Oakley

My story

**Meet Oakley – The Sweetheart with the Crooked Smile and Olympic-Level Cuddling Skills** Oakley is the kind of dog who makes you believe in second chances, slow mornings, and the healing power of snuggles. She’s 55 pounds of pure love with a jawline that says, “I’m one in a million”—literally. Thanks to a quirky little crooked lower jaw (probably from birth), her tongue tends to hang out like it’s on vacation. It doesn’t slow her down one bit—it just makes her 10x more photogenic. At just 1 year old, Oakley has already mastered the fine art of being the *perfect couch potato*. She’s gentle, low-key, and would happily binge-watch an entire season of your favorite show without complaint—as long as she can be the little spoon. She’s a little shy at first (especially around men), but give her a little patience and maybe a treat or two, and you’ll unlock the cuddliest, most affectionate best friend you’ve ever had. Once she’s in, she’s *all in*—tail wags, face kisses, full-body leans… the works. Oakley enjoys casual strolls, sniffing the breeze, and pondering life under a shady tree. She’s not trying to climb mountains—she’s trying to climb into your lap. She’s also great with other dogs, sweet with kids, and has manners that would make your grandma proud (yes, she’s house trained and crate trained!). In short, Oakley is a shy girl with a big heart, a goofy tongue, and a love for soft blankets and even softer humans. She’s been waiting patiently for her forever people—could that be you? Adopt Oakley and get a loyal sidekick, a built-in snuggle buddy, and a smile that’s just a little bit crooked… but a whole lot perfect. Oakley may be timid at first, especially around men, but once she warms up to you, she is so affectionate and friendly. Submissive and easy-going, she is a true gem of a companion, and is the definition of couch potato who loves nothing more than snuggling up with her loved ones. Despite her initial shyness, Oakley is incredibly affectionate, outgoing, and loves showering her family with love and cuddles once she feels comfortable. She enjoys leisurely walks and spending quality time outdoors, reveling in the sights and sounds of the world around her. One of Oakley's unique features is her crooked lower jaw, which causes her tongue to stick out. This adorable quirk, possibly from birth, adds to her charm and individuality. However, it's important to note that this trait does not affect her health in any way—she is a happy and healthy pup ready to bring joy into your life. Oakley is a social butterfly who gets along well with other dogs and is great with kids, making her a wonderful addition to any family dynamic. Her tail wags a mile a minute every time you come home, showing just how much she adores her human companions and the love she has to give. Oakley is house trained and crate trained. She is a well-mannered pup who is ready to join your family with open paws. If you're seeking a loyal and loving companion who will bring endless joy and affection into your life, Oakley might just be the perfect match for you.
