10 minutesOakland Animal Services wants you to take a hike, literally, but with one of their dogs. Or, if you prefer to stay onsite at the headquarters and with another type of pet, you can help groom, socialize and prepare animals for fostering and adoptions. Cats, rabbits and smaller “pocket pets” join the legion of pups at OAS, so you can hang with a diverse crew of furry friends longing for your warm company.
