Story
Meet Kairo, a young Malinois who somehow managed to max out both his “brain” and “beauty” stats—and still had points left over for goofiness. Adventures, exercise, and exploring the world may be high on his to-do list—but once he’s gotten his wiggles out, he’s all about snuggles and softness for his favorite people. Whether he’s mastering new tricks, inventing his own games, or just supervising whatever you’re doing, he’s always ready for action. He’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and still curl up beside you at the end of it all. Incredibly sweet and endlessly playful, Kairo will keep you entertained no matter the activity. Kairo is currently in a foster home. If you're interested in him, please email kswanson@berkeleyca.gov First, we'll set up a virtual meeting with their current foster family via phone, Zoom, or Facetime, to provide you with more detailed information. Then, if you feel that Kario might be a good adoption fit, shelter staff will gladly coordinate an up-close and personal meet and greet with your potential family member. Thank you for your support!

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog J:2Orion – Gentle, Mellow, and Full of Heart Orion is a handsome 4-year-old Belgian Shepherd Malinois mix weighing 83 pounds with a calm, sweet personality and a soft, affectionate nature. Easy walking partner: Orion walks closely beside his person with minimal pulling, calmly ignoring distractions like birds and squirrels. Calm and content: He enjoys relaxing in the grass, sunbathing near his person. His chill demeanor makes him a soothing companion. Affectionate sweetheart: While Orion may be a little nervous with new people at first, he warms up beautifully. He loves leaning in for snuggles and enjoys resting his head in your lap for face rubs and ear scratches. Gentle social style: Orion’s sometimes still shy and appreciates slow, gentle interactions. He plays gently with other dogs in doggie playgroup and stays polite when passing dogs on walks. Orion would do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with dog friends outside the home. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by @indies_foster_friends June 22, 2026, 5:40 pm

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog D:3Roadie is a handsome 1-year-old, 67-pound Malinois mix with a sharp mind, affectionate nature, and a heart full of devotion. While many young dogs need time to adjust to a new environment, Roadie surprised his foster family by settling in beautifully from day one. Smart and eager to please, Roadie already knows some basic commands, and he has mastered house training and crate training. He loves spending time with his people, whether that means joining you on a walk, playing fetch, soaking up belly rubs, or simply relaxing nearby. Roadie is energetic, deeply loyal, and highly trainable—the kind of dog who forms a strong bond with his family and thrives on connection. He has good leash skills but might get overly enthusiastic when he spots squirrels or some unfamiliar dogs. He remains manageable and responds well to guidance, and would love to continue training. He would do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with dog friends outside the home. If you're looking for a fun, loving companion who's ready to be your best friend, Roadie may be your match.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog I:4Wombat is a handsome Malinois mix, 4 years old and 69 pounds. He’s just as sensitive as he is sweet. Shelter life has been a bit overwhelming for him but he has made lots of progress with the help of his doggy friends who help him feel more confident. He is currently looking for a quiet yet active adult home with experienced adopters who can understand his timid demeanor and provide him with time and consistency to help him acclimate to home life. He'd love to go home with a friendly dog companion.         View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Oakland Animal Services (OAS) (@oaklandanimalservices) June 22, 2026, 5:40 pm

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog H:7 Leroy is a high-energy, social, 1.3-year old  Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Cane Corso Mastiff mix, who is playful, people-friendly, and very dog-social in group settings. He weighs 70 pounds, enjoys interaction and tends to warm up quickly, showing a loose, happy demeanor once he has a chance to decompress. He is very active and thrives on play, especially with other well-matched dogs, where he enjoys chase-style games and rough-and-tumble play. With people, he can be affectionate and engaging, often checking in for pets and attention once settled. Leroy is still learning leash skills and basic structure, so he benefits from continued training, consistency, and outlets for his energy. He does best with active adopters who can provide exercise, enrichment, and ongoing socialization. Due to his size, strength, and working-breed mix, he will do best with breed-experienced adopters comfortable managing high-drive dogs and providing structured guidance. He would likely thrive in a home with another compatible dog or an active routine that meets his physical and mental needs.June 22, 2026, 5:40 pm
