Adoptable Senior Dogs
Did you hear that we're waiving adoption fees for all our seniors for the rest of the year? We want to find these mature dogs a soft place to land by Thanksgiving - maybe it's with you? Although they may be a little older, seniors still have a lot of love to give, and we want to give them their best opportunity!
Check out our currently available seniors in this video, and see detailed profiles on our website (you can filter by age group to find all the senior dogs). tinyurl.com/OASDogs

Adoptable Pigeons at OAS!
Did you know pigeons make great pets? Many pigeons are quiet, laid back, loyal, and can be affectionate. They are one of the smartest species, can count as well as primates, and can recognize words. Pigeons are easy pets to take care of once you have everything set up. They will need an indoor cage or outdoor aviary, which will need regular cleaning. Pigeons would love out-of-cage time with you and enrichments, too. They love bird swings, something to climb on, and even love watching themselves in a mirror. If you are able to have a bonded pair, you can watch them groom each other and even kisses!
OAS has over 2 dozen pigeons and we’d love to find them in foster or furever homes. We are closed today but come by Saturday and Sunday from 12-3pm and ask to meet a pigeon or two. They would love to go home with you! Pigeon adoption fee is only $10 right now.

Adoptable Senior Dogs in Oakland
There's 14 days left until the Thanksgiving Holiday, and we're on a mission to get all of our senior dogs Home by Thanksgiving. So not only do we have this amazing video showing our currently available dogs who are in the "mature" age group, through the rest of the year, we are WAIVING adoption fees for all dogs 7 and up!
Senior dogs have fully established personalities and traits, so unlike a puppy, you know what you're getting! Many are still active and energetic, but they're also more inclined to hang out and nap with you if that's what you desire. They're all looking for a soft place to lay their heads for their golden years - maybe that's with you? Or if not with you, let all your friends know about this great opportunity to bring a wise old soul into your life!
You can see the profiles for all our available dogs on our website, and you can filter by age to find the senior dogs featured in this video who are eligible for this adoption fee waiver. Note that not all dogs are at the shelter; their profile will note if they're in a foster home and you will need to meet them by appointment.
Shelter resident dogs can be met during our open adoption hours: Thursdays noon-7 and Friday-Sunday noon-3, no appointment needed. [Note that we will be closed on November 11 for the Veterans day holiday]

We have videos of Sonja in the wild! Sonja is a great walking buddy. Sonja and foster dad often go on walks and get in about 2-3 miles at a time. She’s great on leash albeit not a speed walker! Take a gander of this video the foster dad sent us and volume up. And yes, Sonja even made a new friend. Although she’s not likely going to make the best farm dog since she’s picky about her animal friends… although for a the right patient family and work, you never know!
Sonja is a 6-year-old lovely girl (weighing 55 lbs) and ready to meet her furever family. She’s on call all this weekend! Come by during adoption hours and ask for Sonja. Or fill out an adoption form and send it in advance. More details are in the link in our bio “How to Adopt”!

Did you hear? It’s Sonja Day!Sonja is a sunbather and sun lover in every aspect. Her favorite thing to do is frolic in the sun, baking in Northern California’s finest. We were told by her foster dad that this velvet hippo’s primary goal in life is to lay in the sun. She’s not looking for a big yard but would love a home where she can hang in some kind of fenced-in yard so she can continue baking in the warm sun. You can find more on @sonjadog_oas ‘s Instagram page!Sonja is a chill and a relaxed girl who does well on her own for hours. No signs of separation anxiety here!Sonja is a 6-year-old lovely girl and ready to meet her furever family. She’s on call all this weekend! Come by during adoption hours and ask for Sonja.

Adoptable Kittens at Oakland Animal Services
We may not know exactly what you want in a babycat, but we almost guarantee that you can find it this weekend at Oakland Animal Services! Why are we so confident? Because we've got cats of all purr-sonalities and all stripes (and solids, and patches, too!). Tabby cats, hauspanthers, torties, gingers, tuxies, pirates, greybies, etc!). Check out just a few of our adoptable kittens in this video, and see profiles for many more on our website.
Better yet, just swing on by! We're open from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday for all your kitten adoption needs, at 1101 29th Avenue in Oakland. No appointment is necessary, just bring yourself and your interest in kittens!
Even better still is that kitten adoptions for the month of July are only $20 for one or $20 for a pair! We firmly believe kittens do best with a buddy, so our policy is to send kittens home in pairs; solo kittens can be adopted to a home with a resident younger cat.

