Below is from Ann Dunn, Director at Oakland Animal Services.
I will be at the park today, at the main entrance (700 Jean St), from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. As the OAS director, I will have pretty limited availability to keep this going myself after today. I am hoping to give each of you sufficient orientation that you will feel comfortable to orient others, and that this can become a community effort. If you are available to help organize this and be a point of contact for new volunteers, please let me know.
Please use this schedule to sign up for a shift, and feel free to share this with other people who might be interested.
I am hoping we can get to a place where there are two people per shift, from 9 am- 5 pm, so no one is there solo. Animal Control Officers will be there as much as possible, but we have pretty limited resources, and they are stretched thin on calls from the community, so I don't want to over promise on that.
I got a wonderful response yesterday from most people who were hoping to enter the park, but were very understanding and supportive when they understood the reasons for the closure.
If I haven't already, I hope to get an opportunity to meet you in person.
Many thanks!
