About CARMELA

Courtesy Posting: OAKLAND, CA (N CAL) - ID #73792 -ENDEARING CHOW/CATTLE DOG X 'CARMELA' ONLY 1 YR, 34 LBS, AT RISK IN FULL SHELTER. AVAILABLE TO ADOPT ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, OR MAY NEED RESCUE (and thus foster too) URGENT AT OAKLAND ANIMAL SERVICES- NEEDS GOOD HOME OR FOSTER AND RESCUE -dog friendly, but no cats The Oakland shelter is asking for urgent help to place Carmela who was surrendered along with several other dogs in this home for being 'aggressive towards the resident cat.' The owner did not give details with regards to the cat situation so it is unclear if one or more attacked the cat, but it sadly did not survive. We are therefore requesting no cats in the home as a precaution. Carmela has lived with several other dogs, including her mother, Marcy who needs rescue, while Carmela may be adoptable. The shelter told us, 'Carmela is much more social than her mother even though she takes time to trust, but once she does, she's very endearing. We have decided to make her available by appointment which means that potential adopters need to send in an adoption questionnaire and our adoption team will screen and talk with the PA and if appropriate, set up a time to meet. I believe that these dogs have been mostly outdoor dogs but they do try to 'hold it' in kennel - again something that I've seen in other chows. ' Unfortunately, her sister, Solange, was already euthanized after a bite to a volunteer. The shelter said it was from user error when the volunteer grabbed the dog as she tried to run out a door, so sad, this dog was only 1. They also let us know there was 4th mixed dog who was euthanized as well, and said to be the mean dog in the home by the former owner. We therefore want to find placement for Carmela, as well as her mother, Marcy, asap, before these dogs are also euthanized. The sister was only 1 year old, awful! Marcy is Rescue only (with a 12/23 deadline to commit; ID #73791) , while Carmela may be considered for adoption. Please note they do not need to go to the same home or foster. To adopt Carmela (ID #73792) , please contact Vivian, the adoption coordinator at (510) 213-8402. The Shelter main line is (510) 535-5602. Please note the proper ID.