Have you thought about adopting a guinea pig (or two)? Now's a great time because as of this moment, we've got a whopping 18 guinea pigs available to adopt! Adoption fees for guinea pigs are currently only $10 for one (or $10/ pair if you adopt two!)
There are lots of great reasons to adopt a guinea pig, here are just a few:
💛They’re Quiet
One great thing about guinea pigs is that they’re usually very quiet. You don’t have to worry about your neighbors complaining about the noise!
💛They’re Apartment-Friendly
Because guinea pigs are small, they often fall well within the size limits many apartment complexes have for pets. (Of course, you’ll still need to find out if your building allows cavies before adopting one.)
💛They’re Friendly
Many pocket pets are very timid, but cavies can be very personable. In fact, some of them really enjoy being petted and held. Your little furball may even sleep in your lap!
💛They Can Learn Tricks
Guinea pigs are quite smart. These guys can even learn some cute tricks, like turning in circles, jumping through hoops, or going into their cages when called.
💛They’re Gentle
Another reason that guinea pigs are great pets is that they are usually quite docile. This is one reason they are so often chosen as children’s pets.
💛Lots Of Options
Cavies come in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and coat lengths. Some even have curly fur!
💛Wheeks
Guinea pigs don’t make much noise, but when they do, it’s super cute. The official (okay, not so official) term for the sounds these little guys make is the wheek. Yes, it’s as adorable as it sounds.
💛They Don’t Need Much Room
Cavies do need some time out of their cages every day, but in general, they don’t need a lot of space. You may want to get a two-story cage: that way, you can double your pet’s space without taking up more of yours.
💛They Like Buddies
While some pocket pets do much better living alone, cavies are quite sociable, and are
Hi, Mr. Wonderful here. Have you been searching for me? I'm young, single and ready to mingle. If you're looking for someone to pay undivided attention to you, give you full-body hugs and kisses all day long, I am your guy.
I have a sensitive and soulful side so go slow on me. I mean, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you but let's get to know each other first. But you'll just melt looking into my wide-set amber eyes and I'll give you sweet kisses. I've been told I take treats oh so nicely and will even show off my GQ-esque sits.
Some also know me as a high-energy and active - I'm only about a year and a half old and would love to continue reward-based training. I love treats! I also am an excellent fetcher of balls. Maybe I'll even fetch your heart.
I’m coming from foster today and so meet me, I'll be at the shelter from 12-3pm. I can't wait to show you my goofy and gentle side.
❤️

Like a Diamond in the rough, this gem of a dog has so much to offer. She is a sweetheart once she’s comfortable and relaxed. She’s been a little overwhelmed at the shelter so we have been going slow with her. But she’s been opening up with us! And we have enjoyed getting to know this lovely lady. Diamonds are girls best friend, but this Diamond is everyone’s best friend!
Diamond is a sweet and loving dog with a good balance of affectionate and independent. Loves to play and has been benefiting from playgroups. Knows sit and learning more commands with our volunteers. Great on leash, too!
Diamond is a bright and sparkly rare gem! Waiting be to be discovered by the right family.
Come meet Diamond tomorrow. Adoption hours are 12-3pm on Sunday.

Looking for a hiking buddy and sweet companion? J Rock is an 8 year old cattle dog mix looking for a calm and quiet home. He’s not exactly ready for half marathon but not a couch potato, either.
J Rock isn’t crazy about other dogs and asks to be the only pet at home.
We know the right home is out there for J Rock. Please share and tell people about this adoptable dog. He is counting on you!

Adopt Chai
Hi! My name is Chai and I have been in a foster home for a while now. I love my foster family very much and they love me, but they will be moving at the end of the month and cannot take me with them. My foster says I am wonderful!
I love people and cuddling.
I enjoy food but don't steal any that's not for me.
I "sit" and "stay".
I love catching and then chewing tennis ball, which is a fun game for me.
I am crate trained, house trained, and ride well in the car.
I like quiet walks around the neighborhood and squeaky toys, too.
I even enjoy watching TV!
And as you can see, my absolute favorite activity is snuggling with blankets and receiving belly rubs.
Can you foster me? I make an awesome WFH buddy and would prefer to be the only dog in the house. I am 3 years old and weigh 49 pounds.
