Story
Kristmas was fearful and very nervous at the shelter when we rescued her. She is a special behavior needy dog. Kristmas needs time to warm up and feel safe. She can be handled and picked up. She was neglected with matts and had very long toe nails. She was probably too isolated prior and then left in the streets. Kristmas was fine meeting another dog on leash. She was nervous at our vet but they were able to care for her and clip her long nails. She is now in a quiet foster home and relaxing. At first she stayed in her crate inside dog pen and just watched. The next day she felt safer and ate a little. Finally came out and walked out to yard for potty biz. Sniffing and hanging out with the foster home's gentle friendly small dog. Kristmas needs time to decompress and feel safe. Will need an experienced guardian and quiet home situation with attached back yard. More info. to come. She will only eat home made cooked food. Foster home makes chicken or turkey with rice and veggies. She won't eat store bought kibble nor can. Update on day 2: At foster home she is very slowly warming up. She follows their 2 dogs around and out to yard. She needs a very experienced home with another dog to feel safe. Best no kids or older kids 10 yrs and up. She will flinch at fast movement and is head shy. She needs more time in her foster home to learn and be less fearful. She slowly will jump on the sofa and go to foster mom to sniff hands. Kristmas is eating very little now and likes Weruva canned food. She is still too nervous to eat a full meal. So maybe in another 2 weeks she will be normal but shy behavior. She was probably too isolated since a puppy so new people and places make her very nervous. Need to move slow and let her set her pace to trust and feel safe. She will not walk on leash but can be guided on leash at home with another dog around. Will take time for her adjust. She is not a dog for social outings or parks. Mar 2024: She is now walking on leash with a harness. Follows people and foster home's dog on walks. She was a very picky eater but foster home makes home-made meals of meat/veggies/rice for her and their dog. She now loves her food!April 16, 2024, 1:30 am

Story
Cody and Molly are a sweet bonded pair who came to us after their mom passed away. They are kind, considerate and gentle little lambs. Cody is 28 lbs (needs to lose some weight!) and Molly is 13 lbs. Cody is 17 years young and Molly is 18 years young. They've been indoor dogs for a long time with little to no outdoor time and they're happy to enjoy the great outdoors, especially when it's sunny! These two really are the sweetest pair of buddies they look forward to spending forever and ever together. Cody came to us with bladder stones, had surgery and is now on a special diet to help prevent this from occurring again. Molly and Cody are a very sweet pair who don't ask for much, just a loving, warm and cozy home where they get to enjoy indoor and outdoor sunshine time together.

Sukie is a very playful, energetic and affectionate Maltese mix in need of a forever home. He has a fun personality and loves to be the center of attention. He does great with all people and most dogs, and he is crate-trained, neutered and fully vaccinated. Sukie responds well to commands, is eager to please, and loves to cuddle. He would be a great addition to any family.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog E:5 Meet handsome Cobalt! Here at the shelter, he’s been an absolute gentleman. He walks nicely on leash and relishes gentle pets and attention. He loves to play with toys, especially tug-of-war—he can be a little mouthy in his play style, though is easily redirected. He’s also a big fan of treats and takes them politely and gently. On a recent field trip, Cobalt showed what a great companion he will make, proving unreactive to people, bikes, runners, and wildlife. He acted so happy, and enjoyed sniffing and exploring while taking direction and letting his person set the route. He passed big and small dogs respectfully and was easily redirected if another dog was reactive when walking his way. He had energy to spare but was ready to settle in for a calm car ride with affection and treats when the outing was over.  Cobalt is a calm but energetic boy, and while he may never be a social butterfly enjoys affection and companionship with his people. He can get overwhelmed in some situations and will need slow introductions to busy/chaotic environments, looking to his people for confidence. Training and routines are a great way to help him. He has gotten along well with other respectful dogs and has a nice calmer energy. He would do best in an adult-only home with an experienced small dog adopter. Cobalt arrived at the shelter in desperate need of a glow up and will require continued coat maintenance throughout his life. This dog is available to meet by appointment only. Please submit an adoption questionnaire here.April 19, 2024, 4:15 pm
