Meet Puma: The Mellow Heartthrob with Stunning Eyes!

Puma is a 5-year old charming pup who has won over many ladies’ hearts at the shelter with his captivating amber-colored eyes and his chill, mellow demeanor. This handsome dog is ready to bring his laid-back love and affection to a forever home.

Heartthrob Appeal: Puma has lots of lady fans at the shelter, captivated by his stunning amber-colored eyes and his chill demeanor.
Easygoing and Mellow: Puma is easy to handle and enjoys gentle interactions. With his relaxed and mellow demeanor, Puma is the perfect companion for anyone looking for a calm and easygoing friend.
Sociable and Independent: Puma interacts well with other gentle and independent dogs or can enjoy being a solo dog. He has been very tolerant with his wardmates’ playful antics.
Leash Manners: Puma walks nicely on a leash and is non-reactive to barking dogs, making walks a pleasant experience.
Affectionate and Treat-Motivated: With a wagging tail most of the time, Puma loves treats, takes them gently, and knows the “sit” command. He is eager to learn more and seemed to start figuring out "sit" during practice.

If you're looking for a gentle, treat-loving companion with stunning amber eyes, Puma is the right match. Follow him in foster with @ghramcats on Instagram! Click here to learn how to adopt, and submit your adoption questionnaire.

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.
