Honor an Icon for Animals on Her 100th Birthday
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.

OAS provides veterinary care for 136 pets at December community clinic
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!
