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 Frodo, a sweet and lovable pup who’s ready to be your new best friend! At around 2 years old and 70 lbs, this Malinois mix is a great blend of affectionate, playful, and gentle. With his long legs and even longer snout, Frodo’s got a charming look that will melt your heart every morning with kisses and happy tail wags. â¤ï¸

Frodo is house-trained (not a single accident!) and non-destructive—he hasn’t chewed on anything he’s not supposed to and just gently nibbles on a tennis ball now and then. When it comes to treats, he’s super gentle, and he’s respectful of counters and furniture, making him easy to have around the house. He occasionally mouths a hand or leg when he’s feeling playful, but he’s so gentle and easily redirected with treats or toys.

On walks, Frodo is calm and curious. He’s non-reactive to people, bikes, cars, and other dogs, and while he may stop to check out a passing pup, he’s easy to get moving again. He likes to keep a brisk pace (those long legs love to stretch!), and while he might pull lightly on the leash, he’s still quite manageable.

Frodo loves people and thrives on companionship. He’s a little reserved when meeting new faces, allowing gentle pets from strangers, but once he warms up, he’s a big cuddle bug who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. Because of his strong desire for company, Frodo has some separation anxiety and barks when left alone—he would do best in a home where he won’t be alone often or with a family that can help him learn to feel safe and secure.

If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who just wants to be by your side, Frodo is ready to bring all his love and sweetness into your life.

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.
