Oakley
5-Year-Old Female Yorkshire Terrier
Location: Decatur, IL
Oakley is a sweet little Yorkie who becomes more confident with each passing day. When the weather is nice, she enjoys spending time outside running the fence line with her foster fur siblings, keeping watch for strangers or the occasional rabbit. With the cold and snow, she’s much happier soaking up the warmth indoors, curled up in a cozy dog bed or snuggled close to her foster mom.
Inside the home, Oakley has truly found her stride. She enjoys comfy dog beds, loves sleeping in bed with her foster mom, and is a world-class cuddler. She often chooses to lay close while watching TV, happily soaking up attention. Once hesitant, Oakley is now an attention hog and will absolutely navigate obstacles to make her way into a lap.
Oakley is less fearful of strangers and does well with kids. She enjoys the company of other dogs and follows their lead, both for playtime and confidence. She has not been around cats. She’s a smart little girl who wants to please and continues to blossom in a loving home environment.
One of her favorite daily routines is sharing a couple bites of banana with her foster mom each morning — a sweet tradition that perfectly sums up her gentle, affectionate personality.
Oakley is a loving, loyal companion who is ready to bring warmth, cuddles, and a whole lot of love to her forever home.
Oakley’s requirements:
* A secure physical fenced yard
* Another friendly canine companion in the home
Oakley is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, recently received a dental, and is on monthly heartworm prevention.
