Oakland Animal Services (OAS) is Oakland's only open admissions shelter, and takes in about 6,000 animals annually. Friends of OAS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting the agency by raising funds to provide medical care, lab work, enrichment and beds for the shelter's animals. Friends of OAS also funds the foster program, adoptions program, facility improvements, animal transports, and staff training. https://friendsofoas.org/

In 2020, OAS joined the Human Animal Support Services (HASS) coalition as a Tier 1 pilot shelter. HASS promotes community collaboration to reimagine the role of animal services, transforming the sheltering system through innovative programs and services. OAS participates in the Home-to-Home program to help find new homes for animals without requiring a stay at the shelter: https://oas.home-home.org/

We Rate Shelter Dogs: OAS Edition 🐶✨

Ratings conducted using highly scientific methods. All highly adoptable, obviously. 😌👑🧁

Priority dog Harley needs her person now!

A little shy at first, then the wiggles take over. She's a champion at treat-hunting games, a professional snuggler, and a lap climber who takes treats like a lady. Give her a little time and she'll give you all the love. She does best as the star of the household.

Come meet her at OAS this weekend!
