Story
Winnie (the Pooh) was rescued from a crowded shelter. He was nervous very matted and dirty when first found in the streets. After a week he warmed up. Shelter staff were able to shave off mats and bathed him. He enjoyed laps and gave kisses. Plays with toys. Was good with other dogs. Now happy and playful meeting another dog out of the shelter. He is now relaxing at his loving foster home with another dog. So far he is very friendly and sweet. He will be groomed soon to even out body coat paws and trim his face. Once he is healthy he will be neutered. More photo and info to come from his foster home. He is a sweetie. 12/31/25 Update from foster home: Winnie is still working on potty training (very normal for young small dogs). He may mark which is being managed with a belly band and is expected to improve significantly once neutered. Great with dogs — playful respectful and socially savvy Playful around cats Gentle and affectionate — not aggressive not nippy Quiet for a small dog — not a big barkerEnjoys being held and cuddling on your lap Confident in the home with no disruptive behaviors Crate trained at night — sleeps through without accidents Smart curious playful and eager to learn Loves playtime walks and exploring.January 3, 2026, 1:57 pm

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog E:2Meet Crawdad ! Who could resist this sweet squishy face? At five years old, this darling medium-energy boy is past the crazy puppy years yet still has a lot of enthusiasm for life. Once he knows you are a friend, he is a total love bug, cuddling in and asking for head and neck scratches. He is food-motivated and takes treats with a gentle mouth. He is playful with other small dogs at the shelter, and enjoys a good romp in the big yard. Crawdad is looking for an adult-only home with adopters who will let him take the lead and respect his boundaries. He will need regular grooming to look and feel his best.January 9, 2026, 9:26 am

Story
Meet Wally! This 20-lb Wookie is starting the year with a clean slate and a whole lot of heart. Sweet, charming, and ready for his forever home, Wally is excited for what’s next. Wally may be a bit shy when you first meet him, but he doesn't take long to warm up to new people (cheese helps!). Once he trusts you, you've got a friend for life—a total lovebug who will climb into your lap for passionate kisses and follow you everywhere. Wherever you are, that's where he wants to be! He'll hang out quietly with you while you work but will also make sure you take a break because ball is life. Wally is an enthusiastic fetch player and will happily bring the ball back for another round. Wally has been thriving in a calm foster home where he gets along well with his 5-year-old canine sister. He's smart, highly food motivated, and already knows "sit." He makes himself at home quickly, loves to cuddle up on the sofa or bed, and sleeps through the night in his pen. While he's somewhat potty-trained, he does have some marking indoors. Like many young dogs, Wally needs continued work on his manners and basic training, but his intelligence and treat motivation make him an eager learner. Wally will thrive with someone looking for a loyal shadow and best friend who can provide him with a calm, patient environment and the training he needs to become his best self. (Please note he will require regular grooming.) If you're ready to give this affectionate little guy the loving home he deserves, please fill out an application and a volunteer will be in touch. (JP)
