by We have the following dogs available at the Oakland Animal Shelter.
Volunteers and foster homes are always welcome. More information about
the shelter follows at the end of this post.
I've changed the format here a little bit, highlighting dogs that need
special homes, dogs available now, puppies (lots of puppies), small dogs,
etc.
SPECIAL HOMES NEEDED
LAB MIX
F. Older dog, about 10. Yellow. Not purebred, but close. This is a
wonderful girl! She was found at Lake Merritt. She has obviously been
someone's beloved pet and has more good years left in her. She is very
friendly and very beautiful.
Kennel#24 Animal Control#122285 Available 7/30
LAB MIX (yellow)
This dog could really use some help. He came into the shelter all torn up
from an encounter with some pitbulls, but he is recovering nicely. In
spite of his discomfort, he is very friendly and alert.
M. About 3. I think he may be part Sharpei. Whatever he is, he is very
sweet, about 50 lbs., smooth yellow coat and very "labby" in appearance
except for his wrinkled forehead and jowly muzzle. That's where I see
Sharpei.

very handsome and friendly.
Kennel#30 Animal Control#122917 Available Now
LAB MIX (2/black)
8 weeks. "Lab mix" is a guess here. That is what the puppies look like.
They came in with their mother. She is a black&tan dog and looks like she
might have some border collie in her. She is very beautiful and the pups
are darling!

Kennel#1 Animal Control#123128 Available 8/1
HEINZ 57 (listed as "shepX")
F. 12 weeks. This is a funny little dog. She is a very pretty
tri-color. From her markings she looks like she might be part Aussie.
However, he is short and stubby, so who knows what else is in her. She is
really darling, intelligent and outgoing.
Kennel#1 Animal Control#122279 Available 7/30
PITBULL MIX
F. 4 months. Very pretty dog. Slender, narrow head, red and white
markings. Friendly.

HEINZ 57
F. 10 weeks. This is a very pretty little black&tan dog. She is listed
as "shep/husky," but I don't see it. She is smallish, probably will be
about 40 lbs when grown. She is very sweet, outgoing and talkative. She
loves attention!
Kennel#1 Animal Control#122307 Available 7/27
NEWFOUNDLAND MIX
M. 3 mos. This is a beautiful dog. He is black and white and looks like
a Newfie/border collie mix. If so, he is not one of the UC dogs; they are
all accounted for. He's huge! He still has his puppy teeth and he is
already about 40 lbs.
He is very friendly and affectionate.
Kennel#31 Animal Control#122301 Available 8/1
SHEPHERD MIX
M. 3 mos. This is a little sable-colored guy. He is very sweet,
affectionate, intelligent, etc. Sorry to use the same old adjectives for
the shepherd mixes, but they all apply. His name is Toby and he will
probably be about 60 lbs when grown.
Kennel#5 Animal Control#122309 Available 8/1
