Abio Cares

Abio Cares is an East Bay volunteer project.
It’s about you. It’s about home. It’s about community. It’s about time. Join us!

Abio Cares is is a grassroots program committed to giving back to our East Bay community. Our volunteers donate their time to coastal cleanups, winter coat drives, animal rescues (see Take Me Home Tuesdays below!), packing food at the Alameda County Community food bank, and so much more.

Take Me Home Tuesdays

Abio helps find homes for more than just people! Each Tuesday, we partner with a local shelter to feature an adoptable animal who needs a fur-ever home and a chance at life. Follow #TakeMeHomeTuesday here, on Instagram, and on Facebook. Your new best friend could be a click away!

Meet: Tupac, he is everything great about Labs! Super friendly and he loves all people. He is also great with other dogs, big and small, he loves to play with them. Tupac loves toys, and is your standard big young Lab. Want to meet Tupac? #takemehometuesday

Adopt Me!

Look at that smile! Meet two-year-old Ember, he is a sweet charmer who loves people! He is an active boy who loves to play fetch with stuffed toys and explore around the yard. His foster parents tell us, “he is such a goofy, curious boy, who loves playing with his wobble ball and hearing it make goofy sounds.” Bonus: His adoption fee has been prepaid by a generous donor.

Adopt Me!

Meet Big Dog: This big lug is an aptly named 3-year-old Rottweiler mix who has a giant heart, warm eyes, and needs a fur-ever home. Don’t let his 100-lb frame fool you. Our friends at Rocket Dog Rescue, who are fostering Big Dog, say he’s as gentle as he is energetic. Big Dog walks well on leash, is not a jumper, and is great with other dogs big and small. (He has not been cat-tested.) The best home for this guy is with someone who enjoys fast-paced daily walks, occasional hikes, and snuggles in the evening. Are you a match?

Meet Frosty: Frosty will melt your heart!  He is a 4-year-old American Bulldog who is super snuggly, playful, and social with people and other pups. Our friends at Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation, who are caring for Frosty, say he’s a curious adventurer on walks and enjoys exploring. If you’re looking for a loving social butterfly, Frosty is the one! Bonus: His adoption fee has been prepaid by a generous donor

Meet Bo: Got room for a new best friend? This handsome, super charming, and active 2-year-old is currenlty being cared for by our friends at Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation. They say Bo, a German Shepherd, has made excellent progress learning basic commands that he’d love to continue mastering. He can’t wait to show off his smarts, especially to earn delicious treats! He’s been practicing loose-leash walking and plays great with canine buddies. This 69-lb sweetheart also has a goofy and cuddly side.

Will you be the one to fall in with Bo’s many facets?

Bonus: Bo’s adoption fee has been prepaid by a generous donor.

Adopt Me!

All animals are spayed, neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to go home with you. If you have a full house, consider a temp gig as a foster pet parent.

Follow us on Facebook to be the first to see each week’s adoptable pet.
