Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog I:5Baobao – Gentle, Graceful, and Quietly Affectionate Baobao is a female Belgian Shepherd Malinois mix, just over 1 year old and about 56 pounds. She has a mellow, thoughtful nature and great leash manners, making her a lovely walking companion. Wonderful on leash: Baobao walks with only very mild pulling, staying calm and relaxed even when other dogs pass by. Quietly affectionate: She may seem a little independent initially, but would increase her friendly “drive-by” greetings as she gets to know you. Polite learner: Baobao takes treats gently and responds to “sit.” With people she trusts, she’ll even sweetly offer her “paw.” Curious explorer: She enjoys sniffing and calmly exploring her surroundings. Dog social: Baobao plays nicely in doggie playgroup and enjoys a friendly game of chase with other dogs. Baobao would do well in a multi-dog home or as a solo dog with social canine friends.March 30, 2026, 3:08 am

Learn more hereBento is a 5-month-old Malinois mix with a playful personality, a sharp mind, and lots of puppy charm. He’s an energetic, curious pup who loves learning new things and being part of the action. In his foster home, Bento has been a great little student. He sleeps well in his crate at night, is working on potty training, and already knows sit, down, and spin. He loves toys, enjoys chewing on appropriate items, and is even starting to learn fetch. Bento is very social with other dogs and currently lives with four adult dogs. He especially enjoys playing with medium- to high-energy dog friends and has done great at puppy socials, though he can be a bit much for shy ones. True to his breed, Bento will thrive with an active adopter ready to provide training, enrichment, and adventure as he grows into a loyal, fun-loving companion. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.         View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Oakland Animal Services (OAS) (@oaklandanimalservices)  March 30, 2026, 3:08 am

Story
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 hereKris is an 8-year-old, 70-pound sweetheart who may be a senior on paper, but he’s got the athleticism and enthusiasm of a younger dog. He’s playful and can catch a ball midair like an absolute champ. If fetch is your love language, Kris is already fluent! His foster family reports Kris is the definition of easy. He’s fully potty trained, relaxed, and happy to entertain himself with toys or settle in beside you once he’s had his fun. He has wonderful house manners and has an all-around good-natured temperament. He knows cues like sit, enjoys learning, and loves pleasing his people. He’s excellent on leash, making walks smooth and enjoyable. He’s curious and loves exploring, but always with a calm, steady energy. Kris was a family dog before arriving at the shelter, and you can feel how ready he is to be part of a home again. He’d be happy as your one-and-only companion or potentially a good match for another mellow dog. This smiley gentleman can’t wait to meet the new family he’ll love forever.

Learn more hereWallflower – Gentle, Thoughtful, and Slowly Blossoming Wallflower is a 2-year-old German Shepherd Dog mix weighing about 54 pounds. A little timid at first, she has a sweet, good-natured personality and is gradually gaining confidence as she gets comfortable with people and her surroundings. Wonderful leash manners: Wallflower walks well on leash with virtually no tension, happily staying beside you and checking in every few steps. Polite though occasionally awkward: She takes treats gently but sometimes a bit awkwardly, positioning her mouth over your hand. Quietly affectionate: While she may start out reserved, she enjoys gentle pets and will extend her neck and lean in when she would like a little more attention. Calm around other dogs: Wallflower may show interest in nearby dogs but remains calm and non-reactive. Wallflower may do well with appropriately matched dog companions or as a solo dog with canine friends.March 30, 2026, 3:08 am
