Frequently Asked Questions
1.) Can I turn my animal into the shelter?
If you are a Burbank resident and you have proof of residency, you may turn your animal into the shelter. We strongly recommend that you try to place the animal yourself by asking family members or friends. Putting an ad in your local paper can also help. If you have a purebred dog, consider calling a rescue for that specific breed. Although we do have a high adoption rate, we can not guarantee that your animal will be adopted. It is always best to try to find a home on your own; the shelter should be your last resort.
2.) How long are animals kept at your shelter?
Stray animals are held for seven days for their owner to claim them. On the seventh day, the animal is put up for adoption and available to the public.
3.) Are you a “no kill” shelter?
The Burbank Animal Shelter, as a public operated shelter, can not refuse to take in any animal; however we only accept animals that originate from within the City of Burbank. Our goal is to have every adoptable animal that we accept be adopted back out. Although our adoption rate is nearly 100% certain animals are not adoptable due to their aggressive behavior, severe or incurable diseases, mortal injuries or other major afflictions. And occasionally we experience critical housing numbers due to an unexpected influx of abandoned animals. In these unfortunate cases we may be forced to euthanize animals.
4.) When will you get kittens and puppies?
Kittens are born in the spring time up until the beginning of Fall. Although we may get them year round, they mostly arrive after March. Puppies arrive year round. Puppies and kittens are not available for adoption until they are 8 weeks old.
Please consider adopting an adult animal before a young puppy or kitten since older animals are more difficult to place. Some adult dogs have already lived with families and are great with kids. These dogs don’t need as much training as puppies do.
5.) How often do your get new animals?
The shelter receives new animals every day. The animals we receive are generally animals that are found in the street or given up by their owners.
6.) Can you call me when a certain breed comes in?
Unfortunately we can not call you but we recommend that you check with us often. You can also visit www.basv.org to view pets that are currently in the shelter.
7.) What if the shelter is closed and I need assistance?
Phone messages are checked often; an officer will call you in a timely manner. If you have an emergency, you should call the Burbank Police Department at (818) 238-3000. Emergencies may include injured animals and dog bites. All other inquiries can be left on the shelter voice mail at (818) 238-3340.
8.) Does the shelter offer spay and neuter services, vaccinations, veterinarian care, or boarding?
No, the shelter does not offer any of these services for your pet but please contact your local veterinarian for these services.
