    • Mission

    Oakland Animal Services is Oakland’s only open admissions shelter. Our staff provides critical services to our community, sheltering thousands of Oakland’s stray animals each year and responding to animal-related calls for service in Oakland. We are a city agency that proudly provides public safety and animal welfare services as well as human health and social services. We are here to serve our community’s residents, and promote responsible pet ownership and humane care.

    About Us

    As Oakland’s only open admissions shelter, Oakland Animal Services accepts all of Oakland’s homeless, injured, orphaned, unwanted, lost, abandoned and mistreated animals, regardless of age, breed, temperament or medical condition.

    With the assistance of a dedicated group of volunteers and the support of nonprofit Friends of Oakland Animal Services, OAS saves the lives of more than 5,000 companion animals each year.

    OAS is excited to be a part of the Human Animal Support Services (HASS) coalition whose primary goal is to keep people and pets together.
