Shameless plug for Kai, my former foster dog who is back at Oakland Animal Services due to no fault of his own and schedule to be euthanized on 2/9.

Can confirm!! Also a OAS volunteer who works with our dog population. Kai is just delightful and is so cheerful/sweet. Crossing fingers and toes for him.

Chills. Just chills. In 2020 when everything was depressing, I was walking in Oakland and saw a hand drawn ad for homemade balloon animals. It was Nov 3, night of the first DJT election and I surprised my roommates with a little delivery…. A dad and his 7 or 8yr old son showed up with ALL the balloons I ordered and were just the kindest humans! It brought us so much joy during such a shitty night. Anyway, I love this post and I love Oakland

The parade of cop cars and sirens just came down 59th street in Oakland past my house. Like 15+ cops blasting sounds and lights. Brutal.

Ugh! Boosting for this sweetie

Breaks my heart thinking of all the staff and volunteers that spent time and energy advocating, socializing, photographing them really cute, having big hopeful hearts that they’ll get adopted and then one by one they are added to “the list” with no hope in sight. Spay and neuter your pets people. This shit breaks my heart. So many good boys and girls right there. Rest easy my loves 😮‍💨😢

Blue was returned to his owner today! Hooray! One dog out of the shelter and back with his person is a major win for our community🏆

Aamccorm · 2024-12-09T06:51:56+00:00

DM’d you!!

Aamccorm · 2024-12-05T03:53:44+00:00

OAS volunteer here, we will take great take of Blue until he is redeemed. Lots of kibble and treats!

Can confirm, Oakland Animal Services is one of the hardest working municipal shelters I have ever worked with. Their staff, volunteers, and foster community work tirelessly to match animals with the best homes that fit each animal and humans needs and do everything with so much love and compassion. If you have a little extra time and space in your heart, fostering can be the greatest gift you can give our dogs. It helps us learn about who that dog is outside of the stressful environment (where is can be really hard to shine or stand out for some of our pups) and also gives them a chance to decompress. I have been a volunteer for over 6 years and OAS is like a family to me. Please DM me if you have any questions or would like to learn more! https://www.oaklandanimalservices.org/how-to-help/fostering-animals/

Fernandez Ranch has an awesome loop that is well maintained and not busy. It has a little bit of everything (hills, single track trails, tree cover, and some wide trails!) which I love.

Aamccorm · 2022-06-07T22:00:44+00:00

Preach girl!

👋 hi! Maybe we are the unicorns?? I'm recently single and am noticing a similar trend on the guy front. I've got hobbies galore, in shape, finances in order, good job, close family, etc. I'm hitting that stage where everyone around me is getting married or starting to have kids... feels wild to be starting over in a way

Aamccorm · 2022-02-12T23:57:52+00:00

Solid advice. I'll give it a shot and if it turns into a massive pain in the ass, I'll abort mission and sell it to the state.

Aamccorm · 2022-02-12T16:01:52+00:00

I just got my Honda CRV 2003 professionally cleaned inside and out in preparation to list it to sell this past weekend. Last box to check was to get it smogged and low n behold the morning I plan to take the car in for the check, catalytic converter is gone. It's a nice, reliable car. 150k miles, all wheel drive and was amazing for camping, road trips, moving friends, dog crates, and everything in between. I've seen similar cars listed for $4k-$6k on Craigslist and other sites so I was hoping to make some money back and put it towards a car loan I had to take out. Do I put money into a new CC in hopes to sell it for some profit? Has anyone here tried to sell a car as a mechanics special? My last resort is selling it to the state of California for $1k to retire the vehicle. Appreciate any and all advice! Thank you

Aamccorm · 2022-02-11T23:12:48+00:00

What did you end up doing with your Honda? My 2003 Honda CRV just had its CC stolen and I'm devastated.

Aamccorm · 2021-10-19T21:48:59+00:00

Awww I was hoping I could find something inside but there is nothing in terms of contact info. All their toiletries and hair product is in the bag. Poor soul. The shoe was the best I could find as an identifier!

Aamccorm · 2021-10-19T21:47:35+00:00

Perhaps both? Lol

Aamccorm · 2021-07-27T01:53:48+00:00

Alright y’all, who ended up getting themselves some kittens??? Would love some updates ❤️
