Story

Merlin is 8 years old—she was born on 1/15/18. She was the runt of a litter of 7. She was just 8lbs when we brought her home…now she is 55lbs. Her mom was a big fluffy black and red German shepherd named Tallie, and her dad was likely a pitt. Even though she’s technically upper middle aged, she still acts like a puppy. She is spastically happy when her humans get home, and she brings every visitor a shoe as a welcome offering. She is happiest when she has lots of structure and physical activity, so needs an owner with some experience with large working breeds.Merlin has a high prey drive so struggles to be polite with cats, so a cat-free home is a must. She also doesn't love sharing her space babies and toddlers, but older children are just fine. We have a baby and it no longer feels safe to keep her in our home, which breaks our hearts. But she is the sweetest, smartest, loyalest creature. She loves her humans and just wants to hang out near you all day long.

Story

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog J:6Radar – Independent Explorer with a Snuggly Side Radar is a 1½-year-old German Shepherd Dog mix weighing 70 pounds with a wonderful balance of independence and affection. He enjoys exploring the world at his own pace but is just as happy returning to his favorite people for love and attention. Curious adventurer: Radar enjoys taking his time on “sniffari” adventures, investigating every interesting scent along the way. He’s still working on his leash manners and continues to make progress with guidance. Affectionate sweetheart: After satisfying his curiosity, Radar happily returns for attention, leaning into pets, and sometimes even resting his head in a lap for extra snuggles. Smart and treat motivated: He knows “sit,” takes treats politely, and enjoys engaging with his handler. Dog-social: Radar has played well with other dogs in doggie playgroup, showing appropriate social skills with canine companions. Radar would do well with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with dog friends outside the home. July 17, 2026, 9:40 am

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 hereMeet Landon, a goofy, lovable shepherd mix with big zoomies! 1 year old and 55 pounds, this handsome pup is full of energy, curiosity, and joy. Found as a stray at a construction site, Landon is now ready to build a future with a forever family of his own. His fosters say he is incredibly smart, treat-motivated, and already knows “sit”, “paw” and “down.” He's crate trained and potty trained, and has settled in beautifully. This silly guy gets along with the playful resident dog, and would thrive in an active home with room to run, play, and continue learning. After a fun day of adventures, Landon’s favorite thing is snuggling up for pets —he’ll happily drift right off to sleep beside you. At the shelter, Landon did wonderfully in doggy playgroups. He absolutely loves other dogs and likes to show off his fun side with chase games and play bows galore. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, a playful companion, and a total sweetheart wrapped into one energetic pup, Landon might just be your match!

Story

Meet Kairo, a young Malinois who somehow managed to max out both his “brain” and “beauty” stats—and still had points left over for goofiness. Adventures, exercise, and exploring the world may be high on his to-do list—but once he’s gotten his wiggles out, he’s all about snuggles and softness for his favorite people. Whether he’s mastering new tricks, inventing his own games, or just supervising whatever you’re doing, he’s always ready for action. He’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and still curl up beside you at the end of it all. Incredibly sweet and endlessly playful, Kairo will keep you entertained no matter the activity.
