My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more here

Meet Nacho, a charming and cuddly boy who's ready to find his forever home. With his wiggly tail and gentle nature, Nacho is sure to steal your heart. This affectionate pup loves to be around people but isn't clingy, making him the perfect companion for those who appreciate a little independence. A true nap king, Nacho enjoys lounging around and soaking up the sun. He's also a fantastic walking buddy, although he may get a little excited around other animals. Don't worry, though; he'll keep your yard squirrel-free!

With his softest fur and the most gentle cuddles, Nacho is a dream to be around. He has received rave reviews from his two fosters, and two other foster families who have provided short-term coverage for him. He's respectful of boundaries and won't jump on the furniture (or all over you!) unless invited. He is totally housetrained, does not chew or get into things he isn't supposed to, and is welcoming of visitors. He does not mind sleeping on his own outside of your room, but if you want a cuddle buddy, he will certainly be first in line for that!

And if you're looking for a treat-motivated pup, Nacho is your guy! He loves engaging with kongs, treat puzzles, and bully sticks and is always eager to learn new commands. While Nacho is already a wonderful companion, his future family should be prepared to work with him on maintaining composure on walks around lots of excitement. He tested well with other dogs and could go to a home with another well-matched dog or as a solo dog with dog friends.

If you're looking for a loving, independent, and easy-going dog, Nacho is the perfect match for you! Follow him in foster with @oas_foster_friends 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.
