Husky and Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Springfield, Tennessee

Oakley is a moderately low energy pup. She prefers to be with her person when outdoors and will "herd" her humans around by walking in circles around them. She knows how to settle on her own when inside. She also knows how to entertain herself with toys when inside.

Oakley walks with a loose lead but needs some reassurance to remain confident on the leash. Oakley responds best to gentle verbal correction. She knows how to sit on command and does not yet know her name, so changing her name should be easy. Oakley is motivated best by praise but does take treats gently when they are offered to her.

Oakley does well with men, women, and children. She maintains positive body language with other dogs when outside of the kennels but is fearful of other dogs when walking through the kennel environment. Oakley allows full body handling/petting.

Oakley has passed her dog testing and food testing within the shelter.URGENT
