Story
Hanna is a one-year-old boxer mix with so much love to share. She is a sweetheart who loves being with her trusted people. Since being found on the street four months ago, she has made tremendous progress. While still dealing with anxiety, she has grown much more confident in neighborhood walks and at the park. She loves interacting with other dogs and would thrive in a house with an older dog to follow and learn from. She has had 8 sessions with a trainer and is currently being crate trained for nighttime sleep. She can sit, leave it, and lay down. Given her anxiety, Hanna would benefit from living with an experienced owner who often works from home. House-trained and up-to-date on vaccines but not yet spayed. She currently lives with a 5 year old and is great with kids. But, she is the work of one, so perhaps better with a family who has time to give her!

Story
I want Candy… and by Candy, I mean Bow Wow Wow! This sweet senior boy is serving up smiles, slobbery kisses, and one seriously adorable head tilt. With his distinguished white old man face and tongue permanently on display, Bow Wow Wow looks like he’s been waiting his whole life to become everyone’s favorite grandpa. He has some mobility issues, but that doesn’t stop him from being happy, affectionate, and absolutely convinced that every person he meets deserves a kiss. He’s got the face, the charm, and the personality. Honestly, Bow Wow Wow is the whole package. He’s less “who’s a good boy?” and more “HOW are you this adorable?" Here's some notes from his foster: He’s just a good, happy dog who happens to have some hind leg mobility issues. His legs don’t quite go where he wants, but it honestly doesn't slow him down at all. He still wobbles around at breakneck speeds because he approaches everything in life with so much enthusiasm and zest. He absolutely loves going on walks, sniffing everything, and greeting people and other dogs politely. He has a huge doggy smile and will lean right up against you—or even try to sit on you—just to get some love and cuddles. He is perfectly potty trained, has no issues doing his business outside, and will just walk to the door in the morning to let you know he needs to go. He also has a healthy appetite and loves food, but since he can't get up on the countertops, your snacks are totally safe. He also loves car rides and an open window to smell all the smells. He is a resilient, sweet guy who just wants to putter around and find someone to cuddle up with.

Story
Meet Grayson! 🤍 Grayson is a big, white hunk of love with an even bigger heart! At 73 pounds, this affectionate Boxer boy may be a little too big to be a traditional lap dog, but that certainly doesn’t stop him from trying. We even had his DNA tested, and Grayson is 100% Boxer—and he certainly lives up to every bit of his breed! Grayson is an absolute cuddle bug and a total kissing machine who will happily shower his favorite people with love and kisses whenever he gets the chance. If you’re okay with a dog who thinks personal space is optional and that everyone could use a good face washing, Grayson is your guy! Grayson loves people of all ages and is wonderful with kids of all sizes. He genuinely enjoys being around his people and would love to be part of a family. His favorite way to say hello is with plenty of kisses, so his future family should be prepared for a very enthusiastic welcome every time they walk through the door! He’s a big, goofy boy with a huge heart and loves nothing more than being included in the action. Grayson is also a fantastic adventure buddy! He loves going for walks and hikes, jogging, playing ball, romping around the backyard, and tagging along for outings. He gets very excited when he realizes it’s time for a car ride and is always ready to see what fun is around the corner. Once the adventures are over, though, Grayson is perfectly happy to settle down at home. He’ll curl up in his bed or snuggle up with you and enjoy some well-earned downtime. He truly has the best of both worlds: active and playful outside, mellow and cuddly inside. Grayson does experience some anxiety when left alone, so he would love a home where someone is around much of the day and can include him in plenty of fun adventures. He is also extremely food motivated, which is great for training but means you’ll need to keep an eye on anything edible within his reach—Grayson is quite talented at finding snacks that were definitely not meant for him! When it comes to other dogs, Grayson has made some wonderful progress. With consistent training and positive experiences, he has become much better at navigating dogs out in public and is learning to stay calm and focused. He can still be selective, however, and he definitely has a preference for little dogs! At home, Grayson is a great friend to both the small female dog and small male dog he lives with. He enjoys their company and has shown that he can form wonderful friendships with little canine companions. Cats, however, are a definite no for Grayson. He is not good with cats and requires a feline-free home. In Grayson’s mind, cats are less “feline friends” and more “potential snacks,” so a cat-free home is an absolute must. Grayson is a goofy, loving, affectionate boy who has so much love to give. He’s looking for a family who will appreciate his big personality, continue supporting his training, and include him in the adventures of everyday life. In return, you’ll have a devoted cuddle buddy, enthusiastic adventure partner, and one very lovable big white goofball who will probably try to kiss your face every chance he gets! If Grayson sounds like your kind of guy, please apply online to meet him. He’s ready to find the forever family who will love him for the wonderful, goofy, affectionate dog he is!

