My story

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

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog J:2

Meet the adorable Becky, a 30 lb Chihuahua mix with boundless puppy energy that's just too heart-melting to resist! â¤ï¸

Straight from the foster mom:

“Becky is an avid snuggler and her favorite position is rolled over on her back, paws in the air, ready for belly rubs. At night, she prefers being smushed between my partner and me or tucked under the covers for some cozy slumber.

She's a toy enthusiast and loves her chewing time, mostly keeping her munching to her toys (with just a humorous incident involving undies and a pillowcase!). Due to her love for chewing, she does need to be crated when you're away.

Becky is also treat-motivated and has amazed me with her quick learning skills. From not even knowing "sit" when she first arrived, she now proudly follows commands like sit, down, wait, leave it, and off. We're still working on "give me paw," and she's making progress with a wink .

Becky is a little darling who often takes her cues from her older(?) sister, Mila. When Mila barks, Becky joins in. This is something we're actively working on – building their confidence in their home environment.

We've left both girls at home for up to 4 hours at a time. Becky may cry in her crate initially, but eventually, both girls settle in. Mila has been a champ, hanging out in the living room alone. These girls don't require a lot of space; they thrive in a calm environment and enjoy a good long walk during the day.”

Becky is the perfect addition to a loving home that appreciates her charming quirks and boundless energy. Get ready for a lifetime of snuggles and adorable puppy moments!

Submit Application

If you are interested in adopting this pet, please submit an application: https://www.oaklandanimalservices.org/adopt/how-to-adopt/

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.
