Looking to adopt a pet? Here are 5 delightful doggies to adopt now in OaklandPhotos: Petfinder

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.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)


Copper, beagle

Copper is a handsome male beagle dog currently housed at California Pit Bull Rescue.

Copper loves to socialize — he loves other dogs. He's mastered his house-training etiquette. He already has had all of his shots, and he is neutered.

Notes from Copper's caretakers:

He was left in the backyard 24/7 and he sure did not deserve that kind of life! We are going to find him a fantastic home to live his Golden years in and to finally get to be a part of a real family. He cannot wait! He loves to go for walks and he gets along with other doggies. He has great energy and loves to be funny and he even does mini zoomies when he is happy.

Shirley is a lovable female Wheaten terrier mix in the care of Bella Vita Rescue.

Shirley is friendly as can be — she loves other dogs. She's already house-trained. She's already vaccinated and spayed.

Shirley's current caretakers say:

She is a wheaten terrier mix girl that is 1-2 years old. She was rescued from a high-kill shelter with her five puppies she now deserves her second chance at a forever home. She gets along with other dogs and people. She likes toys but she is definitely more on the calm side.
