The Oakland Animal Shelter has lots of lovable small dogs available for adoption. Find the right dog for you at our small dog adopt-a-thon!

On Sunday, October 18, from noon to 5 p.m., we’re hosting a special adopt-a-thon just for our small dogs at the shelter. Each adopted dog will receive a free gift (while supplies last)—but, more importantly, they’ll get a good home.
Come meet small dogs like Wheatley!
The $135 adoption fee covers spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchipping. Please bring proof of home ownership or a document showing that your landlord allows dogs (a lease or a letter).
Check out all of our dogs and our other adoptable animals on Petfinder! See you Sunday, October 18!
Oakland Firefighters Rescue Wounded Pitbull
One heart-winning young pit bull will soon meet with the Oakland firefighters who saved his life. Remy, as the dog’s rescuers named him, was the victim of a shooting here in Oakland nearly three months ago. Firefighters responding to the call of “shots fired” that evening on May 7, 2009 arrived on the scene fully expecting to find a human in need . . . but were hard-pressed to find any victim at all. That is, until a careful search of the Oakland address led firefighter Ryan Minnagen to a black-and-white pit bull puppy suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Firefighters on the scene rushed the injured dog onto their fire truck and to a local emergency veterinary clinic. As luck would have it, the team members that day were all dog lovers, firefighter Dwight Garcia explained; no one hesitated in getting the dog the quickest treatment possible.
The puppy won over the veterinary clinic staff as quickly as he had the firefighters. Everyone was pulling for the pup‘s survival despite the fact that Remy had multiple gunshot wounds, including his front leg, pelvis, and back. Vet staff even shared nights fostering little Remy while he stabilized, and everyone’s efforts paid off: He was eventually ready for transfer to Oakland Animal Services, where he has been since May 27th, enough time to once again became a favorite of staff and volunteers alike.
Despite all of the effort behind Remy’s recovery since the shooting, the pup isn’t totally in the clear. One of the bullets that struck Remy’s legs damaged a growth plate in his front leg, causing that bone to stop growing even as the others around it continued. The result is that one of Remy’s front legs has bowed significantly, and he will need surgery to correct the condition. Oakland Animal Shelter’s nonprofit foundation, Friends of Oakland Animal Services, has begun gathering donations to fund the surgery, which will be performed by a local veterinary specialist. Several local vets regularly perform such intricate procedures for Oakland Animal Shelter’s needy animals at a discounted cost.
With any luck–and Remy seems to have a lot of it–this affable little pit bull will soon be meeting his firefighter friends on a much happier occasion. Maybe his next ride in a fire engine will be just for fun.
Donations for Remy’s surgery and other animals like him can be made HERE or sent to Friends of the Oakland Animal Shelter, 1101 29th Ave. Oakland, CA 94601. Here are some photos of Remy today!

"There's no place like home"
We called Ana today with great news – we found her dog Toto! She had lost him nearly five months ago! Toto was brought in by a citizen who found him wandering in the street. Poor Toto was bruised, scraped, skinny, and caked in dirt and foxtails. We were able to quickly reunite him with his owner Ana because of Toto’s microchip that East Bay SPCA had implanted in Toto at one of their community dog fairs. Toto is going to be fine and he’s eager to return home! This story reminds us all of the importance of microchipping!!!
Ana reunited with Toto!
It is so important to microchip your pet! Every animal that is adopted from Oakland Animal Services comes with a microchip.
