Our Shelter serves as the Rabies Control Center for the 40 townships of Burlington County! The vision of the Burlington County Animal Shelter is to create an environment where all animals receive appropriate care, love, and attention at all times. To ensure the best possible quality of life for all of our animals we work hard to promote respect and reverence by establishing a “no kill” philosophy.

By working with committed volunteers and rescues, more than a thousand animals' lives are saved each year. We strive to ensure our animals are placed in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption processes which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches for prospective adopters. Animals in our care are spayed or neutered, and receive veterinary care while they await placement into their forever homes. Additionally, the Burlington County Animal Shelter also provides the essential services for reuniting lost pets with their owners. For more information regarding our adoption process, services, and other important information please visit us online or give us a call.

🐾🐈Paws in the Air & Meow-Yeah‼ 🐈‍⬛🐾 It's National Adopt-A-Cat Month ‼ is recognized as , which also marks the height of “kitten season,” where large litters of are born & often end up in animal shelters. This is a month that raises awareness, also helps others learn cat-friendly ways to prepare your home for a new fur baby, & how to know which cat is best for you, & how to care for your feline friend.
🐾🐈🐈‍⬛When considering the adoption of a furbaby, take your time.
🐾🐈🐈‍⬛Consider your lifestyle (work schedule, activity level, etc.)
🐾🐈🐈‍⬛Make multiple visits before making a choice.
🐾🐈🐈‍⬛Do other members of your fur family need to be considered❓
🐾🐈🐈‍⬛When you bring your new family member home, have a space ready for him to decompress & adjust. Don't be surprised if he hides at first. This is normal cat behavior.

Celebrate this day by stopping by your local to see who is available for adoption‼ Donate &/or sponsor a cat or two at local cat rescues or animal shelters to help get these fur-babies adopted‼🐾🐈‍⬛🐈

🐾🍔🍢This happy boy is already gearing up for the Summer‼ Have you met TORCH (59577089)❓This 4-year-old Pitbull boy joined the BCAS family when he & his 4-legged family had to be removed from the home. Though they had a rough start, TORCH has been joyful, playful, & the most fun since day 1‼ We do not have much background on him, but here's what we have learned so much about Torch:
🐾🍔🍢Lovable + Playful + ACTIVE
🐾🍔🍢Enjoys petting + attention
🐾🍔🍢Loves the outdoors + exploring his surroundings
🐾🍔🍢Pulls hard on the leash, so a STRONG handler is recommended
🐾🍔🍢Knows some basic commands such as sit + down
🐾🍔🍢A little slow to correct, but does listen
🐾🍔🍢Enjoys playing with toys, especially keep away! Will have to barter to remove any toys during play. 😅
🐾🍔🍢Can be a bit mouthy during play, so we are recommending an ADULT-ONLY for this happy boy
🐾🍔🍢Though he came in with others, Torch needs to be the only KING of his castle. So NO OTHER ANIMALS for him‼
🐾🍔🍢Loves sharing treats with his favorite human
Interested in having some backyard fun with this happy boy❓
