Sweet Hua Juan is looking for her forever home still! She might be a border collie mix! Love her color and spots on her coat! She's opened up a lot compared to when she first arrived in the states beginning of this year. She weights about 20lbs. Walks fairly well on leash although noises on the street still scares her a bit. She does well with dogs of all sizes! She does well with ppl and kids.

Story
Like most Border Collies, Confetti Sunset is innately wise and instinctively helpful. Her beauty is unparalleled and her emotional intelligence is worthy of scientific study. Kind, gentle, quietly attentive, she’s lays her freckled snout on a knee like a warm compress, receiving and giving comfort without a lot of fanfare. She’s a strong capable friend to other dogs and polite with all humans. A proud working dog, she also stands ready to be a loyal companion and playmate to a loving and reliable adopter. Adopt her for a lifelong master class in peace, love and understanding. Here's some notes from her foster: Confetti is totally chill. She wants to be with her human all the time, but that can be lying on her doggie bed next to me while I work. She does try to get outside anytime a door is opened, but the one time she did get out, she just stood there. She likes leisurely walks. Given her medical condition, I am taking her for multiple short (1/4 mile or so) walks per day. She is also very much into smelling everything outside. A 1/4 mile walk can take 20 minutes or more.

Story
Milo is a beautiful 42 lb border collie mix. Typical for a herding type dog, Milo has a lot of energy and is very intelligent. His foster family describes him as very sweet, goofy, active, and energetic. Milo loves to play games of all kinds, and especially loves playing fetch. Milo is crate trained, house trained, and walks well on leash. He is friendly with other dogs. He has not been cat tested. With his foster family, Milo does well with 2-4 hours of exercise daily. Typical for his breed type, Milo has shown some herding behaviors and can sometimes be protective of his space, his people, and his things. For these reasons, Milo would do best in a home without small children. Milo needs a family that can provide him with plenty of daily mental and physical stimulation. Herding breed experience or experience with other high drive dogs is strongly encouraged.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog H:4Cassio – Wiggly, Affectionate, and Full of Charm Cassio is a 2-year-old Border Collie mix weighing 41 pounds with a delightful waggy personality and a big love for human attention. Enthusiastic buddy: Cassio may pull excitedly at the start of walks, but is easy to handle due his manageable size. He loves interacting with his human while showing off his ‘sit’, ‘down’ and ‘spin’.  Extra affectionate: It doesn’t take long for Cassio to hop up with his front paws on your legs, gazing up for attention and possibly sneaking in a quick face lick. He also loves leaning against people or stretching out across a lap for butt scratches. Playful and easygoing: Cassio can happily entertain himself with a plush toy and enjoys gentle play with other dogs in doggie playgroup. Social sweetheart: His waggy, people-loving personality shines through in nearly every interaction, making him a fun and affectionate companion. Cassio would do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with dog friends outside the home.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Oakland Animal Services (OAS) (@oaklandanimalservices) August 31, 2026, 9:58 am

Story
Zoey is an enthusiastically friendly four year old medium sized dog who is likely some kind of terrier mix. She's not shy at all with new people and is very energetic- she doesn't necessarily need someone very experienced with dogs but does need someone who can regularly exercise her more strenuously than simple walks. She seems to understand the concept of fetch and loves playing with toys. She gets along with the two dogs she currently lives with but it is unknown how well she would interact with cats. She's very cuddly and loves attention! Her human passed away and had no known relatives so she needs a new forever home. She's very attentive to the humans around her and seems to be constantly looking for a job to do so she would probably do well with agility training or as a running buddy or farm/ranch companion. We are helping Zoey's current guardian to rehome her. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue. If you have specific questions please send them through and we will put you in touch with her current guardian.August 24, 2026, 12:28 am

Orange, spayed female, 2.5 years old, 32-lbs If you would like to give ORANGE a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application About Orange: No one knows the reason why Orange was sent to the shelter. She always stays very quietly in her kennel, never barking mindlessly or picking fights with other dogs. Whenever a volunteer takes her out of the kennel, she always comes out happily, joyfully following them wherever they go. Sometimes, she will excitedly roll over onto her back inviting people to rub her belly. She is the most highly praised, well-behaved sweetie in the entire shelter! It is precisely because of her wonderful personality that it’s impossible not to notice her. Orange has a very stable temperament, yet she is incredibly affectionate. She will follow commands for just about any treat, making her very easy to train. She is highly obedient; during walks in the park, she is also good responding to recall. She would make an excellent family companion dog!
