Oakland is an 8-year-old, 8-pound former breeder who is ready to enjoy the life he’s always deserved. This sweet lover boy adores snuggling—his favorite place is tucked right up against your neck.

He’s not fully house trained yet but is making progress, and with a little patience and consistency, he’ll get there. Oakland also loves playing with other dogs and would enjoy having a canine companion in his new home.

[NOTE: We are a rescue NOT a shelter, meaning WE DO NOT HAVE A FACILITY THAT OPENS TO THE PUBLIC. Typically, an application and home visit (both of which are required for adoption) MUST be completed, BEFORE a potential adopter will be introduced to one of our pets, in order to first determine that our basic adoption requirements are met, prior to introductions being made. We also utilize personal reference and vet checks (to ensure that any pets already in the potential adoptive home are current on vaccines, heart worm prevention and sterilized) in our adoption process, all of which is intended to ensure that the best match, between pet and people, is made. The adoption fee is based on on the dog's age.
