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 Shortcake! This 2-year-old, 48-pound pittie princess is a bundle of joy, ready to bring love, energy, and a little extra bounce to your life. With her sweet, affectionate nature, she might think she's a lapdog, but she’s also excited to explore the world around her with plenty of zoomies and curiosity. Whether she’s greeting you with a leg hug or running after a tennis ball (she’s still figuring out the "fetch" part!), Shortcake’s playful spirit will keep you smiling.

In her foster home, we're learning that she is truly an affectionate girl. She loves to give kisses, get snuggles, and will curl up in your lap for as long as you let her. She seems to already have potty training down, and sleeps well all night long on her dog bed.

Shortcake is easy on the leash and loves being outdoors. On walks, she’s a friendly girl, always curious about people, other dogs, and even passing cars, but she’s gentle and polite when interacting with everyone. At the shelter, Shortcake showed some stiffness and uncertainty when introduced to other dogs. She might do best as a solo dog with a family that can give her the attention she craves, or perhaps in a home with a well-matched dog.

This sweet girl is all love and would thrive where she can get plenty of affection and explore with her new family. Shortcake is ready to bring her joyful energy into your life! Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.

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.
