🌟 Meet Valentine: A Diamond in the Rough, Ready to Shine 🌟

After fostering Valentine for the past two months, I can say it’s been nothing short of an honor to get to know this incredible girl. Her journey has been far from easy, but there’s something so special about her that I know will resonate with the right person.

Once she feels safe and secure, Valentine is all love. She’s goofy, hilarious, affectionate, and the most loyal companion you could ask for.

Valentine does best when she has her toys to chew on. It helps her relieve some stress, and once redirected, she sticks to her toys—she’s a quick learner! As a Malinois, she’s got the energy of an athlete, so her morning walks (about 45-60 minutes) are a must. After that, she’s totally content to rest and cuddle up with you at home.

Her past has left her a bit skittish around sudden noises and chaotic environments. She is potty trained, but you will need to show her her new routine in your space before she understands when and how to hold it until she’s outside. We have been in professional training together and she’s doing well with positive reinforcement, making great progress, learning commands like “heel,” “stay,” and “off”. With more time and love, she’ll continue to grow into a confident, well-rounded dog. The right owner for her will continue training with love and commitment so she’ll keep blossoming into a dog that will fill your life with joy.

Valentine's adoption comes with a free month of training from GoodPup.com to ease her into her new home and help her bond with her new family.

Valentine is currently in a foster home. Please contact [email protected] to meet her!

Pixie Girl is an absolute sweetheart with a touch of quirky charm! This affectionate Pitbull Terrier has a heart full of love and a personality that’s both endearing and delightfully unique.

The moment she steps into the yard, she gallops over with excitement, eager for cuddles and playtime. She loves to lean against you for back scratches, rest her head on your knee with an adoring gaze, and flash her signature open-mouth, panting smile when soaking up attention—it’s truly precious.

Pixie Girl is a fantastic walking buddy, staying calm and steady on the leash, even when passing other dogs at the shelter. She does get so excited at times that she might jump up to say hello, but with a little training, she’ll have perfect manners in no time.

Whether you’re looking for a snuggly couch companion or a loyal partner for outdoor strolls, Pixie Girl is ready to fill your life with love and joy. Just like her name suggests, she’s one of a kind. Could Pixie Girl be your perfect match?

Come visit the Burbank Animal Shelter to foster or adopt Pixie Girl!

ADD SOME SUGAR AND SPICE TO YOUR LIFE WITH SALT & PEPPA

Salt and Peppa recently went out on a hike with our volunteers! This bonded pair is loving and lovable, well-behaved on the leash and a lot of fun to hang out with. They were curious about other hikers, with and without dogs, but responded well to a pull on the leash and their names being called. Salt did enjoy chasing some birds and lizards into the bushes, and both dogs were just a little stunned (as were we) when a deer greeted us at the first turn in the fire road. They rode well in the car got along lovingly. We had a lovely hike with them and will probably want to take them out again.

Salt and Peppa's adoption comes with a free month of training from GoodPup.com to ease them into their new home and help them bond with their new family.

Looking for a sweet pair of dogs to be your new best friends and adventure buddies? Come to the shelter and meet Salt and Peppa!

Say hello to a favorite of all of ours, Lucky! This guy has been at the shelter, quietly, for a long while. When he first came in, he wouldn’t let anyone touch him or get too near. The dedication, patience and empathy from staff and volunteers has, over a long time, gotten Lucky to come around and be our friend. He is still a bit slow to warm up to new people, but he’s much more game than he used to be. He is our absolute play group rock star though- he is fabulous with other dogs of all personality types. He’s a like a Director of HR for dogs- knowing who needs encouragement and who needs to reign in their energy- and telling them. Lucky is not great on a leash- we’re not sure if he was ever on leash before coming to us, so it’s still very emotionally challenging for him. As a result of that he’ll need to go to a home with a yard that is secure and where he can hang out even if he’s not getting many walks. He loves routine and consistency, getting time to play and lounge in the sun, playing with other dogs and being with humans who understand his needs to take things slow and won’t push that. Lucky's room is in the back of the shelter so if you’re interested in meeting him you’ll need to talk to staff about him specifically being taken out. He really is near and dear to all of our hearts and we’re very excited for a dog/human combo forever family to come find him and take him home.

