Oakie ~ Miniature Fox Terrier (on trial 23/6/18)

My name is Oakie and I am a gorgeous white and black 7 month old male Miniature Fox Terrier with some beautiful orange markings on my face. I am very energetic and healthy and weigh 3.4 kg.

I love humans and kids (all ages) and animals and just want to be loved with cuddles, hugs, kisses and lots of playtime with another dog, preferably a boy. I really want to be with another small male dog under 10kg and I don’t care what breed. I am currently living with 5 other dogs all under 12kg (deaf Maltese, Jack Russell and 3 Chi’s). We all get on magnificently but I am best friends with the 2 boys (Maltese and one of the Chi’s) and like playing and wrestling with them.

I am untested with cats so I don’t know if I like them or not.

I am toilet trained and go in and out from the house to the back yard via a doggy door (with a plastic flap), and love food including the occasional smacko, nightly dentastix and puppy milk. This puppy milk gives me so much energy – yum yum yum. I am still learning how to sit on command but I am slowly making progress.

I walk on a lead but still need more practice. I know that my new family will walk me regularly. I also love to travel in a car with no problems whatsoever.

I must sleep inside every night and would prefer to sleep in a bed with a human being - please don’t kick me out of a bed as I have never experienced that.

I refuse to go to a home where:
(1) nobody is home all day
(2) I am put outside the house day or night for lengthy times
(3) I don’t have another doggy mate.
(4) I am going to be locked outside

I believe that I am a brilliant little boy who deserves nothing but the best home.

I do need some strong verbal guidance occasionally as I can get a bit over excited or too possessive for my owner – (I get a bit jealous of the other dogs getting attention) – this is why I don’t really want to live with more than 1 other dog.

I don’t bark much, jump fences, dig holes, or bite. I am fine left at home for a while but have not really been tested for a lengthy stint as my foster dad is home most of the time and has only ever left me with the other 5 pooches for about 2 hours.

My foster carer Don has told me that he is not in any hurry to adopt me out and that he will look after me until I find the perfect home no matter how long that may take. He is so wonderful to me and I know that I give him a lot of joy too. Between you and me I know that he will be extremely upset when I leave.

For more information or to meet Oakie, please contact his foster dad Don by phoning 0429082582 or emailing him on v8supercarrick@hotmail.com Oakie is in foster care in Newcastle area, NSW and is available for adoption interstate.

Oakie’s adoption fee is $500 and he is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and lifetime registered.
