My story

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

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog J:5

Meet Archie! This 8-month-old pup has had a tough time adjusting to shelter life. Archie is naturally very shy, hesitant around people, and seeks out quiet corners to feel safe. But here's the beautiful part of his story—Archie is thriving in the playgroup program.

Around other dogs, Archie transforms into a completely different pup. His playful and gentle nature shines as he bounces around with his doggy friends, finally able to relax and be his puppy self. The influence of other dogs has been incredibly positive for Archie, showing us just how much he would benefit from a home with a confident and well-matched canine companion to help him build trust and confidence.

Archie needs an adopter who will meet him where he is—someone patient, gentle, and willing to let him set the pace. At first, he may be low-energy, spending much of his time resting and adjusting to his new surroundings. But with love, understanding, and a safe space to call his own, Archie has every potential to blossom into a loyal, loving companion.

If you're ready to be the hero Archie needs, he'll reward you with quiet moments of trust and the joy of seeing him come out of his shell, one small step at a time. Could you be the one to give Archie his second chance?

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.
