FRIENDS OF OAKLAND ANIMAL SERVICES

Description

Oakland Animal Services (OAS) provides care for every animal brought to its door, regardless of age, breed, temperament, or medical condition. OAS is Oakland’s only "open admissions" shelter, and takes in thousands of homeless, lost, neglected, and abused animals every year. Some have traumatic histories; some have suffered terrible injuries. The shelter provides care to them all, knowing that every being-not just the cutest ones with the best chance at adoption-deserves respect, compassion, and dignity.

OAS does not receive sufficient funding in the City budget to provide for all of the needs of our shelter animals. Donations to Friends of Oakland Animal Services fund critical services for thousands of animals every year in the face of Oakland’s ongoing budgetary challenges.
