My story

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

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more here

Meet Muffins, a sweet, cuddly, and lovable 4-year-old gal who’s ready to bring joy to your life. She was found running in the middle of a road, and made sure we also found her injured friend who was hiding nearby! Despite her rough start, Muffins is nothing but a delight to be around. At 57 pounds, Muffins is a charming mix of friendly energy and gentle affection.

In her foster home, Muffins has settled into a nice routine, including potty time and crate time. She’s a fan of a good cuddle session and is very affectionate, always wagging her tail and wiggling happily when she’s getting love from her people. While she’s not overly interested in toys, Muffins is still playful with the occasional zoomie and has a great appetite. She’s highly food motivated and already knows "sit," and she's working on "stay." She's an easygoing girl who enjoys her walks, though she might pull a bit when captivated by the birds she spots along the way.

Muffins is friendly with other dogs but tends to keep to herself when meeting new ones. She would do best with a dog friend who matches her vibe, or even as a solo dog, depending on the right fit. She’s a nice medium-energy pup who’s ready to be your loving companion!

If you're looking for a sweet and affectionate dog to add to your home, Muffins may be a great fit. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.

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.
