Oakley - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Black Labrador Retriever Dog Available for Adoption in Fries, Virginia

Oakley is a sweet senior Blue Heeler/Lab mix with the kindest soul and a heart big enough for everyone he meets. He has truly never met a stranger and loves every person, dog, and animal that crosses his path. While we sadly do not know much about his past, we do know that he deserves the very best future.

Since being in our care, Oakley has been neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. He has been nothing but an absolute gentleman every step of the way. Even though he may be a little older, Oakley still enjoys going for walks and taking in the world around him. He walks beautifully on a leash and is calm, easygoing, and happy just being by your side.

Oakley also rides quietly in the car because, simply put, anywhere you are is exactly where he wants to be. He is incredibly loyal and naturally sticks close to his people, often not even needing a leash because he happily follows wherever you lead him.

If you are looking for a gentle, loving companion with a calm demeanor and endless affection to give, Oakley is ready to be someone’s very best friend.
