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

If you’re into expressive, soulful eyes, adoptable Chapina is your girl! She gives the most intelligent, quizzical, and adorable faces. Even her eyebrows speak!

What we’ve learned about Chapina:

SO sweet and SO loving!
Potty-trained and non-destructive in house
Sweet and respectful with resident dog – she’d be your dog’s best friend!
Super responsive to her person
Food and praise motivated
Calm and relaxed in car
LOVES chin pets and back scratches, and rubbing through your legs
Athletic and playful, but undemanding about it
Curious, brave, and resilient, just needs a slow pace
Just wants to be at your side, loving you

From her foster family:

Chapina is blossoming outside of the scary shelter, and wow, she is a GEM. She is sweetness itself, and the most responsive foster we’ve had yet! This gentle, intelligent girl wants to connect so badly—she is going to be the most devoted companion to her family.
Chapina is affectionate with our resident dog, giving him little kisses and staying close. She would make the best friend to your best friend!
Although she seems like she has zero experience with most things, by your side Chapina is intelligent, curious, and brave. She’s a smart cookie, and strongly motivated by both food and praise, so she’s already good at previously scary things like stairs, getting into vans, and taking neighborhood walks. We even took her on vacation, and she was very easy and a joy to travel with!

Chapina is a sweet and sensitive soul who will likely need some time and space to decompress in a new home. For the patient adopter, the reward will be the most wonderful, loving, devoted dog. Chapina just wants to be loved and to love you! Follow Chapina as she gains confidence in foster with @oasfosteradventures on Instagram!

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.
