This 2-year-old, 12-pound boy is a loving, busy, and loyal companion looking for a patient and understanding forever home. Larry is incredibly affectionate with his people—once he bonds with you, he’s your best friend for life! He loves zoomies, fetch, and cuddle sessions under the blankets. Larry thrives in a calm, quiet environment *without other pets or kids*. He can be reactive to new people and dogs, so slow, intentional introductions are key.

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 7-year-old, 7-pound Chihuahua mix may be tiny, but she’s got a brave little heart. Cori is a gentle, shy girl who takes a little time to warm up, but once she does, she’s an absolute darling. She’s content being held, gets along well with other small dogs, and even handled her nail trim like a champ! Cori is a tripawd but she gets around just fine. She’d love a cozy spot to relax and would thrive in a patient, quiet home where she can build trust at her own pace. A dental is on her to-do list, but this sweet senior is otherwise healthy and ready to find her snuggle buddy.

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 hereWe have learned that Gianna is very sweet even though she can be extremely shy at first. She came to the shelter with little training and is working on all of her skills including potty training, leash, walking and socialization. She takes many of her cues from the dogs in her foster household and would greatly benefit from being adopted by a household with a resident dog who is patient and playful. She takes her time to trust humans and is shy of most things in the world.  She enjoys spending time outside and has figured out how to use the dog door in her foster home. She is independent and likes to spend time by herself, but this may also be as she is wary of unfamiliar humans. She is still figuring out that toys are fun to play with and has a preference for chews and kongs for enrichment.  It will be fun to see Gianna build her confidence and thrive in her forever home as she learns her good dog behaviors and to trust her humans. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog E:1 Odie is 100% puppy with all of the energy, enthusiasm, and fun that comes with it. He is a happy wiggle worm who—as far as we can tell—loves everyone and everything. Dogs! People! Balls! Treats! Birds! Odie is also an Olympic-level climber who doesn’t want to miss out on any of the action. As a young doggo, he is still learning his manners and is mouthy in his play style, and for this reason would do best in a home without small children. Odie would love to have a playful canine sibling or doggie friends to romp with. He is highly treat motivated, which should make training fun for everyone. Are you looking for a good-natured, affectionate, and playful pup? Come meet Odie!             View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by @adopt_oas_fosters December 15, 2025, 12:50 pm

Story
Peter is a sweet little guy who loves to snuggle with his humans and is still working on his confidence out and about in the world. He seems to have been indoor potty trained, and he’s in progress with learning to use the potty outdoors. He’s content to sit with you (if you’re looking for a lap dog he might be your guy!) but he also matches his humans’ energy and is happy to hop up and join in with family fun. Peter is dog-friendly and weighs around 13 pounds. Think he might be a match? Fill out an application and a volunteer will be in touch.

Oakland, CA

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Taz is an incredibly sweet and affectionate nine pound true lap-lover who adores curling up for cuddles and happily burrows under blankets at bedtime. Once he trusts someone, his gentle and loving nature really shines. Taz can get a bit overwhelmed in busy environments or around groups of people, and he gets nervous in the car. However, with patience and consistency, he has made wonderful progress. Taz would thrive in a peaceful, stable home. He is house trained, and walks well on leash. Because Taz is still learning to feel safe in new environments, and quick movements and unpredictable behavior from small children can be overwhelming, an adult-only home would be best. If you are interested in adopting this sweet and deserving little guy, please complete an adoption application and we will reach out to you. (ES)
