My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more here


Hey there, lovely people! I'm Aunti Bella, and I'm here to share my story with you. I may be a senior gal, but let me assure you, I've got plenty of sass and sweetness to offer! Just take a look at my cute little overbite and my adorable pink booper. People can't resist telling me how adorable I am! And you know what? I absolutely thrive on attention. Spending time with humans is my absolute favorite thing. I soak up all the pets and cuddles, and don't even get me started on those tasty treats. Yum!

When it comes to furry friends, I have my preferences. I get along great with easygoing dogs, as long as they understand that I'm the boss of the play yard. After all, I've got a reputation to uphold! As for my age, well, I'm a mature lady of around 10 years old, and I weigh a little over 45 pounds. Perfect for cozy snuggles!

Oh, did I mention my impeccable manners? I walk like a pro on a leash, and I always make sure to behave myself. Well, almost always. Sometimes, when I see other dogs, I might get a little chatty, but who can blame me? A few tasty treats can easily redirect my attention. And speaking of treats, I'm a foodie through and through. If there's one thing that motivates me, it's the promise of delicious goodies. But you know where you can find me when I'm not out on walks? My favorite spot on the couch! I could spend hours there, snoozing away and dreaming sweet dreams. Ah, bliss!

Now, let me give you a few details about myself: I'm house and crate trained, though I must admit, I'm a bit of a couch potato at heart. I can handle being alone for 4-5 hours without any issues. I'm a pretty independent gal. I absolutely adore people, and I get along great with kids, even the little ones who are full of energy. They bring so much joy! Daily walks and hikes are my jam. I'm always up for some outdoor adventures and exploring new places. I must confess, I can get a little excited on the leash when I see other dogs or cats. I do get along with other respectful dogs! In fact, I recently had a fantastic time in a playgroup at OAS.

So here I am, a true treasure in search of my forever home. I deserve a warm and loving place where I can shine and be cherished. If you're ready to open your heart and offer me the love and care I deserve, don't wait another moment. Let's create beautiful memories together.

Their adoption process

Submit Application

If you are interested in adopting this pet, please submit an application: https://www.oaklandanimalservices.org/adopt/how-to-adopt/

Additional adoption info

Thank you for considering adopting a shelter pet! There are two ways to adopt:
1. Visit our shelter (1101 29th Ave) Saturday or Sunday from 12-3pm, when we are open for adoptions.
2. Use our online process as described at www.oaklandanimalservices.org Adoptions are first-come-first-served. While we try our best to get back to everyone via our online process, sometimes it takes several days or a week or two, and the pet you are interested in may get adopted during our open adoption hours.

Please note that inquires submitted through this website about this pet may not receive an immediate response due to the large volume of inquires we receive. If you are interested in adopting this pet, please submit an adoption application to be considered.

Adoption requirements:
- You must be 18 years of age or older with a valid California driver’s license or other acceptable identification
- Never have had any cruelty convictions, animal control violations or broken any adoption contracts in the past
- Agree to and sign the “Statement of Adopter” on the adoption questionnaire which includes a waiver of liability
- Pay the adoption fees and applicable licensing fees. Fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchip
- All animals, including rabbits, must be spayed or neutered. If the pet you are interested in adopting is not yet spayed/neutered, a staff member will discuss next steps with you

Additional information for dog adopters:
- Other canines in the home must meet the new dog prior to adoption.
- Provide proof of home ownership or permission to have a dog from your landlord. We cannot hold the dog that you want to adopt while you try to meet this requirement.
- Agree to a home inspection if the dog is a large breed dog or dog that has been identified to need additional attention.
- Be aware of the Oakland and State Laws about dog ownership.

We do not place adoption holds on any animals.

More about this shelter

As the city of Oakland’s sole open-admissions animal shelter, Oakland Animal Services’ duties are as diverse as the community we serve. Operating on the leanest of budgets, Oakland Animal Services (OAS) operates the city’s animal control unit, enforcing animal welfare and public safety laws, provides care for stray and surrendered animals, supports lost pet searches and reunions, and facilitates the placement of homeless animals via public adoptions and coordination with transfer partners near and far. The needs of the community are great, but so are the results of a job well done: the enhancement of quality of life for humans and animals alike.
