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 hereSunflower – Gentle, Easygoing, and Full of Heart Sunflower is a young, 52-pound tri-pawed Pit Bull Terrier mix who doesn’t let anything slow her down. She may takes a minute or two to warm up to people, but once she does, she’s your bestie forever. Sweet, mellow and low maintenance: Sunflower’s very happy on a dog bed wherever you are (and certainly won’t turn an invite down if you let her on the couch or bed). Professional lounger: She adores head, chin, and belly scratches and is equally content lounging in the grass or sniffing flowers, soaking up a peaceful afternoon. Great home manners: Sunflower is house trained, sleeps soundly on her dog bed through the night and is polite around food and treats. Remarkably resilient: Sunflower has adapted beautifully to life on three legs and gets around confidently. She already knows a few cues while continuing to learn more. Sunflower is ready to share her gentle spirit and quiet companionship with a lucky forever family. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.July 12, 2026, 12:37 am

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog G:2Larry – Playful, Affectionate, and Full of Fun Larry is a 1½-year-old , brindle Pit Bull Terrier mix weighing 65 pounds with a happy-go-lucky personality and plenty of youthful enthusiasm. Active young guy: Larry can be a fairly strong puller on leash and is still working on his leash manners. His enthusiasm for adventure is part of his charm. Toy lover: He enjoys a good game of fetch with a tennis ball and also likes playing with plush toys, giving him plenty of ways to entertain himself. Affectionate companion: Larry loves scratches and attention, often rolling over to request belly rubs and soaking up affection from his people. Sweet and engaged: He takes treats gently. Even when wandering around exploring, he naturally comes back to reconnect. He may show interest in passing dogs but remains calm, without barkng. Larry would do well with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with dog friends outside the home.July 12, 2026, 12:37 am

Learn more hereBlanket is 3-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier weighing 72 pounds. He is a very shy, sensitive boy who has had a difficult time adjusting to shelter life. When overwhelmed, he tends to freeze in response to stress and is still building confidence with leash walking, though he's shown some nice progress during his foster stay. Blanket is looking for patient, experienced adopters familiar with fearful or shy dogs who can give him plenty of time and space to decompress and settle in at his own pace. A quiet, adult-only home would be ideal for him. Blanket would do well with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with dog friends outside the home.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:3Newman – Curious, Shy and Learning Newman is a Pit Bull Terrier mix weighing 33 pounds with striking coat markings and an endearing little snort that adds to his charm. This 10-month-old pup is still building confidence but has already shown himself to be gentle, curious, and eager to learn. Thoughtful young explorer: Newman pulls mildly on leash though he may pull moderately on leash at times to check out some spots. He enjoys sniffing adventures and likes investigating new smells at his own pace. Eager to learn: Highly treat motivated, Newman takes treats gently. While he’s still learning “sit,” he has already excelled at “touch” and happily follows treat lures during training sessions. Quietly affectionate: Newman prefers to stay close to his person and is gradually becoming more comfortable with pets as trust grows. Newman may do well with appropriately matched dogs though he may do best as a solo pet with patient adopters who can help him continue learning and gaining confidence.July 12, 2026, 12:37 am

Story
My daughter found Moose wandering in an intersection at night and brought him home. He was chipped and the owner was contacted but never responded. I got some information from the Contra Costa shelter where he had been found as a stray in November 2025 and reunited with his owner (while he was there he was vaccinated, chipped and neutered). Moose's birthday is August 5, 2025 so he is about 11 months old. Moose is super friendly and walks well on a leash (not perfect but not hard to handle). He loves to play chase with other dogs. He doesn't bark much when he's at home (not even at the mailman!). He loves toys but stuffed ones won't last very long. He is food-motivated for training. He knows sit and lie down pretty well. He is jumping up less but he definitely needs continued training. Moose is a wonderful dog and will make a fantastic pet for someone but I wasn't looking for a dog and don't want to keep him permanently. Please help me find a forever home for him!
