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

Introducing Bishop, the big, fun, and slobbery sweetheart you've been searching for! With an ultra-friendly demeanor and a heart so willing to please, Bishop is guaranteed to bring endless joy and laughter into your life.

His recall is top-notch, and he takes treats like a champ, knowing sit like a pro. But above all, Bishop is just a big ol' sweetheart who adores receiving pets on his face and soaking up all the love and affection he can get.

Fosters say he is one easy house guest who knows how to use the dog door and can be left alone for several hours. He is a low to medium energy boy who love to snooze and meander on walks. He LOVES to snuggle and is a total shadow. Got treats? Boy, does he love food!

During his time at the shelter, Bishop met some polite and social dogs, but he's mostly independent and likely prefers to be the sole recipient of your love and attention. At 4 years old and 65 pounds, he's the great blend of sweet and easy-going, making him an ideal companion for anyone looking for a loyal and affectionate furry friend.

With his attentive nature and eagerness to please, Bishop is ready to steal your heart and become your loyal companion for life. Follow this lovable goofball in foster with @myhellacutefoster on Instagram! Click here to learn how to adopt, and submit your adoption questionnaire.

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.
