Irresponsible people make irresponsible pet owners.

She is trying really hard…. 😢 thank you

This is so heartbreaking to see the dogs/cats are forced to be separated with their owners. Hope more people will volunteer to foster as well.

Thank you KPIX for bringing awareness to the Oakland shelter

I’m glad Elizabeth knows this

My friends never be treated as humans do. The States need to invest animal care manpower and the workers' income need to be increased. In the future, the service work will be rare.

You know, that story was real, and sad. And then you just HAD to put a happy face on it.... they still gonna kill most of those dogs.... and a lot of people are becoming homeless. You think the crime is bad now, just wait

[@joevarga5982]

The eviction moratorium has been going on ALL THIS TIME? Are you fukn' KIDDING me?

[@janetyingy]

What’s wrong with you….

[@joevarga5982]

@@janetyingy What's your problem? Stop being a troll and spell it out, coward. BRING IT.

[@sodapopjones260]

I prefer to keep puppies as pets, once they’re dogs they go straight to the shelter

[@ranwithit1907]

This is so terrible😢

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

This is what happens when Capitalism is king.
No one deserves to go homeless, and no one should have to leave their beloved pet for the profit of the already wealthy. This is truly heartbreaking, especially because only greed causes these things. Everyone has a right to live somewhere.

agreed 1000%. Couldn't have word it better

[@tenossos]

Hi-tech hi-pay job growth is what's most important to city leaders. Those who don't make the big bucks get pushed out along with their animals.

By greed do you mean math?
A low cost build In Ca cost 500k. At 800/month rent over 40 years before you see a return. If I give you a check post dated for 40 years will you cash it for me? Bet you 1k right here and now you won’t.

Socialism doesn't work, Democrat. Pull your head out.

[@joevarga5982]

"Everyone has a right to live somewhere." Only if they pull their own weight. Nobody owes you spit.

feed them to the homeless. 2 birds with 1 stone.
