FOUND This incredibly sweet girl has been with me since last weekend. Posted on NextDoor and PawBoost as well as Oakland Animal Shelter. No chip and no response... to any of the postings. Hoping she looks familiar to someone here. Message me if you know her people. My neighbor found her at the corner of 10th Avenue & 24th Street. She had a collar, but no tag. See more

Still missing. Sightings near the lake.

Rescuers saved the pregnant pup, but she soon gave birth prematurely and lost her entire litter. The momma dog became frantic and depressed, so Sunshine Dog Res...cue paired her with three orphaned kittens -- and she immediately bonded with them as if they were her own babies STORY: https://bit.ly/3bhYV0O See more

With the Independence Day Holiday this weekend, there will be lots of fireworks continuing. We know it's stressful for both humans and pets - here are some tips... to keep your pets as safe as possible. There are also some great recommendations from the Veterinary Information Network in the attached graphic - Isolate pets indoors at home; they will be happier and not tempted to try to get away during loud sounds. - If your dog is crate trained, put her in a crate covered with a blanket to make her feel more secure. - Create a peaceful environment in your home, play soothing music and lower the blinds to block outside sights and sounds. If your pet seems anxious, spend time with her soothing him with a calm voice. - Even if your pet is indoors with you, double-check yard gates and doors to make sure that pets cannot escape. - Make certain pets are wearing identification, including the name and current telephone number of the owner. Confirm that your pet’s microchip registration information is registered or updated. -Aislar las mascotas adentro en casa. Serán más feliz y no tendrán la tentación de escaparse mientras que hay sonidos fuertes. -Si tu perro está entrenado a estar en caja, ponlo en una caja cubierta para ayudarlo a sentirse más seguro. -Crear un ambiente pacífico en tu casa. Tocar música calmante y bajar las persianas para bloquear las vistas y los sonidos de afuera. Si aparece que tu mascota tiene la ansiedad, pasar tiempo con ella y calmarla con una voz tranquila. -Aun si tu mascota está adentro contigo, asegúrate que las puertas de patio sean bien cerradas para evitar que las mascotas se escapen. -Asegúrate que las mascotas llevan identificación, incluyendo tu nombre y número de teléfono. Confirmar que la información de microchip de tu mascota está registrado y/o actualizado.

Update May 30: Oakland’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Youth Development, Department of Public Works, and Oakland Animal Services have collaborated on the... decision to temporarily close the Morcom Rose Garden. The City is aware of and is taking seriously several incidents of attacks by a male turkey in the park and considers this a public safety concern. Wildlife is regulated by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). CDFW has denied the City’s request to relocate the turkey, indicating that is not a solution, nor allowed by State law. The City has reported to CDFW the incidents of attacks on humans. Currently, the City has been instructed by CDFW to keep the park closed, to prevent feeding of wildlife, and to attempt to train the turkey to keep distance from humans. We have been advised this will only work if all feeding of the turkeys and other wildlife stops completely. It is hoped that visitors can return to the Rose Garden soon. The City will continue to abide by California State law and will follow CDFW instructions regarding when the park may reopen.

We understand there is a family of turkeys in the park and the male has become aggressive toward humans. We also understand that some humans have been feeding the birds regularly in the park. Out of concern for the public safety and the turkeys’ well-being, Oakland Animal Services, working closely with the Parks Department, has contacted the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for guidance and support. Following the State’s Keep Me Wild campaign (https://wildlife.ca.gov/Keep-Me-Wild/Wild-Turkey), the City is asking people to please stay out of the park, to respect the prohibition against walking dogs in the park, and to never feed wildlife of any type. In the meanwhile, Oakland Animal Services will work with the Department of Fish and Wildlife on opportunities to help retrain the turkeys and will work to educate our residents. As has been seen across the globe, the retreat of humans as they shelter in place has led to an increase in the visibility of wildlife in urban areas. The City of Oakland respects the rights of wild animals to inhabit their natural homes and encourages all Oaklanders to support the right of our wild residents to remain wild.
