Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:6Ginkgo – The Bright, Bouncy Brainiac with Double Dew Claws Meet Ginkgo, a 2-year-old Border Collie mix with double dew claws, a brilliant mind, and a whole lot of joyful enthusiasm packed into his 66-pound frame. He’s energetic, playful, and entertaining, bringing fun wherever he goes. Lively and curious: Ginkgo starts off bouncy and eager. He loves sniffing, and happily trots over for treats, which he takes gently. Playful and silly: He entertains himself by sprinting around with a toy, tossing in joyful hops. Smart and trainable: He responds well to ‘sit’ and is perfecting ‘down’.  Affectionate: As he settles, he leans in for pets, and even weaves between legs in his goofy, loving way. Still learning manners: He’s honing his leash manners and “four on the floor”, which he’s proud of his amazing progress. Ginkgo has attended doggie playgroup and would thrive with a well-matched canine buddy or as a solo dog. He’s ready for someone who appreciates both his spark and his sweetness.December 8, 2025, 1:41 pm

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog I:4Lakeshore is a 1-year-old, 35-pound border collie mix with the best windswept rabbit ears you’ve ever seen—always perked, always listening, and always ready for fun. This sweet, friendly puppy is curious, affectionate, and happiest when he’s right by your side giving kisses or bouncing up for attention. This high-energy, enthusiastic youngster arrived with very little training, but thanks to those giant ears and his naturally responsive nature, he learns quickly. Lakeshore already knows a great “sit,” and even an impressive sit-and-wait! He’s still working through typical puppy habits like jumping up and getting a little mouthy during treat time, so he’ll thrive with adopters ready to guide him through his teen-pup manners. Lakeshore is playful and vocal with other dogs, and enjoys chase games. He’d do best with well-matched dog friends or as a solo dog with dog buddies to meet. With his big personality, Lakeshore is ready to be someone’s joyful, goofy, love-soaked companion.November 26, 2025, 2:46 pm

Australian Cattle Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 11 mos
Oakland, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Rosita! Rosita is a smart, playful, and affectionate girl who’s ready to charm her way into your home and heart. She's currently potty-trained, though still learning to signal when it's time to go outside—she’s making great progress with positive reinforcement! Training & Skills: Rosita is a quick learner and knows lots of commands including “sit,” “down,” “wait,” “come,” “paw,” “touch,” “leave it,” and “look.” She’s working on loose leash walking and doing great! Highly food-motivated (especially for salmon treats or crunchy chicken chips), she also enjoys puzzle toys, sniff mats, and Kong balls that challenge her brain and keep her busy. Personality & Play: This girl LOVES to play! She enjoys fetch and is a big fan of her jolly ball. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs—particularly those her size—and is full of energy for play sessions and running around. Rosita is also very affectionate and adores belly rubs and cuddle time. Social Skills: Rosita is friendly with people and loves to make new friends. She’s still learning not to jump up when she’s excited and may nip at clothing when overstimulated—but she responds well to training and gentle redirection. She’s good with kids, though she should be monitored around younger ones as her excitement sometimes gets the best of her. Lifestyle & Routine: Rosita is crate-trained and currently enjoys a very active lifestyle—about 3 hours of walk/run time daily plus an hour of independent play. She would thrive with an active adopter who can match her energy and continue her training journey. If you’re looking for a bright, eager-to-please pup who’s equal parts cuddly and fun, Rosita might just be your perfect companion! (KH) Rosita weighs 37 pounds.

Story
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 hereCalypso has the following ratio of 1/2 independent, 1/2 a cuddle-monster. He definitely likes to lay ON you and be in your lap for snuggles when he wants to get cozy. He does like to stay very close to his human at first, but once he gets settled he can explore his surroundings while checking back in with you.  He's very smart and is already getting the hang of going potty outside. He also knows sit and is working on down and stay, he's picking up new things quickly! He's proving to walk really nicely on leash and he enjoys spending time out in nature sniffing all the smells. He's been in foster with 2 resident dogs and they've been coexisting nicely, mostly calm interactions with a little bit of chase time out in the yard. He is also in foster with a kitty and doesn't chase her. Calypso is going to be a dream dog for someone!! C lick  here  to learn how to adopt and submit your  adoption questionnaire .

Story
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 hereAt just 1 year old and 37 pounds, Carmine is the perfect mix of playful pup and gentle soul. He may be shy at first, but once he feels safe, you’ll quickly discover the sweetest, most loving companion. He is always ready for snuggles, playtime, or showing off his new tricks (he’s already mastered sit and paw in just a few days!). Carmine is crate-trained, potty trained, sleeps through the night, and is content hanging out solo for a few hours—calm, cool, and collected when it matters most. He’s come a long way on his journey and is still building his confidence, so he’ll thrive in a patient, loving home with positive reinforcement and a resident canine sibling to help show him the ropes. Carmine is looking for an experienced adopter familiar with shy/fearful pups. Treats (his love language!) and gentle encouragement go a long way. On walks, Carmine can be a little too excited, but with guidance and patience, he’s eager to keep learning and growing. Carmine is ready to find his person—someone who sees his potential and can give him the safe, supportive home he deserves. Follow him in foster with @augieandfriends_ on Instagram, and click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Oakland Zoo (@oaklandzoo)  September 5, 2025, 10:44 pm
