WELCOME TO THE GLENDALE HUMANE SOCIETY

Please enjoy this slide show of some of our well loved residents.

We are a non-profit, donor-supported humane rescue organization. Since 1924, the Glendale Humane Society has provided shelter for unwanted dogs and cats. Glendale Humane is a No-Kill facility. We care for our animals until they are placed in loving, permanent homes.

Featured Dog of the Week

Paris

Paris is the dog of our hearts. She is lovable, smart, well behaved and just down right adorable. Paris has her own career on stage. So far she has starred at the Alex Theatre in the play, “Annie”. She played Annie’s orphan dog, Sandy, and was a huge hit. This amazing pooch is a cancer survivor - clear now for two years. Paris lives in our office at GHS and charms everyone that stops by. She knows basic manners, walks beautifully on the leash and is housebroken. We would love to find Paris a foster home or a home of her very own. She is not interested in being with other dogs and is not a candidate for kitties but enjoys all people young and old. Though we find her irresistible Paris deserves a family to call her own. Please consider Paris if you have room in your heart. She is easy to care for - just add love. Please come meet Paris.»

SUMMER SAFETY TIPS FOR PETS

Protect Your Pets From Summer Heat!

Overheating can be deadly for your pet! Never leave your animal in a parked vehicle. Even on a relatively cool day with the windows open, a car can quickly become a furnace. Exercise your pet in the cool of the early morning or evening - hot asphalt or pavement can burn their paws. Extra precautions should be taken with senior dogs, short-nosed dogs, over-weight dogs, and thick-coated dogs, as they can quickly succumb to heat-stress. Provide your pet with plenty of fresh drinking water and shade while they�re outdoors.

Here are some tips to keep them safe during hot weather. »

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Do you enjoy the videos of our dogs on the adoption page?

We have actress and animal advocate, Mariana Tosca, to thank for them. Mariana founded Canine Cinema, a company that produces short films of people and their companion animals. Proceeds are donated to various animal protection organizations across the US. Please visit the Canine Cinema website at www.CanineCinema.com. Or visit Mariana’s website at www.mtosca.com.

We sometimes have under-age puppies and adult dogs in need of a quiet place to recover from recent surgeries.
