Oatey (aka Oliver) - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Akron, Ohio

Oatey, aka Oat Milk Latte, is a little 11-12 year old lovemuffin mix! This senior charmer is seeking his forever family - all he needs is a neck to nuzzle and someone to scratch behind his sweet, floppy ears.

While he is technically a senior, Oatey's powdered sugar face is the only clue that this little man is 11. He has so much energy and spunk! He loves walks, playing chase with his foster dog brothers, and meeting new friends.

He does well on leash and is an absolute pro at meeting new dogs, kids, and strangers. His foster family says they have never seen a dog this skilled at making friends wherever he goes! He greets new dog friends with calm body language, gentle sniffs, and he has charmed canines of every size (and humans too!).

Oatey is energetic and playful, but also adores a good cuddle! He follows his foster parents around like a little shadow and just wants to be near them. He loves to luxuriously lounge with his belly out, waiting for rubs. At 17lbs, he is truly the perfect little compact companion.

Due to some medical neglect in his past, Oatey had to have all of his teeth removed but he doesn't seem to care at all. He is happy eating soft food and treats (at a neighborhood barbeque he discovered how much he loves blueberries and watermelon!) and doesn't let his gums slow him down!

Oatey does so well with other dogs that it might be a bit sad for him to be an only-dog, and because of that his ideal home has at least one other dog friend in it. He has done well with all ages of humans too - so his only requirement for his forever home is a place where he will be loved and never given up again. He is so deserving of a playful, loving, and comfortable home to spend his senior years in.

Oatey's adoption fee is $150. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and current on heartworm & flea prevention. Apply today at www.rescue330.org.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
