Oakley joined TOESR as the result of a reluctant owner release. Unselfishly the family determined that living quite a bit of his life crated and without proper exercise wasn't the optimum life for a very young, large sheepdog. Our first responsibility to Oakley involved having him shaved down, neutered and having his shots updated. Then the search began for the perfect home for this smart and loving dog.

It didn't take long for the applications and phone calls to start coming in. And while there were several great homes offered, one in particular stood out. Ellen and Larry, recent East Coast transplants, had lost their prior OES and were ready to welcome another. We want to thank Kerry, Remus, Gwen, Jim, Joanne, and most of all, Ellen and Larry for giving this great dog a new chance at a full, happy life.
