Story
HI - I'M JULIE! I'm a sweet 10-year-old Shar Pei/American Bully mix in need of a foster or forever home. I've been waiting for about three years for a home and that's a bit sad, but I'm still hopeful my person or people will come along. I only weigh about 52 lbs and am an affectionate snuggle bug. I prefer to be the only dog in the home and prefer people to dogs so would do best with a single person, a couple or a family with older kids. I'm not a fan of cats either, so no kitties for me please. I am in great athletic shape and still love to go for walks and hikes. And I love the water! I also love the fresh air and the feeling of the sunshine on my back. Could you foster or adopt me please?

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:4Guera – A Gentle Soul Blossoming at Her Own Pace Guera is a 3-year-old, 58-pound Chinese Shar-Pei / American Pit Bull Terrier mix with a calm, thoughtful presence. She may seem a little reserved at first, but her quiet sweetness shines through as she grows more comfortable. Calm and easygoing: Walks with very occasionally pulling, happily pausing for thorough sniffing sessions. Soft and polite: Enjoys treats and generally takes them gently, still perfecting her treat etiquette. Affectionate in subtle ways: Accepts petting and may sweetly rub up against you once she feels safe. Thoughtful explorer: Takes her time moving through the environment, sniffing carefully and settling into the walk at her own pace. Growing confidence: Initially overwhelmed in the shelter, but steadily adapting and opening up to volunteers with patience and consistency. Guera would thrive with appropriately matched dog friends or as a solo dog with social canine companions. She’s a tender-hearted girl ready for a calm, understanding home. January 28, 2026, 8:48 pm

This guy is uber adorable! With those silly ears and that squishy jowl, he is almost irresistible! Shrimp is a super sweet boy who loves to give kisses and have all the fun!

He is treat motivated and loves to learn and is looking for a new best friend to take on the world with. He absolutely loves all toys and swimming! Shrimp is a very active dog and loves long walks, he would benefit from an active family. Shrimp would greatly benefit from training since he does pull in the leash and is strong. He would enjoy agility training and maybe dock diving. Shrimp is not recommended to be housed with kids or cats due to a high prey drive. He has met dogs on and off leash and did okay.

Meet Gunner! 🐾 Gunner is an energetic, loving sweetheart who is great with kids and adores people. He’s a playful pup with a big heart and an even bigger love for cuddles. When playtime is over, he’s happy to curl up close and soak up affection. Gunner has lots of energy and needs daily activity to stay happy and healthy. He loves running, playing, and especially going to the dog park, where he enjoys romping around with other dogs. He would do best in a home with a yard and could thrive with a dog buddy to play with. However, Gunner should not live with animals other than dogs. This fun-loving guy has plenty of toys—soft squeaky toys and durable rubber ones he enjoys gnawing on. He’s crate trained and house trained. Gunner knows sit and stay and is currently learning come. He walks well on a leash, though he’s strong and benefits from a confident handler. Gunner is fully up to date on all his shots, neutered, and microchipped—ready to go home with his forever family.

Be prepared to be welcomed home as if you've been away for months - even if it was just an hour! Mack lives for his three daily walks, rides like a champ in the car, and can snooze just about anywhere. He’s also been an absolute star when it comes to his eye and skin care routines — what a good boy! Mack has recently started working with a trainer to improve his dog-ignoring skills. He has quickly learned that a happy "let's go" from his mom means he doesn't need to worry about the dog he just spotted - she has his back and he can relax! Mack is ready for a Bully-savvy home that wants to give a young dog the time, structure and love he needs to become his very best self - are you that home? Apply today to meet Mack!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 23, 2026, 3:02 pm
