Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some delightful doggies up for adoption? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Oakland.
Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

Bug, American Bully

Notes from Bug's caretakers:
Meet the shorty snorty fella Bug! He's approximately five years old, 62 pounds and a perfect love bug. His original owners surrendered him to a local veterinary clinic because they couldn't pay for emergency kidney stone surgery. He is recovering well, although he will need to be on a special diet to prevent any future issues.
