9/24/08 Oakley has been in our foster
home for a month now and he is doing very well. He has really enjoyed
camping and hiking. Oakley is a curious boy, always following us around and
wondering what we're doing and listening intently in our backyard or on
hikes for birds, squirrels and other wildlife. He has made a buddy in the
Great Dane that lives next door and they really enjoy playing together. He
never, ever barks unless the vacuum cleaner is around! Oakley walks fairly
well on a leash, but we're still working with him when he gets distracted by
other dogs or critters. Oakley would do best in a home that can let
him out several times during the day. His eyes are as sweet as they come. He
is a young boy and does require a good amount of exercise (like all young
Boxers), but once he gets that he's a real snuggle bug. Apply today to adopt
Oakley!
6/24/08 Update on Oakley
Medically, he's doing well. He's gained 13 lbs. and has filled out
handsomely. His stool's are solid, he's gained weight, he sleeps through the
night. He needs medication once a day and a couple of meals throughout the
day to keep the weight on. Since he's started feeling better, he loves to
play with his toys and throw them around wherever he is. He also likes his
crate and will go in on his own if I'm doing something in the kitchen where
the crate is. Like most boxers, he likes to be near his people wherever they
might be. He likes riding in the car and enjoys drinking any iced tea left
by the driver in the cup holders. Also, he enjoys regular walks in the park.
What he doesn't seem to like are other male dogs. As he has gotten
well, he was not getting along with the other male in the foster home.
Because of that, his foster mom was forced to put Oakley in a kennel.
She had been thinking about adopting him, but the boys just didn't get
along.
What we need now is a foster or forever home without a male dog, where
Oakley can finish his recovery and find his forever home.
Will you be Oakley's hero?

Update - Oakley stopped
drinking and began throwing up on Thursday morning. After being seen by the
vet on Thursday and Friday, he was hospitalized Friday at the emergency vet
for IV fluids and to determine what the problem was. After many tests and
three nights at the hospital, they were able to find an obstruction in his
lower colon, which is very unusual for such a young boy. His colon was
cleaned out and he is doing much better now, but if the obstruction
continues, the next step will be surgery. Contributions for help with
Oakley's medical bills are urgently needed and will be greatly appreciated.
His medical bills over the past week have already reached $2000. Throughout
the past week, Oakley has shown himself to be a sweet and affectionate boy.
Thank you for considering Oakley and for your monetary contributions to help
with his medical expenses.

Oakley's a boxer that we took in about a few days ago who is now very
sick and has been hospitalized since Friday night. He came in very
underweight, and we will update you on his condition as soon as we learn
more.
We have a number of boxers that we are currently caring for and we could
use help with their medical bills. We can't do this without your help.
Thanks for whatever you can contribute. The boxers are depending on
you.

Oakley was found as a stray and ended up at the same Ohio kill shelter as
Daphne. He is estimated to be around 1-2
years old. Oakley is a sweetheart with soulful eyes that follow you
everywhere. He has beautiful markings and he has gotten along well with
everyone he has met.
Oakley is a tall and lanky boy. He is extremely thin right now and has
been diagnosed with colitis, which is very manageable with the right food.
Oakley is now in foster and we will update his page soon when we know more
about him. Thank you for your interest in Oakley! |
