Adoptions

View some of our adoptable animals online (see our Petfinder page here!) or come to the shelter to visit all of our animals available for adoption right now. Our staff will assist you in finding the right pet. Now that you are ready to adopt, our staff would like to help you find the perfect pet for you. This is a very important commitment and is not something to rush, since your new pet will be with you for years to come.

Please bring a drivers license or state I.D., as they are required to complete the adoption process.

Download Application

You can get a head start on the adoption process by downloading and printing an adoption application (link above) and bringing it to the Oakland Pet Adoption Center when you visit. Printed applications are also available at our office. For more information about any of our online applications, please contact our center.
