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 Lavash, the lovable 1-year-old Husky mix with a heart full of adventure and a smile that’s sure to melt yours! At 43 pounds, she’s the perfect size for a family ready for fun-filled outings and cuddle sessions. Lavash is all about affection—she’s a big fan of pets and cuddles, and she’s never met a stranger she didn’t like. She’s eager to please and responds well to positive reinforcement (she loves praise even more than treats!).

Lavash gets along beautifully with other dogs. She reads social cues well, making her an excellent playmate. Whether you have another dog or not, she’ll thrive as long as she has plenty of attention and exercise. She loves her walks and could be a natural runner; she's more polite on leash at a faster pace!

While she was in a temporary foster home, Lavash surprised her foster family with how much of a “lazy girl” she is during the day. Although she’s always happy to go for adventures, she’s also content with mental stimulation through things like chew toys and lick mats. Lavash has also done surprisingly well with crate training. Although she doesn’t love going into her crate, she remains calm, quiet, and non-destructive once inside, making her a great option for a crate-trained home.

Like many puppies, Lavash has a few areas for growth, including resource guarding of toys and being a bit picky about potty time (especially when it’s wet outside), but she’s a quick learner and will thrive with continued training and patience.

If you’re looking for a happy pup with a goofy grin to match her personality, Lavash is ready to start a lifetime of snuggles with you!

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.
