Babs is a 1.5-year-old Boxer mix hoping to find her furever home today!

Several weeks ago, Babs was first spotted wandering through a neighborhood in Burlington. For about a week, she stayed in the area, carefully avoiding cars and keeping her distance from anyone who tried to help. Thankfully, our Animal Control officers were able to safely trap her and bring her to the shelter.

Since arriving, Babs has completely stolen our hearts. The scared, elusive dog we first met has turned out to be one of the sweetest dogs ever! She loves attention, enjoys spending time with people, and is always ready to share her goofy Boxer charm.

Babs has come such a long way, and now all she needs is a family to call her own. Could that be you?

Come meet Babs and all of our adoptable animals today from 12–6!
