Human and Pet Initiative

Partnering with People and Their Pets

"Oakland Animal Services expends considerable time and other resources to rehome animals. I am thrilled to see that HAPI was founded to fill a critical gap in human/animal services, to support families in keeping their pets and to help lost pets get reunited with the people who love them. By addressing this urgent need in Oakland, HAPI will reduce shelter intake and contribute to better outcomes for animals in this community."

Ann Dunn, Former Director of Oakland Animal Services, Director of Friends of Oakland Animal Services, Oakland, CA
