It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Oakley. Oakley suffered with a rare genetic condition that proved to be too much. Oakley was the sweetest girl and loved being the Bark greeter, hanging out with her friends, running and sniffing and doing anything with her family. Her loss leaves a huge whole in our world. We love you Oakley Marie ❤️
