Adoptable dog Pumpkin!
Meet Pumpkin! This sweet gal loves to play and loves the friends she's made at the shelter, including Boogie (who is not currently available to adopt). Pumpkin is about four years old and weighs in at 68 lbs. Because she plays enthusiastically, we're recommending she go to a home with older children only, and with another tolerant dog who is okay with her energy!

Volunteer Appreciation Week
Happy volunteer appreciation week! Our volunteers do so much for OAS, including running our social media accounts. This post is written by a staff member, although we still needed help from an amazing volunteer Julianne to put all the pics into a beautiful slideshow! At OAS, we rely so much on volunteers to operate on a day-to-day basis, from socializing animals, assisting visitors, enrichment activities, adoption visits, offsite events, taking photos and videos, website updates, social media, laundry and dishes, transfers and transports, yard work, and so much more.
We are currently operating in a unique way without any volunteers at the shelter, and we are absolutely missing all our volunteers. As OAS staff, we are so grateful to work with such an incredibly dedicated and talented group of volunteers. THANK YOU all for everything you do for our shelter and community! We truly appreciate you and can’t wait to see all of you again soon!
Mama cat and newborns
Well, hello mama! The recent arrival of this lovely gal and her teeny tiny charges means that we're getting into kitten season and we can use your help with items from our wish list. Underage kittens like this go to foster homes until they're ready for adoption (typically in the 2-3 month range - we want them to be healthy and big enough for their spay or neuter surgery). Mama will of course get spayed once the kittens are weaned - her mothering days are over!
We send our fosters home with supplies including food, scales to monitor kitten growth, formula (if mama cat is not around), frothers to mix up formula, and warming discs to keep the little ones at a safe temperature.
If you can help us, check out our Amazon wish list to donate any of these items to help the wee ones in our care. Kitten items include:
-Royal Canin Feline Health Nutrition Mother and Babycat (wet and dry)
-Milk Frothers
-Fortiflora Feline Nutritional Supplement
-SnuggleSafe heating pads
You can buy from Amazon (or your preferred retailer) and have items shipped directly to the shelter at 1101 29th Avenue Oakland 94601. We thank you and our tiny kittens thank you!

Zeus is adopted!
Zeus's foster family couldn't resist his goofy charm and has decided to make it official. Congrats to Zeus for finding your forever home!
Carmen's recovery!
Remember Carmen? We recently asked you to contribute to her surgical fund. We wanted to share an update about how great her recovery is going in her foster home - check out how well she's moving already with her fixed-up pelvis! We're still taking donations for Carmen's surgical fund if you're able to donate, see the link below.
Carmen will need a few more weeks of recovery in her foster home before she's available to adopt. Keep an eye all our available dogs on our site!

Adoptable cat Astro
Do you speak fluent boy cat? Looking for a giant golden-eyed hunk to join your household? Ready to deal with an overgrown kitten in a big cat sized body? Then we think Astro is the perfect cat for you! Astro will need an experienced person who can read his sometimes conflicting body language and respond appropriately. He'll need someone who can handle the fact that he has basically two speeds: fast and really fast! He's still learning how to love gently, but he really does want to love! As a bonus, a secret admirer has sponsored Astro's adoption fee, which means you've got that much more for the toy fund to help keep Astro entertained!
If you've got what it takes to handle an Astro in your life, email [email protected] to set up an appointment with this awesome guy!
