    Everyone loves a Ballpark Frank, and this one comes with extra sweetness! This 12-year-old orange-and-white boy is serving up a generous helping of affection. He loves being petted so much that he may even try to climb onto you when you visit. Why settle for affection on the side when you can have the whole order? Frank has also been showing off quite an appetite at the shelter. A kind Samaritan found him on the street with a mouth injury and brought him to OAS. The injury turned out to be old, and it hasn't dampened his enthusiasm for attention or a good meal. You bring the meals and pets; Frank will bring the love. This sweet senior is ready for a home where he can be someone's favorite Fr…

  25. Pixel, Domestic Short Hair / MixedPixelYoung · Male · Domestic Short Hair / MixedOakland, ca · 24.4 mi

    Good with cats

    Pixel came to the shelter after a stretch of living wild in a regional park, and at two years old he still runs at full brightness. He lights up when he spots you through the door, with a few words for you if you've kept him waiting, then makes his rounds from lap to bench to window, rubbing on everything along the way and rarely holding still long enough to come into focus. Then he'll plant his front two paws on your lap to enjoy your attention. He's been staying for longer petting sessions, giving us more time to appreciate the sweet guy beneath all that energy. Play works best when it lets him hunt. Tuck a toy behind something and his sharp eyes will lock right on. Treats also get a very …

Medical information from the OAS veterinary staff about Dax will be provided to all who meet Dax so they you can make an informed adoption decision about this sweet 'ol guy. Come meet Dax for yourself, but a word of caution, he may steal your heart. View this post on Instagram…

    ​ Izzy and Bee are two 4-month-old girls with solid gray fur. Shelter life has felt a bit overwhelming for these two, but treats and toys are helping them take some brave steps—from cautiously watching to figuring out how to chase and play. They're looking for someone who will root for them and continue to encourage them to play and explore. Izzy and Bee have upper respiratory infections and could use some TLC. OAS will share their medical records and any care or medication instructions with potential adopters. Izzy and Bee have each other, now they just need you to help them discover the fun of being kittens.

  31. Penelope, Domestic Short Hair / MixedPenelopeYoung · Female · Domestic Short Hair / MixedOakland, ca · 24.4 mi

    Penelope has done a fair bit of waiting. This one-year-old black-and-white girl arrived at the shelter as a very young mother, worn thin from raising a litter, and she's been holding out for a home of her own ever since. She comes straight to the kennel door when someone stops by, leans her head into their hands and purrs, and cheek scratches are the way to her heart. She is also sensitive, and her tail tells the story: once it starts to swish, she has had enough, and a slow, easy pace keeps things sweet. Kennel life and noisy neighbors wear on her, and she's tense around other cats, so she'd do best as an only cat, or with very slow introductions, with adopters who know how to read her cues…

    Bennie is a 2-year-old, 46-pound pittie mix who's really come into his own. Once a little unsure, he now happily plays fetch and flops over for full-body wiggles. On field trips, Bennie enjoys running on the beach, exploring trails, and greeting people with a wagging tail. He walks nicely on leash, often checking over his shoulder to make sure you're still with him. Squirrels definitely bring out his bouncy side, but he responds well to hand signals for "sit," and is a quick learner when treats are involved. After an adventure, he's happy to nap in the car. Our volunteer groomer reported he startles easily, but recovers quickly with a little reassurance. Otherwise, this sweet and cuddly guy …

    This dog is available to meet by appointment only. Angus is a 14-pound, 1-year-old small mixed-breed dog with a medium-length black coat. He can be fearful and avoidant of handling, and leashing can be difficult. Treats and a patient, unhurried approach help him warm up, but he will need time and space to build trust. He shares a kennel and attends playgroups with other small male dogs. Angus needs a patient adopter who understands fearful dogs and is willing to work at his pace. A home without young children would be best Please submit an adoption questionnaire to meet him.

    Good with dogs

    Sweet Demi has come such a long way from the days when she was living in a basement. Initially under-socialized, she's spent time with a few fosters who let her come out of her shell on her own terms. Patience is key with the shy ones. And Demi learned to trust her foster families. At home, she's been an absolutely easy foster - quiet, potty trained, crate trained and can be left home alone. She stays close to her foster siblings in and out of the house. Demi is 3 years old and 36 pounds. She'll need a patient and experienced adopter with resident dogs. Looking for a special and soft pup to add to your pack?
