My story

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

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog I:10

Meet Goose, a gentle and playful 2-year-old, 55-pound sweetheart with a love for life’s little adventures! Goose is a social pup who has a knack for making friends in his own low-key way. In playgroups, he’s shown off his signature moves—think bouncy play bows, playful trots, and the occasional happy hop as he bounds around with other pups. He’s got a neutral, easygoing vibe and loves a good chase game with other gentle dogs.

Goose has a calm demeanor and a loving personality, thriving in the company of kind humans who enjoy some cuddles as much as he does! He’s polite on leash, though he can be a bit of a zig-zagger (just keeping things interesting!), and he’s responsive to gentle guidance. With his temporary foster family, Goose has been a total joy—friendly, affectionate, and always eager to check in for some love.

While he can be cautious in busy or new environments, Goose is easily reassured by his people, and with time and patience, he’ll be a wonderful, loyal companion. A quiet home where he can continue to grow his confidence, ideally with some positive reinforcement training, would be perfect for him. Goose would do well either as a solo dog or with a gentle, well-matched dog friend to romp around with.

If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate pup who’ll bring a sense of calm and joy into your home, come meet Goose! He’s ready to be your loving sidekick on all life’s adventures.

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.
