We presently have many adult cats and kittens urgently seeking forever families to call their own. Please consider one of our older pets as companions for your family. Many have already been spayed or neutered thus reducing the cost to you!

Hi My name is Twizzler and I have been at the shelter for WAY too long. 6 months too long.
When I first came to the shelter I was very thin and weak. You would never think that though looking at me now. I have gained alot of weight. I am a very laid back girl who loves attention!
I could really use a home to call my own. Why not come down to the shelter and spend some time with me.
I am sure you will love me!

The Burlington Animal Shelter graciously accepts donations to its fund Promoting Animal Welfare (the P.A.W. Fund).

Who We Are
Burlington Animal Shelter is operated by the City of Burlington. We have been providing Animal Control Services to the community of Burlington since 1968. Our services include adoptions, sheltering of lost and stray pets, animal control, and by-law enforcement. Our vision is to maintain an Animal Control orgainization that is committed to excellence in service, and the welfare of all animals.
Adopting a friend
Burlington Animal Shelter is responsible for sheltering and caring for all lost and stray pets within the City of Burlington. Provincial statute mandates that we hold stray pets for a 72 hour redemption period (excluding holidays) prior to placing any pet up for adoption to a new home. If not claimed by an owner, the Burlington Animal Shelter becomes the legal guardian of these pets. This is our opportunity to place these pets into new and more caring homes. As an added bonus to our potential adopters, our animals are given age appropriate vaccinations, a free physical examination (with a Burlington Veterinarian), a microchip for permanent identification and 6 weeks of pet insurance coverage. During the adoption process, we encourage prospective adopters to spend time getting to know the pets so that they can make an educated choice for their new companion. Our staff will spend time answering questions and will explain the responsibilities of owning and caring for a new pet.
We have a variety of animals in the shelter that are awaiting adoption into loving new homes.
Hill's Shelter Nutrition Partnership
The Burlington Animal Shelter is happy to be a part of the Hill's Shelter Nutrition Partnership. Currently all dogs and cats in the shelter's care are fed Hill's Pet Food keeping them on a consistant and nutritious diet.
