Oakland Animal Services

We provide 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. 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.
