My story

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

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog H:3

Mattie is a gorgeous shepherd mix with soft, pettable fur and the cutest set of "bounce ears" that perk up and down when she runs. This playful girl has a joyful, bouncy energy that's impossible not to fall in love with. Watching her hop and skip while chasing balls is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face!

Mattie adores a good game of fetch—though she likes to make it a fun challenge by dropping the ball just out of reach and zooming off for round two. She's clever, already knows "sit" and "down," and takes treats gently, making training sessions enjoyable and rewarding.

When she's not playing, Mattie loves exploring her surroundings with her nose. She's a curious, sniffy adventurer who would thrive with an adopter ready to provide her with both physical exercise and mental enrichment.

Mattie enjoys meeting people and has been described as social and sweet. She may need some help polishing her leash manners and curbing her excitement jumps, but her eagerness to learn and her love for treats make her a quick study.

Mattie could be a great match for a home with appropriately matched dogs who love to play chase or as a solo dog with some canine friends for playdates. She's looking for an active, loving adopter who will help her channel her energy into fun, positive activities and continue her training journey.

If you're ready to welcome this bouncing bundle of joy into your life, come meet Mattie today! She can't wait to make you smile.

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.
