At our community outreach clinic this month held at Arroyo Viejo Park, 64 pets 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!

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.

As you probably know, the world lost a beloved actor and animal advocate when Golden Girl Betty White passed away recently, just shy of what would have been her 100th birthday–today, January 17.
And by now you may also have heard about a national campaign to honor Betty on this day. Animal lovers across the nation are donating $5 or more to their local shelters, in celebration of White’s many decades of commitment to animal welfare.
Friends of Oakland Animal Services invites you to join us in this loving tribute to Betty–can you give $5 (or more!) to celebrate her lifetime of advocacy on this special day?
Even better, consider making a monthly gift of $5 or more! For just the cost of one coffee drink, or one gallon of gas (!) each month, you can help FOAS continue to build the steady foundation that will enable us to serve Oakland’s neediest animals for the next 100 years.