Story
Gypsy has been waiting for her forever home since she was just a puppy at the Milo Foundation Sanctuary. Through it all, she has never stopped hoping that the right person will come along. Gypsy is an active, loyal girl who is happiest by your side. She would thrive with someone who enjoys hiking, running, exploring new trails, or simply spending time outdoors. If you're looking for a dedicated adventure partner and workout buddy, Gypsy is ready to join you every step of the way. Because Gypsy loves having her person all to herself, she would do best as the only dog in the home. In return, she'll give you her whole heart and become a faithful companion who wants nothing more than to share life's adventures with you. This wonderful girl has been waiting far too long for the chance to experience the love and comfort of a home of her own. Could you be the one she's been waiting for?

Story
Thank you for your interest in this sweet girl. Ella has been adopted, Energetic, loving, and goofy 9-year-old Ella is super sweet but needs a family with an experienced dog owner. A little under 2ft tall and 40 lbs, she's sleek and muscular. Ella is fully house-trained and very patient with the three cats she lives with. She's never lived with kids but is generally chill with the children in the neighborhood. 
 She loves her toys, playing fetch, tug of war games, following you around the house, and of course, napping. Ella wants to be involved in whatever you're doing and is alert to someone coming to the door. She is highly food motivated, Ella picks up new tricks quickly but can be stubborn and easily distracted, so she needs lots of consistent positive reinforcement to maintain behavioral changes. She has many opinions and she will let you know about them. 
 Ella also plays well with other dogs, although sometimes she has issues with dogs larger than she is, but is good at de-escalating potential conflicts. Ella really loves company so if her new people are gone for a full work day she will need a canine companion. She's leash trained and always excited to jump in the car to visit the park. Ella is a great dog looking for a home where she is loved and cherished. Would you be the one for her?" Ella is now being fostered in Oakland, CA and her adoption fee is $275.00 Arrangements to meet our dogs occur after an application has been received. Please contact us at dogzonerescue@yahoo.com for more information about this great gal or for an application to adopt.

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 hereJones – Curious, Affectionate, and Full of Young-Dog Energy Jones is a 1-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix weighing 45 pounds. Active explorer: Jones loves running around, sniffing, and investigating his environment. He’s not particularly interested in fetch, but he enjoys having the freedom to explore. Affectionate and food motivated: In foster, Jones was described as affectionate with people and responsive to treats. He can get bouncy during exciting greetings, so calm, thoughtful interactions help him stay settled. Still fine tuning his manners: Jones is working on leash skills, and a front-clip harness/collar combination makes him considerably easier to manage. Jones is mostly housetrained, with occasional accidents if he isn’t taken outside soon after drinking lots of water. Dog-social: He successfully lived with an independent 7-year-old female Pit Bull in his foster home. Jones would benefit from continued positive training, calm greetings, and plenty of opportunities to exercise his curious mind and young-dog energy. Follow him in foster with @foster_fandi_oas 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 Animal Services (OAS) (@oaklandanimalservices)  October 15, 2026, 11:00 am

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:5Dan – Affectionate, Mellow, and People-Oriented Dan is a 6-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix weighing 69 pounds. He’s a sweet, affectionate guy who loves being close to his person and is happiest when he’s getting attention. People-focused and affectionate: Dan likes to stay close to his person and will often come right over and automatically sit at their feet for attention. If the pets stop, he may politely nudge his person a few times to let them know he’d happily like more. Smart and treat motivated: Dan responds very well to “sit” and enjoys “find it” games. He’s especially fond of cheese and may happily follow his person around in hopes of getting another tasty treat. Mellow with a playful side: Dan has an overall mellow demeanor, but he can get a little bouncy when he becomes especially excited. Manageable on leash: Dan pulls a bit on leash but is very manageable. Dan will do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with well-matched canine friends.October 15, 2026, 11:00 am
