A young German Shepherd dog is being kept as a guard dog at
Metro Auto Repair, 3412 San Leandro St. Oakland.
The dog's only "window to the world" is a chain link fence on 34th Avenue. His fur is filthy with traces of oil and grease. He is very anxious, pants heavily and seems to be thirsty most of the time.
This is cruel!! Remove this dog from this owner and give him a chance to live a normal, healthy life through adoption.

The conditions of this dog match all of the following:
• Not providing adequate food and/or regular access to fresh water
• Not providing shelter from the elements (including heat, cold and rain)
• Keeping a dog chained or tethered for over three hours (he's chained during business hours)
• Keeping an animal confined without room to exercise (never goes out)
He is neglected and abused.

A chained dog's life is a lonely, frustrating, miserable existence, without opportunities for even the most basic dog behaviors of running and sniffing.

You need to call Animal Control or the police. SeeClickFix report will, most likely, not be forwarded to the proper authorities.

I totally sympathize, Oakland Animal control needs to work harder at fixing the on-going issue of chained animals in Oakland. I see this in my neighborhood as well.

The fact is that this animal is suffering in plain site of hundreds of people every day. He is less than a year old and is tethered for 8-9 hrs a day. The CA law says that a dog can't be tethered for more than 4 hours. He is alone. Visibly anxious, and physically neglected. I will continue doing what I can to get this dog a better life, so that others may follow.

I am so glad you are pursuing this and care about this dog. We do, too. Seeclickfix is a great platform for reporting things like illegal dumping because the Oakland Public Works Agency monitors the site, but Oakland Animal Services does not.
I have spoken to Oakland Animal Services staffin the past and they do care and are very kind. They are just terribly short-staffed and there are many dogs in similar situations. They also have tp pick up strays and dead animals, tend to shelter animals, and work on adoptions. Keep calling OAS and the non-emergency police line to report this. Get an incident number from OPD, so you can follow up. Oakland Animal Services is still a division of the police dept, but that is going to change. The Oakland City Council voted to make it a separate dept and allocated more money to increase services back in July. The new budget with this funding was adopted in August.
The city council member for District 5 where the dog is located is Noel Gallo: ngallo@oaklandnet.com.
Karely Ordaz is his constituent liaison.Her contact info is:
kordaz@oaklandnet.com or 510-238-6126
Both of them grew up in Distric 5 and care about it. I'd email them both and ask when the OAS reorganization will happen and when staffing will improve. Tell them about this dog.

But the owner, who agreed to surrender the dog a couple of months ago, backtracked. He insists he NEEDS the dog to protect his shop since it is a high-crime area and the police doesn't respond on time or at all.
In the meantime, the owner has covered the fence, blocking the only contact the dog had to the outside world. He has also reduced its living space by dividing the "parking lot" for his customers cars. So now he is completely isolated, still tethered 8-10 hrs a day, and living in close proximity to his own feces and urine.
Why this isn't illegal is a mystery and an outrage.

While we care about animals in circuses and in for profit animal exhibits, we fail to end the physical and emotional mistreatment of "man's best friend."

Can only imagine what this poor creature ingests by licking himself...
Please complaint to the authorities and the owner of this business!
