Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some lovable pups up for adoption? There are dozens of endearing dogs at animal shelters in and around Oakland. Some shelters in the Bay Area and beyond have temporarily closed or reduced their hours amid the coronavirus pandemic, so if you are interested in an available pet, contact the animal rescue for its current adoption process.
If you would like to try out pet ownership, ABC affiliate KGO reports that some local animal organizations are seeking temporary homes for shelter pets. With resources stretched thin, donations are also welcome.
Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

Oaklie, wirehaired terrier and Wheaten terrier mix

Here's what Oaklie's friends at Bella Vita Rescue think of him:
Oaklie is a wirehaired terrier mix dog. He gets along with other dogs, people and children. Though he is a little shy at first, once he warms up to you, he will never leave your side! He would be perfect in an apartment that is calm and quiet, just like him!
