Oakland Animal Services (OAS) is Oakland's only open admissions shelter, and takes in about 6,000 animals annually. Friends of OAS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting the agency by raising funds to provide medical care, lab work, enrichment and beds for the shelter's animals. Friends of OAS also funds the foster program, adoptions program, facility improvements, animal transports, and staff training. https://friendsofoas.org/

In 2020, OAS joined the Human Animal Support Services (HASS) coalition as a Tier 1 pilot shelter. HASS promotes community collaboration to reimagine the role of animal services, transforming the sheltering system through innovative programs and services. OAS participates in the Home-to-Home program to help find new homes for animals without requiring a stay at the shelter: https://oas.home-home.org/

Hyena face, genius brain, and an urgent need for a home this weekend!

Chad finds kennel life stressful, but outside he’s a delight - toy in mouth and tail wagging. He knows sit, down, touch, and paw, takes treats politely, and thinks fetch is the best invention ever.

He’s not a meet-and-greet guy. He's a get-to-know-you-and-then- never-leave-your-side kind of guy. 🩶

Chad has loved wrestling with his playgroup pals, so he could thrive with a well-matched dog buddy or as a solo pup with dog friends. He’ll do best with a patient adopter who lets him settle in at his own pace.

Chad is available by appointment. Submit an adoption questionnaire (link in bio) or email [email protected]. He’s ready for his people now!

We Rate Shelter Dogs: OAS Edition 🐶✨

This week: spooning shifts with a fair switch policy, a sweater-weather natural, a doomy face with a dignified preferred name, and a clearance stuffie checkout. Ratings conducted using highly scientific methods. All highly adoptable, obviously. 😌🧸🧣 Also: Tara witnessed a treat being broken in half, bravely, and has since moved on to a rescue partner.

Featuring: Bluey, Beanie, Chuckles, Chad

Caspian has been through a lot, and he still shows up with his whole heart. He’s a affectionate, energetic guy who loves sniffing, exploring, tug, and being close to his people. Cheese and chicken get his full attention, and he already knows sit!

Caspian is still learning his dog social skills. He could thrive with a well-matched canine friend, or as the star of the household.

He’s ready for the good chapter. Could it start with you?
