Through a strong partnership with the City of Oakland, FOAS is determined to maintain and increase the highest save rate at Oakland Animal Services, despite catastrophic cuts to the City budget for Oakland Animal Services (OAS), the animal shelter for the City of Oakland. The following are a few things about the situation that I would love for everyone who cares about Oakland’s animals to understand, including why I am incredibly hopeful about the opportunity before us to create lasting change. We have an incredible opportunity to seize this moment to make meaningful and lasting change to help Oakland’s animals and the people who care for them. Join us.
