My story

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

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:5

Mimi is a beautiful 6-year-old brindle dog who radiates sweetness and calmness. She thrives on affection and positive encouragement, and her gentle nature makes her an easy companion. Mimi may take her time to adjust, but once she does, she's a loving and loyal friend who will melt your heart!

This 65-pound girl loves to take things at her own pace, and she's happiest when she's surrounded by a peaceful environment. While she enjoys her independence, Mimi also seeks attention from those she trusts and is always ready for a little treat and some gentle praise. She's very food motivated, which makes training her a joy. With some consistency and positive reinforcement, Mimi will continue to thrive and grow in her forever home.

Though Mimi enjoys the company of other dogs, she prefers a laid-back companion who respects her space. She's calm and non-reactive in dog interactions and would do best in a home with a dog who doesn't mind her neutral, independent vibe. While she's not a fan of high-energy play sessions, she's content to share a space with another dog who respects her boundaries.

Mimi is a little shy at first but opens up when she feels safe. She's been described as easygoing, and she's shown a real ability to relax in new environments. Whether it's a quiet walk around the neighborhood or lounging on a comfy bed, Mimi is a great companion for a family looking for a sweet, calm, and affectionate dog.

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.

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.
