This past Saturday Burbank Animal Shelter participated in Clear The Shelters, a promotion in conjunction with KNBC Channel 4 to help reduce the number of animals in shelters. Offering reduced rates for adoptions, the countywide program is intended to reduce the number of animals overloading shelters.

The Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter along with shelter staff helped people from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. as they looked through kennels of dogs, cats, bunnies and guinea pigs.

The results from the day are that 35 animals were adopted: five dogs, 28 cats, one rabbit and one guinea pig.

The shelter still has plenty of animals looking for new homes.
