He's an absolutely wonderful cat, full of love and spirit. His favorite thing to do is to play fetch with hair ties, chasing them and bringing them back for hours and hours. He and his best buddy, Moki, a Himalayan, love cuddling up and attacking one another. Thank you for helping me find the perfect cat :) We adopted “Brett”, now Bradley, just a few months ago.

I visited the shelter 4 times and couldn't believe he hadn't been adopted. He was very depressed and would sit in my lap like a baby. After my fourth visit I was leaving I turned around and there he was at the gate watching me go. Well that was it! Henry is a love. He is funny and smart. Someone loved him and trained him. I am the lucky recipient of his training. I have never regretted a day since I adopted him. Any one that is considering adoption should spend some time visiting shelters and researching dog breeds. There are so many great animals deserving a good life languishing in shelters. I adopted Henry a couple of years ago. I visited the shelter 4 times and couldn’t believe he hadn’t been adopted.

The two are inseprable & Rudy has always been a warm & loving addition to our home. Thanks to all the folks at the OAS for all your help.

He is always at my side keeping my company. I am so happy that we went to the shelter the day we did because he is just the ray of sunshine we were looking for.

As they doze by our sunny windows and I reflect on the past year, I see how our relationship has deepened since adoption day way back in 2010. Thanks, OAS, for helping us find each other.

She has been so AWESOME. Just before Christmas we started thinking about adopting a dog, we weren't quite sure about the idea yet, with our 2 cats and new place we wanted to think about if we were ready to add a new member to the family. We thought Doris was so adorable, but still unsure about our level of commitment. A few weeks later we decided to take another look at the dogs; Doris was still there, super cute, calm, sweet. We couldn't think of leaving her this time. We had our landlord meet us at the shelter with her big dogs right away, so they could all meet. Ever since then we have all been super happy! She is the leader of the pack and a big little goof ball. We even ran into a man that remembered seeing her at OAS, but decided to adopt another dog. Doris was definitely meant to be ours. She has learned so much and has taught us a lot about being great puppy parents. We love having her with us everywhere we go! We adopted Doris almost one year ago(January 4th).

When we got him home he trembled and hid for a few days. He is now settling in and likes to lick our hands and give us baths. He is a very sweet boy. Here is a picture of him on the table posing next to the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

She has grown into a beautiful and playful girl. She enjoys going to the doggy park and plays like there is no tomorrow. She is a fast runner and loves to have everyone chase her. She has an older sister Pimi (a senior chihuahua) who has come to accept her after the three months she has been with us. Mika is a very sweet and smart girl, we hope to go back to Oakland Animal Services for the training classes offered on Saturdays. We are so glad we brought Mika into our lives.
