Kitten Adopt-a-thon on Sunday, Aug. 2
Update: Thank you to everyone who helped make our adopt-a-thon such a success! We adopted out 29 cats and kittens, a record! Big thanks to our cat volunteers who organized the event!
Come to our first annual kitten adopt-a-thon! Every summer, the Oakland Animal Shelter gets hundreds of kittens. If you’ve thought about adopting a cat or kitten, now is the time! For only $35 you can take home your new best friend. This adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations!
On Sunday, August 2 from 1-4 p.m., we are hosting a special kitten adopt-a-thon in hopes of finding homes for many of our shelter kittens. Volunteers will show you kittens that have just become old enough for adoption, and a photographer will send you home with a special photo of you and your new kitten!
P.S. We have many adult cats looking for good homes, too! The $35 adoption fee also applies!
Wolfy Selected for Search and Rescue!
Wolfy, a 1.5-year-old hound mix at Oakland Animal Services, has been selected by Search Dog Foundation to be trained to be a search and rescue dog. Wolfy was surrendered to the Shelter in March after his owners had lost their home.
He is an extremely active, high energy dog who was going to be tough to adopt into a family home. This dog needs to work! After watching Wolfy’s intense ball drive, Oakland Animal Services contacted Search Dog Foundation to see if they would test him. They sent two of the volunteers to the Shelter and he past all of their tests with flying colors.
Search Dog Foundation will now professionally train Wolfy and then partner him firefighters and other first responders at no cost to their departments. They will ensure lifetime care for him so he will never need to be rescued again.
