Meet Oban
Oban – Calm, Independent, and Easygoing Oban is a 9-year-old Alaskan Malamute mix weighing 84 pounds. This sweet senior has a calm, independent personality and is wonderfully easy to handle. Easygoing on walks: Oban walks nicely on leash, with only occasional moderate pulling, enjoying leisurely walks and sniffing. Calm and independent: Oban is content doing his own thing. After some time sniffing around the yard, he happily settles and chills. He doesn’t seek out pets nor constant attention, but he remains calm and pleasant in his surroundings. Curious about the world: Oban sometimes takes an interest in people and dogs passing by, quietly observing what’s happening around him. Patient and tolerant: Oban showed an impressive amount of patience during a two-hour bath and brushing session, taking the experience in stride. Oban would be a great fit for someone who appreciates a calm, independent senior companion. He would do best with appropriately matched dogs, as a solo dog with appropriate dog friends.
