A King Without a Castle . . .
This week’s featured animal is King, a silly, bouncy American Staffordshire terrier and French bulldog mix with a lot of name to live up to. A handsome, medium-size adult with a glossy black coat, a white crest on his chest, and ears that you just don’t forget once you’ve seen them, King will take his rightful place in your heart in a moment.
Lovable, energetic, affectionate, and curious, King is all that and more. Exploring and sniffing the big yard, going all out when playing with his human or doggie buddies, or zooming crazily while playing ball, King has all the energy of a young dog one minute and then is snuggling up next to you on the couch the next. He is a happy boy who is eager to please.
King is also one of the longer-term dogs at the shelter. As much of a favorite as he is with staff and volunteers, we’re all hoping for him to find his forever home . . . or, rather, castle . . . very soon. Seek an audience with the King (ID#10071) at Oakland Animal Services.
Adoption gifts for adult cats
The next ten adopters of an adult cat (the cat must be over one year old) receive a gift bag courtesy of our wonderful cat volunteers. The gifts include a brush, toys, treats, and coupons.
We have many wonderful adult cats who are looking for homes. Meet Livia, for example:
Livia is a very sweet five-year-old Turkish Van mix female. She loves to play with anything that moves — strings are one of her favorite toys. Come meet her and many other cats at Oakland Animal Services. The $35 adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, a microchip, and a gift bag for the next ten adopters. You will have almost everything you need for your new feline companion.
EBSPCA, PETS Referral and OAS Help Puppy
This adorable shepherd puppy was found after she had been hit by a car on Saturday night. A good samaritan rushed her to PETS Referral Center in Berkeley, where the staff treated her for an injured rear leg, a deep laceration on her front leg, and other bumps and cuts. Oakland Animal Services then took her into our care where she spent the day being monitored in the director’s office and given lots of love and attention by the shelter volunteers. One of the OAS animal care attendants then volunteered to take the little girl home over night to keep a close eye on her. OAS then called the East Bay SPCA who agreed to take on the injured puppy. They were able to x-ray her and discovered that she has a fracture of her left tibia. She is resting comfortably now and will be given great care by EBSPCA, who will find her a home when she has fully healed. Thank you to everyone for their help! It just shows that it takes a village of animal lovers….

Thank you to Happy Hound Play and Daycare
Happy Hound donates their grooming services to Oakland Animal Services each and every week to groom shelter dogs. This an incredible gift because this service makes the dogs so much more adoptable and comfortable. For example, today they groomed one of our dogs who was so matted that his ears were covered in fur which was hiding a severe ear infection.
