Eleven

Husky Husky

Female, Young

Berkeley, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Eleven is currently 3 years old, born 6/22/22. She’s a sweet dog. Somewhat house trained and good with training pads if left to roam outside of kennel indoors. This last year however, she’s been spending more time outside rather than free to roam the house due to having my child a year ago. Eleven is mostly playful, and vocal at times but not much barking. Great around the baby when let out around the house. Excited yet protective and careful. She does still unfortunately have a slight high value item/food aggression which is expressed as a subtle growl, worst of it it is usually a small bark although she has bit me once in that situation in the past. However these signs of aggression have never been displayed towards any children while interacting with them. Parting with 11 isn’t something I ever hoped or planned to be doing but due to an unfortunately life event I can no longer care for her the way I want to and am now in need of re-homing at this present time.

Banks

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Adult

Berkeley, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Banks is a high energy, lovable, 3-legged Border Heeler. He loves people, other dogs, and he LOVES balls. He is an expert at catch, loves to run, and loves to cuddle with his humans. When Banks was 2 years old, he lost one of his rear legs to an accident. However, it did not slow him down or dampen his spirits. All of these amazing qualities also make it extremely hard for him to live in our family home with our young child. We are now expecting our second child, and we cannot keep up with Banks' needs. We want to find him a forever home where he can get plenty of exercise and be happy and cared for properly. Here are some elements to a great forever home for Banks: - No young children - Access to a large outdoor space (maybe a farm?!) - A dedicated adult(s) that can maintain his training and exercise (no adults with traditional jobs where Banks would have extended time alone) - Someone with experience with Border Heelers or other working dogs - An experienced dog trainer

Size

Story

Elvis and Aretha are a bonded pair. I've had them for 10 years, since they were pups. However, my life circumstances have changed drastically, and I now need to find a suitable home for them together as I no longer can give them the care and attention they need. They are sweet, loving, and gentle - great with kids, great with other dogs, and good to each other. Perfect pair for an experienced dog owner or family looking to intro kids to owning pets.

Special Needs

Joni

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Berkeley, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Joni was brought in to Oakland Animal Services as a stray originally but these days she loves nothing more than cuddles, belly rubs, blanket naps, and sun bathing. She loves love, takes treats oh so gently, gives out sweet kisses, looks into your eyes with a grin, and enjoys afternoon playtime. She is still getting the hang of walking on a leash without pulling and she’s making progress each day with training. She is still getting used to how stimulating everything is on a walk. She does "sit, wait, release" at mealtime and will do 'sit' 'shake' and 'down' for treats. She does have a strong prey drive, like a true terrier breed and is showing signs of dog reactivity. She needs behavioral training for this to help her long term. At OAS she was in a play group with big dogs so she might do well with bigger dogs after slow introductions. She’s a special spirit with a lot of love to give and receive for the right home.

Story

Bella's a great little senior dog. She mostly minds her business and sleeps a lot. She gets excited around her evening mealtime and still enjoys a walk around the block. Bella is 16 years old. Doesn't have major health issues. But shows age-related signs of a little dementia. She would be happy in a house with other people and pets, but would have difficulty around small children. The pictures are recent and show her freshly groomed. She is otherwise a curly furball!
