Story
Meet Bisquit — a sweet little senior with the very best old man energy. Bisquit believes life is meant to be enjoyed at a gentle pace, and he’s perfected the art of taking things nice and slow. He’s happiest on leisurely strolls around town, stopping to sniff the breeze and soak in the world one step at a time. When he’s done with his daily wanderings, Bisquit is all about quiet relaxation and maximum comfort. Cozy beds, soft blankets, and peaceful moments are his love language. If you’re looking for a low-key best friend who’s mastered the fine art of slowing down and enjoying the simple things, Bisquit is ready to settle into your heart (and your comfiest spot on the couch).

Tennessee is a little gentleman who is sweet as tea and more warm and welcoming than a hot slice of cobbler. He’s confident without being pushy, playful without being rowdy, and the kind of easygoing guy that wins hearts wherever he goes. Tennessee loves making new friends, soaking up attention, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures—a sunny stroll, a tasty treat, or a good belly rub. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with manners as fine as his heart is big, Tennessee is ready to show you what true Southern charm looks like—one wag at a time.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog E:3  Melville is a young 11-pound chi cutie with warm brown eyes and ears for days. He came in to the shelter as a stray and is searching for meaning and belonging in a forever home of his own. Melville is reserved with new people, and appreciates a gentle and slow approach. Once he is comfortable, he enjoys gentle pets and affection from people who respect his boundaries. This young medium-energy boy walks well on leash and enjoys playing with other respectful small dogs - a confident small dog sibling in his new home may help ease his transition into his new family. Melville needs an experienced small dog adopter who understands how to work with fearful dogs and an adult only home. Are you ready for the reward of lifelong affection that comes with helping a shy but sweet pup gain confidence? Come in to meet Melville!March 13, 2026, 5:48 pm

Story
We are looking for a very special home for our sweet puppy, Miso. He is a 9-week-old Merle Pomeranian who is incredibly loving, playful, and full of personality. This has been a devastatingly difficult decision for us, but Miso who most likely has epilepsy and will likely need lifelong seizure medication and attentive care throughout the day. Because of our work schedules, we aren’t able to provide the consistent time and monitoring he needs to truly thrive. Our top priority is finding him a home with someone experienced in caring for special needs dogs, someone who can give him the stability, attention, and medical support he deserves. Miso is truly an amazing little companion with so much love to give. We are committed to finding him a safe, knowledgeable, and loving forever home where he can live a happy and healthy life. Please reach out if you or someone you know may be a good fit.
