East Bay SPCA- Oakland Adoption Center
A Compassionate Connection
At the East Bay SPCA, we are dedicated to creating a more compassionate world for people and companion animals. We believe that everyone, regardless of their background or access to resources, deserves to experience the profound joy and support of the human-animal bond.
More Than a Shelter
As one of the oldest and most innovative shelters in the country, we have evolved to meet the changing needs of our community. We are an independent, local non-profit—not affiliated with any national organization—working tirelessly to support the pets and people who need us most.
Our Approach to Care
We pride ourselves on providing high-quality, science-based care in a safe and supportive environment. From our dedicated shelter teams and foster networks to our veterinary clinics and behavior support programs, we provide every animal with the socialization, training, and medical attention they need to thrive while they wait for their forever homes.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and our team is here to help you every step of the way. We focus on thoughtful, personal connections, encouraging you to spend quality time meeting our adoptable dogs and cats to ensure a successful, long-term bond for both you and your new companion.
