATION IN ORDER TO PICK THE DOG UP THERE WHEN HE IS ADOPTED .
