Story
Note: Special Needs Dog due to Behavior/Shyness. Pepe is an adorable medium sized Scottish Aberdeen Terrier mix who was transferred from another rescue to Jelly's Place in March 2020, along with his sister. Pepe is extremely nervous and timid around people. He LOVES other dogs, and has become best friends with another Jelly's dog named Chee Yoo. Ideally the 2 will be adopted together. Pepe has a very similar personality to Chee Yoo and the two of them are like 2 peas in a pod. During his time at Jelly's Place, Pepe has gone from hiding in his dog house to taking daily walks on a leash. He is becoming more comfortable and confident, but still has a long way to go. He has learned to trust his primary caregiver, but is still not comfortable interacting with other people. Pepe would do best in calm, quiet home with dog experience and older or no children. Pepe is not a dog for first time adopters. He needs adopters who are willing to be patient and to give him the time and space he needs to feel comfortable, confident and loved. Another dog in the home is essential. If you are interested in adopting Pepe, we recommend that you come and spend time with him on several occasions so that he becomes comfortable with you. Pepe is UTD on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. Applications are being accepted and qualified applicants will be contacted.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Smallville:1Meet Bellota!   Bellota is a playful, friendly 5-month-old Akita mix who’s ready to find her forever home.   As a young, energetic pup, Bellota will thrive with an adopter who’s ready to invest time in positive-reinforcement training, socialization, and daily enrichment. Starting training now will help her grow into a well-mannered adult. Because of her size and typical puppy mouthiness, a home with dog-savvy teens (around 14+) may be a good fit, while younger children are not recommended at this time.   Bellota may be able to live with another dog, though this would need to be a thoughtful match. She’ll do best with someone who has some dog or large-breed experience and feels comfortable handling a strong, growing pup.   If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate puppy and are ready for the commitment of raising a young dog, Bellota could be a wonderful addition to your family. Come meet her at one of our upcoming adoption events and see if she’s the right match for you!            View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by gon (@thisandafoster) December 26, 2025, 7:26 pm

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 Brooke! Brooke is a friendly, playful 5-month-old Akita mix who’s currently in foster and ready to find her forever home. She’s a growing puppy with a sweet, energetic personality and is enjoying learning about the world around her. Like many young, large-breed puppies, Brooke will benefit from positive-reinforcement training, continued socialization, and daily mental and physical enrichment. Starting training early will help her grow into a confident, well-mannered adult. Because of her size and typical puppy mouthiness, a home with dog-savvy teens (around 14+) may be a good fit, while younger children are not recommended at this time. Brooke would do best with an adopter who understands the time, patience, and commitment it takes to raise a large-breed puppy and feels comfortable handling a strong, growing dog. If you’re ready for the rewarding journey of puppyhood, Brooke could be a wonderful addition to your family. Come meet her at an upcoming adoption event to see if she’s the right match for you!December 26, 2025, 8:12 pm

Story
Looking for a loving home for our 5 year-old dog who has high energy needs. He needs more time and training than we can dedicate due to having young children and other unexpected changes in our lives. He is sweet and loving and would love to live somewhere that he can hike, run and roam. He is tolerant of kids and very gentle but would probably prefer a home with older kids.
