If ever there was a dog in need of a fresh start, it’s Oakley. This two-year-old, black-and-white boxer/terrier mix was found abandoned on a farm between Red Deer and Edmonton, skinny, banged up, and in serious need of a second chance. Now, after some much-needed TLC, this handsome, playful, and full-of-life pup has made his way south to Calgary, ready to swap his farm dog days for a city adventure! Oakley is a fun-loving, active guy who’s always looking for the next big thing—whether that’s fetching, chasing toys, or just being in the middle of all the action. He’s got energy for days and would love a family that enjoys getting outside, playing, and including him in their daily activities. Got a backyard? Perfect. Love long walks? Even better. A teenager who wants a new best friend? Oakley’s all in. But here’s the thing—Oakley is still learning how to handle all the excitement that life throws at him. He can get overstimulated and has big feelings about small animals (aka, they must be chased). On walks, he might lunge at other dogs, and he’s still figuring out how to channel his enthusiasm without turning into a one-dog sled team. He’s also been known to vocalize his emotions (aka bark. A lot.) when left alone. The good news? He’s insanely food-motivated, eager to please, and a great candidate for training with an experienced, patient owner who can help him stay focused. Despite his quirks, Oakley is a lovebug at heart. He adores pets, attention, and just being part of the family. He’d do best in a home with older kids, active humans, and maybe even a well-matched dog sibling to help guide him. With structure, consistency, and plenty of love, this farm dog-turned-city pup has the potential to be an amazing, loyal companion. Are you ready to give Oakley the second chance he deserves?
