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 Ares, the sweet and soulful 2-year-old boy who's ready to find his forever home! We promise, this gentle red-coated pup is nothing like his mythological namesake—he’s all about love, cuddles, and being close to his people. At 48 lbs, Ares is a calm and affectionate cuddle bug who loves to lean in for pets and enjoy those quiet, tender moments with his humans.

Since being in foster care, Ares’ true personality has really started to shine. He’s been a wonderful house guest and has proven to be a quick learner. He’s fully potty trained, sleeps in his crate at night without issue, and can comfortably make it up to 6 hours in his crate. Ares is also great with other dogs—he takes redirection cues from his much smaller foster brother like a champ!

Ares is a very friendly and playful boy who enjoys his daily walks and does well around children, dogs, and people in his neighborhood. He loves exploring and walks about a mile each day—he’d probably enjoy longer walks or even runs. On the leash, he’s calm, but he can get a little excited when he spots a squirrel or bird. He’s doing well with leash training, and with continued guidance, he’ll be even better.

Though he’s still a bit of a quiet guy, Ares will softly whine if he wants to be involved in the action. He hasn’t barked once, and he’s been a model house guest, soaking up all the love and attention he can get. Ares is also learning new commands like touch, sit, shake, down, and off—he’s eager to please!

Ares would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can continue to build his confidence and be his sweet, gentle self. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who’s ready to be your cuddle buddy and walk with you on adventures, Ares might be your perfect match! Come meet him today and see how much love he has to offer. â¤ï¸

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.