Come visit the Burbank Animal Shelter to foster or adopt Lucky!

My name is Oreo. I'm a *super* sweet boy and I love, love, love people and attention. I'm only 9 months old, so I've still got kitten energy, but I'm a big boy already, and I'm still not full grown! I love it when people come to visit me. I'll flop over for pets, show you my belly, and demonstrate what a wonderful biscuit maker I am! If you're looking for a big, affectionate and loving cat, I'm the one for you. I'd love nothing more than to be your new best friend. Come and meet me and take me home, you'll be so happy you did.

Don't walk, run to the shelter to meet and adopt Oreo!

Meet Ziva and Ripley – a pair of sweethearts looking for a quiet, loving home.

These two lovely cats have faced a lot of change recently, and after losing their beloved owner, they’re ready to start fresh in a calm and caring environment.

Ziva is a gentle, White and Black Short Haired female with a heart of gold. She’s sweet, friendly, and very food motivated. If you’ve got food, you’ve got her heart, she’ll be your friend for life! Ziva’s ideal home is one that’s peaceful and stable, where she can bask in the attention of her new family.

Ripley is a Grey and White Short Haired male with a bit of a mysterious side. He’s a bit reserved at first, but with a little patience, he’ll start to trust you. Once he knows he’s safe, Ripley loves to play with wand toys and indulge in some catnip. When he’s comfortable, he enjoys being petted, and he’ll reward you with his affection.

Ziva and Ripley have lived together for a long time, but since being at the shelter they have shown that they will probably be fine on their own. They can be adopted separately. but ideally we'd like for them to be adopted together.

If you have a quiet home and the patience to let them settle in at their own pace, Ziva and Ripley could be the perfect companions for you!

Come visit the Burbank Animal shelter to adopt Ripley and Ziva!

Hi! I’m Hershey and I would love to be adopted with my best friend, Magnolia. She’s a bit shyer than me and I help her feel better. Even though we aren’t sisters we look a lot alike! Our personalities are very different though. I’m a play machine that can chase a wand toy all day! I have lots of energy and love to run around with Magnolia but I also like my lounge time and know that night time is quiet time. I’m a big sweetheart who doesn’t want to get into any trouble… except if there’s a bowl of food involved! Even though I’m more outgoing than my friend Magnolia I’m not a very big lap cat but I do love pets and head scratches. Between the two of us we’re the purrrfect cat!

Say hello to this beautiful bonded duo: Sneakers (husky) and Boots (German Shepherd Mix). A volunteer spent time with her and had this to share:

"These 2 stunners are super sweet, in need of a spa day to get those winter sheds handled, and pretty chill when we hung out. Boots is the braver of the 2- coming up to me immediately and bring super curious and trying to hog all the pets being offered. Sneaker is way more shy, slower to warm up and content to hang back a little and just get her measure of me. Once we were hanging out for a bit they both determined I was pretty nice and knew all the good places to scritch and even had a pocket full of treats. We were limited in space, so I didn’t get to see them play or cut loose, how they behave on leash or around other dogs- maybe next time we will. I can say they were very gentle with me, even when pushing each other around. Not particularly reactive to the noise and movement going on around us. I was expecting to get pummeled by young playful dogs but they were very kind and polite. I was honored when Sneaker decided I could give pets and even a kiss on the head- since she’s so shy. We went slow and I had her smiling by the end. They’re really a lovely fluffy duo of ladies that would make for a great family completing pair."

Come to the Burbank Animal Shelter to foster or adopt Boots (A127648) and Sneakers (A127649)!
