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 hereMarge is a 1-year-old, 47-pound terrier mix with a lot of love. This sweet girl recently finished raising her puppies and is now ready to be someone’s baby herself! She greets everyone with a wagging tail, and she’s always eager for attention (she’s working on keeping all four paws on the ground). Still very much a puppy at heart, Marge enjoys playtime just as much as cuddle time. She loves playing fetch and then settling in for long snuggle sessions with her people. She already knows basic cues like sit, stay, and off, and she’ll thrive with positive, reward-based training, especially to polish up her leash manners. Marge is friendly and playful with other dogs. She enjoys high-energy, wrestle-style play and could do well in a home with like-minded canine companions, but she’d also be happy as a solo dog with dog friends.  Sweet, affectionate, and full of joy, Marge is ready to help you start the new year! Follow her in foster with @oomyida on Instagram, and click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog H:6This dog is available to meet by appointment only. Montclair is a 9-month-old pittie mix bursting with joy and affection. He’s timid and underconfident at first, but once he knows you, this playful pup greets you with a wagging tail, soft eyes, and boundless excitement. He’s looking for an experienced adopter who can provide patience, consistency, and gentle handling so that he can continue to grow. Eager to impress, Montclair’s already learned sit, down, touch, and spin. He enjoys toys, exploring, and most of all, being close to his person. He loves rolling over for belly rubs and crawling into laps for cuddles. On leash, he’s happy to check in, and he’s gentle when taking treats. In shelter playgroups, Montclair gets along with other friendly dogs. He could do well in a home with well-matched dogs, or as a solo pup with occasional playdates.  With his affectionate nature, Montclair is ready to bring endless snuggles to a loving home. He's healing from a tibial tuberosity fracture, a common injury in young, active dogs, so a follow-up with your veterinarian is recommended.  Please submit an adoption questionnaire to meet Montclair.

He’s mastered the ramp down the stairs, is doing wonderfully with clicker training, and has learned how to sit. Treats are still the way to his heart, and he remains playful, curious, and very brave. He’s now enjoying walks and gets excited to head outside. Praline believes he’s a lap dog and greets kind voices with nonstop tail wags. He’s calm and gentle around other dogs and would do well with appropriately matched canine friends or as a solo pup with dog buddies. Handsome as ever and endlessly sweet, Praline is ready to fill a loving home with cuddles and joy. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.January 6, 2026, 1:35 pm

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog J:5This dog is available to meet by appointment only. Ashland is a young, 53-pound pittie mix who arrived at the shelter feeling overwhelmed. At first he stayed tucked at the back of his kennel, but with a little patience you can gain his trust and affection. Outside he walks close and checks in often, eventually easing into slow tail wags, gentle nudges, and his sweet habit of tucking his head under your knee for more pets. The real magic happens when a kind, playful dog is nearby. Ashland loosens, brightens, and starts bouncing along beside them, happy to join the fun and even prouder to circle back and show his person how brave he is. He's still sensitive to new things, but he's looking for comfort, guidance, and a calm home where a resident dog can help him find his footing. Could you be the one Ashland's waiting for? Please submit an adoption questionnaire to meet him. January 6, 2026, 7:51 pm

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 hereGet ready to indulge in the sweetest treat around! Cheesecake is a 6-year-old, 58-pound party pup who sprints joyfully around and soaks up every bit of attention she can get. She comes when called with adorable enthusiasm and happily flops over for belly rubs. She takes treats gently, knows many commands, and is house and crate trained. Cheesecake does best with a gentle approach around her head, and she sports a cute little head tilt (likely a souvenir from her past), though it doesn’t slow her down one bit. She’s a confident, happy girl. Toys and human affection are her absolute favorites. While she’s met a few dogs at the shelter, she’s much more comfortable being the center of attention, so we recommend she be the only dog in the home. If you’re ready for a joyful, affectionate, one-of-a-kind companion, Cheesecake is your sweetest new friend. Follow Cheesecake in foster with @adoptoas_cheesecake on Instagram, and click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.   November 20, 2025, 2:54 pm

Story
If long, slow walks and cuddles sound good to you, beautiful Bettina is your girl! This goofy girl charms everyone she meets with her sweetness. Bettina is about 50 pounds and she’s working on losing some weight. She has strong bull dog vibes and is a heavy breather, but only snores a bit (and she's a great sleeper). She is fully house-trained and does just fine when she’s home on her own. She doesn’t use a crate in her foster home, and does well just hanging out in gated areas. She’s still getting comfortable with walking with a harness and taking car trips, but her confidence is growing every day. Bettina gets excited when she dogs, but hasn’t had a lot of experience getting to know other dogs yet. She’s quick to join in a cuddle on the couch, and knows how to stay chill, she's both a great cuddle and work buddy! (AM)

Story
Meet Maple - Our Lovely Golden Girl with a Spark!Maple is a gentle, loving older lady with a heart full of sweetness and a nose that can find a treat from a mile away! Snacks are absolutely the way to her heart - but she also has a delightful amount of pep and enthusiasm for life.This beautiful senior girl may have a calm, kind spirit, but don't let her gray hairs fool you - Maple loves to get up and go. She has plenty of energy and enjoys lively walks, exploring the world with a happy tail, and engaging with her people. After her adventures, she's equally content to settle in for cozy naps and soak up affection.Maple came to us with a mammary tumor that was removed during her stay in our care. While testing showed that it had likely already metastasized, she currently shows no signs of illness. Her expected survival could be two years or more - but even if her time may be somewhat shorter, that only makes it more important that she find her forever home soon, with someone who will cherish her golden days.Maple is a "Pawspice" adoption, meaning the East Bay SPCA will provide specific ongoing support for her care going forward. Come meet this lovely, spirited girl to learn more and see if she's the one who'll brighten your home. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 69 Age: 8yrs 1mths 4wks
