Our mission is to provide homes, health, and happiness to Oakland’s animals in need. Since our founding in 2005, our primary focus has been to fund programs and activities at Oakland Animal Services (OAS) that improve services to the people and animals of Oakland beyond the typical expectations of a municipal, open admission shelter.

Since 2005, Friends of Oakland Animal Services (FOAS) has been on the front lines working to care for animals in our community. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that works to support Oakland Animal Services. Please make a tax-deductible charitable gift today to help us provide homes, health, and happiness to Oakland’s homeless animals.
FOAS is proud to partner with Oakland’s only open-door agency, where we have the opportunity to improve the lives of the greatest number of animals. Join us by making a donation today, or contact us to let us know other ways you’d like to help.
Learn more about the OAS/FOAS partnership below. Special thanks to Marsha Gelt and Barry Schienberg of Habitat Media who created and produced these videos in May 2024.
