My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog I:6

Say hello to Strawberry, a 1-year-old, 52-pound bundle of energy and love! This sweet German Shepherd mix is full of spunk, charm, and an eagerness to please. Whether she's playing chase with other dogs or getting belly rubs from her human pals, Strawberry's joy is contagious!

Strawberry is an affectionate and playful girl who adores people of all ages. She’s also great with other dogs, though she’d thrive best in a home with dog companions who can keep up with her high energy. She’s a quick learner, eager to please, and highly treat-motivated, making training a breeze. She’s still working on her manners (like jumping for attention or counter-surfing for snacks), but with some guidance, she'll become the well-behaved companion you’ve been looking for!

While Strawberry has some quirks—like being a bit of a leash-reactive girl when it comes to fast-moving people, cyclists, and birds—she’s already showing great progress with her training. She’s smart, determined, and loves learning new tricks, like sit, touch, and down. She'll need a patient owner who can continue to work on her leash skills and her socialization with the world around her.

Strawberry is a fun-loving, adventurous spirit, ready to brighten your days with her happy, goofy nature. No kids under 7 recommended—her jumpy energy may be too much for younger kiddos. She’s still learning to be the best dog she can be, so if you’re ready for a sweet, spunky, and super smart companion who’s bound to steal your heart, Strawberry is the girl for you!

Additional adoption info

Thank you for considering adopting a shelter pet! There are two ways to adopt:
1. Visit our shelter (1101 29th Ave) Saturday or Sunday from 12-3pm, when we are open for adoptions.
2. Use our online process as described at www.oaklandanimalservices.org Adoptions are first-come-first-served. While we try our best to get back to everyone via our online process, sometimes it takes several days or a week or two, and the pet you are interested in may get adopted during our open adoption hours.

Please note that inquires submitted through this website about this pet may not receive an immediate response due to the large volume of inquires we receive. If you are interested in adopting this pet, please submit an adoption application to be considered.

Adoption requirements:
- You must be 18 years of age or older with a valid California driver’s license or other acceptable identification
- Never have had any cruelty convictions, animal control violations or broken any adoption contracts in the past
- Agree to and sign the “Statement of Adopter” on the adoption questionnaire which includes a waiver of liability
- Pay the adoption fees and applicable licensing fees. Fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchip
- All animals, including rabbits, must be spayed or neutered. If the pet you are interested in adopting is not yet spayed/neutered, a staff member will discuss next steps with you

Additional information for dog adopters:
- Other canines in the home must meet the new dog prior to adoption.
- Provide proof of home ownership or permission to have a dog from your landlord. We cannot hold the dog that you want to adopt while you try to meet this requirement.
- Agree to a home inspection if the dog is a large breed dog or dog that has been identified to need additional attention.
- Be aware of the Oakland and State Laws about dog ownership.

We do not place adoption holds on any animals.

More about this shelter

As the city of Oakland’s sole open-admissions animal shelter, Oakland Animal Services’ duties are as diverse as the community we serve. Operating on the leanest of budgets, Oakland Animal Services (OAS) operates the city’s animal control unit, enforcing animal welfare and public safety laws, provides care for stray and surrendered animals, supports lost pet searches and reunions, and facilitates the placement of homeless animals via public adoptions and coordination with transfer partners near and far. The needs of the community are great, but so are the results of a job well done: the enhancement of quality of life for humans and animals alike.
