Oakley is a magnificent 2-1/2 year old male Great Dane mix who was surrendered by his family on August 10, 2023.
This handsome guy has a black-and-white short smooth coat, long legs, a long tail, and an adorable face with Great Dane features. Oakley has expressive brown eyes, a large muzzle, a black button nose, and short floppy ears.
His family told us that Oakley is great with children of all ages. He is 'kinda' good with other dogs but may tend to be selective depending on the temperament of the other dogs. Oakley is very playful (like a big overgrown puppy), and he knows basic commands. Oakley has been kept indoors and is house-trained. He is sensitive/reactive if anyone grabs him by his collar or pulls him by his collar.
Oakley adored HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Jared Nash who accompanied him for outdoor photos on August 11, 2023. Oakley took cues from Jared and posed like a 'Best Of Show' Westminster contestant.
Oakley weighs approximately 80 lbs and is strong on the other end of a leash.
Oakley was neutered on August 16, 2021.
