NOTE: Oakland Animal Services is aware that people who have lost pets have been contacted by scammers falsely claiming to be an OAS employee and asking for payment over the phone. If you are asked for payment online or over the phone by someone claiming to represent Oakland Animal Services, it is a scam and you should not pay. OAS will never ask for payment over the phone to retrieve your pet.
Do you see your lost pet listed? If so, please call us right away. Bring the items listed on our page on how to redeem your pet. Be sure to also take a look at resources on our lost pets page.
Please note:
- The animals on this page are lost/found pets and not pets available for adoption. Adoptable pets can be viewed on our adopt a companion page.
- Age/breeds are often estimates and may not be accurate.
- Some of these animals get new names under our care.
- If a photo isn’t included in the listing, it may be an animal that is currently under medical treatment, an animal who arrived at the shelter already deceased, or a stray kitten under 2 months of age.
