Hi. My name is Oakley and I am a 4 year old husky mix. I am great with dogs large and small, cats, and kids. I am spayed, house trained, and even know a few commands such as sit, holding for my food, and laying down. My owner has some recent medical diagnosis and isn't going to be able to care for me any more. I am sad but I know it's no fault of her own. I would love to have a yard to run in so I may stretch my long legs and maybe even a friend or two so I can play with but would be fine too if I was the only puppers in the house as well. Please consider me as your next addition to the family.
