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 in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereAt 7 years old and 65 pounds, Cappy is a handsome senior with quiet confidence and charm. He was found tied up outside the shelter with many wounds. All healed now, he's enjoying the comforts of his foster home while he waits for his forever family. His foster reports he’s an excellent house guest! This sweet boy is house-trained and caught on to his routine quickly. He’ll even let you know when it’s time to go out. His favorite place? Curled up next to his humans on a comfy couch. He sleeps soundly through the night and loves a little sunbathing during the day. Cappy has arthritis, likely from an old injury, so he keeps things low-key. Gentle strolls, soft beds, and lots of love are all he needs. He’s great on leash and enjoys short “sniffaris” around the block. When it comes to other dogs, Cappy is generally calm and polite with those his size, though he might be too much for smaller pups. With slow introductions, or as your one-and-only, he’ll shine. If you’re looking for a laid-back, loving companion with soulful eyes and a wise, sweet spirit, Cappy could be your match. Follow him in foster with @oascappy on Instagram, and click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Oakland Animal Services (OAS) (@oaklandanimalservices) October 21, 2025, 2:42 pm

Story
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 young and active and loves to play. He would make a great adventure partner as he loves to hike and swim and is an extremely smart boy. 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. He has attempt to go after a trainers dog but was corrected and listened. Supervision is recommended for meeting others dogs. Shrimp is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and chipped. If you’re interested in meeting Shrimp please fill out an application and a volunteer will reach out within one business day. Betterworldrescue.org/adoption-application

Story
Sally came into our lives last Christmas when we found her abandoned in a shopping cart. She was just a tiny puppy, cold, scared, and clearly hadn’t had an easy start. We brought her home, got her vetted, and gave her the love, safety, and stability she hadn’t known before. She is now about a year old — a sweet, athletic, intelligent girl who thrives with routine, structure, and activity. I’m looking for an adult-only, active home where she can continue to grow with people who understand her energy and enjoy training, hiking, and daily engagement. I would describe Sally as affectionate, playful, curious, energetic, smart, and very eager to please. She will absolutely blossom in the right home.

Story
I adopted this guy when he was 6 months old. He will be 2 y/o in December. He's the normal bully sleeps during the day, snores really loud and chill demeanor. The only issue I have with him is that he has progressively got aggressive with me when it comes to his bones and toys. Its like a light switch went off one day and he's guarding bones and then new toys. I've never taken away a toy, so I don't get it. I notice he is submissive to men, but is tough on me. At this point I know I can't do it anymore. He has unfortunately bitten me so I worry about kids or other dogs with him. Even though he has interacted with other dogs his behavior has changed. You must have the experience of owning a bully. He's sweet, playful and loves short walks or his stroller to watch people. Plays with his toys. Doesn't bark. Healthy. Please understand he may need behavior training. We have learned no bones in bedroom n no play toys. Only babies to sleep w/. Behavior has improved greatly! Fee 4 safe home.
