Burlington Animal Shelter

We adopted a new family member 3 years ago. 7 yr old female German Shepherd mix (Indy). The staff was friendly and helpful. Will adopt from them again. Indy is such a lovely dog.we have now adopted another new family member today (Dec 30 2021). Duke is a beautiful boy and is a joy to have him join our family.

I adopted my 9 year old boxer about 10 weeks ago. I was very impressed by the care provided by the shelter. She was there for about a month before I adopted her. She was well groomed and looked well cared for. She required surgery and antibiotics when she was found as a stray, which probably cost well over $1000. Very clostly. Being 9 years old, some places may have euthanized her. And for a mere adoption fee, she was mine! She is a fabulous dog! I don't know if I lucked out. Thank you to the Burlington Animal Shelter for their work and love of animals.

This place is not what it used to be. The new girl running it doesn't care at all about the animals and after 5 minutes of being in there that much is obvious. To me it feels like all she cares about it is making money off the animals. It's quite sad. I had to come because someone brought my pet there but if I found one this is the last place I'd bring it.

I adopted a little chihuahua mix from the Burlington animal shelter in march of this year . The staff was very helpful .. The animals in there care are well cared for and they're given all the medical attention they need to be adopted . Plus your new pet goes home with a nice litte care package . i would definetely recomend adopting there .

Great place, staff friendly and knowledgeable the pets they have for adoptionWe have adopted 2 senior dogs in the past 3 years (Indy & Duke).Both are awesome pets. Will be adopting from them again.

I took in a kitten off the street a few months ago. Gave it a place to sleep, food, love...but of course I let him out as well. Only when I was also home, never while I was at work, and never at night. Someone on my street finds him and takes him here. After just 3 days they want $150 to get the cat back. I, not having worked in almost a year, can't afford this. So I said I'm willing to continue taking care of the cat, I didn't lose him, had my neighbour left him alone he would've came back like he always did. This was not enough. They need the money and started to threaten me with collection agencies and adding the bill to my property taxes. So let's be clear. This is not a shelter. This is a FOR PROFIT organization that exploits the animals for financial gain.

Adopted my beautiful cat, Shirley, from here a few years ago and she has been a blessing, the sweetest kitty. Glad I visited this place and the staff member was extremely kind and patient. Thank you.

Been coming here with my girlfriend to donate sheets for the past few years. Every time we come the people over the counter are super friendly and very thankful for our donation. We always try to look at the animals they have and see if we can give them some love before heading out and they always seem to be well taken care off.

I adopted my Boxer from here about 9yrs ago. (Omg can't believe it was that long ago!) Still to this day I can't believe how lucky I was to find her. She was a stray & only 6mos old at the time. I was told she was being held for 7days in hopes somebody would call to claim her. On that 7th day I couldn't believe nobody claimed her & she was still there. I took her home that very same day! She would've never survived as a stray. It was winter, she was so thin & also had/has no fear of cars/traffic. I fear she never would've made it, if not for them picking her up. I've had several Boxers throughout my childhood & I still can't believe I found this amazing girl & It didn't cost me $500-$1000 either. Only $150 adoption fee + the $50 license. I highly recommend to anyone who's looking to welcome a pet into their family, please adopt a pet in need from your local shelters. IMO They appreciate your love & kindness the most. The staff was very kind & helpful. The location was very clean.Much Luck to all of you who are searching for the right pet, hopefully you'll find it here❤
