East Bay SPCA- Dublin Adoption Center
Transforming Lives Together
Our mission is to transform the lives of cats and dogs by enriching the human-animal bond through respected and accessible expertise. We believe all people should be able to experience the joy of companionship, regardless of their background or access to resources.
A Legacy of Compassion
Founded in 1874, the East Bay SPCA is proud to be one of the oldest shelters in the country and one of the most innovative in our region. As a local, independent nonprofit, we are dedicated to supporting the changing needs of animals and the people who love them in our community.
How We Care for Every Pet
We are more than a shelter, providing expert medical care, behavior training, and loving attention to every animal that enters our doors. Whether through our adoption centers, foster network, or the Theodore B. Travers Family Veterinary Clinic, we ensure our animals are healthy, socialized, and ready to find their perfect match.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to help you every step of the way. We take pride in our thoughtful approach to matching families with their new best friends, ensuring that both the person and the pet are set up for a lifetime of happiness.
Start Your Journey Today
We invite you to experience the difference for yourself. Visit our adoption centers in Oakland or Dublin to meet your future companion, or join our community of supporters by volunteering or donating. Together, we can continue to create stories of hope and transformation for every animal in need.

9/30 - Introducing Puppy Playschool: playtime with a purpose! 🐶🐾 Our Behavior & Training team is excited to launch a brand-new drop-in social for puppies up to 18 weeks old. Puppy Playschool is our hourlong, drop-in social designed to help puppies learn healthy play AND how to stay calm around other dogs. Each session starts with skill-building, followed by structured, supervised play with thoughtfully paired playmates. While some puppies play, others practice calmly watching and waiting their turn, an important skill for navigating the world as they grow. Puppy Playschool is available at both Oakland and Dublin Adoption Centers. 🌟 Visit the link in our bio to learn more and sign up for a session!

9/23 - Come on a field trip with Oreo! 🥾🐾 Oreo recently traded the shelter for the trails and spent the day exploring with one of our volunteers and a canine hiking buddy. This goofy and energetic 2-year-old Pittie mix had plenty of new sights and smells to take in, stopping to sniff along the way and occasionally checking in on everyone like a good hiking buddy should. After an hour on the trail, he was one happy, tired pup and snoozed the whole ride back. 💤 For active shelter dogs like Oreo, getting out for a field trip is more than just a fun day away. A change of scenery gives them a break from the shelter routine and a chance to explore, decompress and enjoy some one-on-one time with a volunteer. There’s another bonus to hitting the town in the signature “Adopt Me” gear: More people get the chance to meet them and see just how great they are! ❤️ 🌟 Want to take a shelter dog like Oreo on a field trip?
