Story
Meet Gilbert, the charming senior Chihuahua with a heart as big as his ears! Gilbert may be a bit gray around the muzzle, but his zest for life and love is timeless. This delightful little gentleman is in search of a forever home to spend his golden years in comfort and joy.At an estimated 11 years young, Gilbert has mastered the art of being the perfect companion. He's a seasoned snuggler and an expert at stealing hearts with his soulful eyes. Gilbert enjoys leisurely strolls in the park, basking in the sun, and of course, sharing quiet moments with his favorite humans. Gilbert's favorite humans are adults! Gilbert thinks kids are a bit too much, so he should be in a home with just adults. This sweet senior is a low-maintenance charmer who just wants to be your sidekick. If you're looking for a pint-sized package of love and loyalty, Gilbert is the one for you. Give this wise old Chihuahua a chance to show you the boundless affection he has to offer. Adopt Gilbert and make his golden years shine even brighter! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 10.2 Age: 11yrs 3mths 3wks

Story
Hello there! My name is Sassafras, and I'm on a journey to find my forever home. When I first arrived at East Bay SPCA I was really, really scared. I wasn't sure where I was, so I stayed hidden in my crate. Luckily, I was moved to cozy foster home. It took me a couple of weeks, but pretty soon I realized I was safe, and I got to know my foster mom. In her home, I'm a snuggly, loving little dog, and I co-exist well with my little roomies. When I come back to the shelter for visits, I'm still pretty worried. I'm looking for an adopter that's willing to take a chance on me - that understands that it may take me a while to show my true, sweet colors, but is willing to put in the time (and the treats!) to help me get acclimated to a new home. Are you someone with a quiet, low traffic adults-only home? Are you looking for a quiet companion that's more interested in a snuggle on the couch than a great adventure? If you think this may be you, reach out to my friends in the Behavior & Training Department at behavior@eastbayspca.org to discuss further and set up a meet!

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 hereWhen Seven arrived at the shelter he was so scared. As he’s relaxed and we’ve gotten to know him, an affectionate and engaging companion has emerged. Seven will need people who let him set the pace in the beginning of the relationship. When given time and space he absolutely blossoms into a lover of human attention. He has gotten along well with other small dogs. Follow Seven in foster with @adopt_oas_fosters on Instagram! Seven is available to meet by appointment only. Please submit the online Dog Adoption Questionnaire and someone will get back to you if he is a good match.         View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Oakland Animal Services (OAS) (@oaklandanimalservices)  April 25, 2024, 4:43 pm

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 hereThis Dog is Available By Appointment Only Sabina is a hidden gem. She's very sweet, loyal, cuddly, on the quiet side, walks great on leash, and is potty trained. She doesn't mind other dogs but prefers to keep to herself and is more of an introvert than a social butterfly. Given her mellow attitude, she may not mind cats, but she has not been exposed to them. She gets nervous in new environments and spooked by loud and unexpected noises, so a home with older children would be best to ensure she's her best self. She's very mellow and spends most of her day relaxing in her bed or cuddling with you on the couch. She's also an excellent overnight guest; she sleeps through the night and rarely moves from her spot. She's not a huge barker; we've only seen her bark when my resident chihuahua starts it, and she joins in. She's great for someone looking for a smaller dog without the giant attitude. We have not been crate-training her, given that she is not destructive when we are gone, although she is used to being in her playpen and can be left in there overnight or while you're out. She prefers to be next to you rather than tucked away. We are working on separation anxiety and possessiveness; she growls when we are petting or cuddling with her, and other dogs get close. She also cries when no humans are in the room, but this has been happening less and less as she gets used to us. We are working on these with her, and she seems to respond well to consistent training, treats, pets, and verbal rewards. Sabina is a flight risk and will run off if she is spooked, so whoever adopts her should do on-leash walks only with her for as long as needed as she gets used to her new environment. Sabina has bloomed so much in her time with us; she went from terrified and distant to sweet and cuddly. She is a prime example of what a little love and a feeling of safety can do. She would be ideal in a home that wants a close companion and can give her a consistent routine in a calm environment. We hope that she goes to someone who is patient and willing to earn her trust. Ideally, someone whose love language is cuddles and affection. Sabina will be sure to return that love a hundredfold.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog E:3Say hello to Angel! This freckled and spotted little chi-mix is 100 lbs of cuteness fit into a compact 8-lb pupper. Angel was very scared when she first came to the shelter but has warmed up to volunteers, and now regularly crawls onto laps /in search of attention and ear scratches. She is food motivated and a gentle treat-taker, and has gotten along well with other small dogs at the shelter. She hasn’t yet mastered leash walking, preferring to “fly” in the arms of a trusted human. Angel is looking for an experienced small dog adopter who will let her decide when she’s ready for attention as she can be fearful with new people. She will need to go to a calm household without children. This dog is available to meet by appointment only. Please submit the online Dog Adoption Questionnaire.April 25, 2024, 4:43 pm
