At our community outreach clinic this month held at Arroyo Viejo Park, 100 dogs and 32 cats in Oakland received free medical care from our veterinary team, including vaccinations, microchips, and veterinary exams. Pet food and supplies such as collars, leashes, harnesses, and tags were also provided to pet guardians at no cost.

We are so grateful to Councilmembers Loren Taylor and Treva Reid for supporting this effort. We also certainly could not have done this without all the help from our amazing volunteers and staff. Thank you all so very much. Stay tuned for our next community outreach clinic date!

Oakland Animal Services is holding a free community outreach clinic for Oakland residents at Arroyo Viejo Park (7701 Krause Ave, Oakland) on Sunday June 12, 2022 from 10am to 2pm.

We need your help! All of our dog kennels are completely full and we have new animals entering the shelter every day. We have an unprecedented number of large dogs (almost 100!) currently available for adoption, and we urgently need homes for these dogs.

Please come by to adopt a large dog! We have wonderful dogs to fit your household and lifestyle, and our matchmakers will help you find the perfect match.

We are extending our adoption hours this week, May 5-8, and will be open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, from 12 to 7pm, and Sunday from 12 to 3pm. Additionally, thanks to Bissell Empty the Shelters, adoption fees will be just $20 for all animals.

Exciting news! OAS was recently featured in The Oaklandside announcing that adoptions are up and the numbers of dogs being euthanized are at historic lows.

Our transition from a shelter-based model to a community-based model is paying off! In this model, we place more emphasis and effort on keeping pets with their loving families and in foster homes instead of being housed in the shelter.

This is a huge win for us as Oakland’s only open-admission shelter which takes in over 5,000 animals each year.

Thanks to a generous grant from Petco Love, we were able to hold a community clinic at Verdese Carter Park this month. The clinic was open to the public, serving residents of East Oakland. The clinic was a tremendous success, with 136 pets receiving free medical care from our veterinary team.

Veterinary treatment included vaccinations, flea medication, microchips, and veterinary exams.  In addition, pet food and supplies such as collars, leashes, harnesses, and tags were provided to pet guardians at no cost.

We are so grateful to Petco Love for their generous grant! We also certainly could not have done this without all the help from our amazing volunteers and staff. Thank you all so much!
