OAKLEE

OAKLEE is currently in the Montreal area. 

OAKLEE is a spunky, playful dog. She loves her family. She enjoys dog parks, running across open fields and her favorite game is to play catch with a tennis ball.

OAKLEE was born in Lebanon as one of RDL-C's rescue dogs. At the time, she was the shyest of all of the puppies. The most timid. She was adopted as a puppy by a family in Montreal. They have had OAKLEE for 2.5 years. OAKLEE is anxious around strange new things and the family has struggled with some of OAKLEE's more challenging traits. Unfortunately, they can no longer keep her and are looking to rehome her.

OAKLEE is a great dog but she also has a strong personality and can be nervous/anxious around new people, new dogs or new situations. She is very affectionate with people she knows but because she is fearful of new people, her reactions appear to be aggressive. She can also display some resource guarding which is why she is fed in her crate.

Personality:  Friendly, affectionate, playful, nervous/anxious, fearful, active/energetic, loyal.

OAKLEE would benefit from an experienced adopter who will give her time to decompress (decompression time will be very important to OAKLEE so she can adapt to her new surroundings) and form a bond with her new family. She has done obedience training and her current adopter says she walks nicely on leash, sits, stays and comes when called. She does enjoy dog parks even if reactive to dogs on leash. She likes her crate and will eat and sleep in it.

We also know that OAKLEE loves her salmon and beef kibbles. Her favorite toys are a Kong monkey and squirrel toy. She would definitely need a fenced backyard and possibly country living as she does need regular exercise on top of her walks. OAKLEE is not a social butterfly and would not do well in a household with a lot of family and friends coming in and out of the house. Ideally, her adopter will have a more quiet but active lifestyle to match this energetic girl. 

Currently lives with her adopter and his family.
