This place for animal adoption is awsome! If you want to bring home a rescue pet this is the place! Blippi visited here, and the best pets from experience are rescue pets from adoption! They have pets for every animal lover who wants to adopt a pet! Staff here are awsome, and place is clean!

Tried calling ahead, and noone picked up. Showed up during their very limited Saturday hours, and they told us we weren't allowed to even see nor meet the dogs unless we made an appointment for Tuesday. We work Tuesdays, and it's ridiculous we have to pick which dogs to meet based on a couple pictures on the website. How many dogs go unadopted because of these backwards policies? Be better.

We just adopted a cat from this place. The people who assisted us were friendly and helpful, and put us in touch with the newest member of our family! ❤️

Lovely and helpful staff, appreciated them letting me spend time with the pup I adopted. Giving me advice on nervous dogs and even giving me puppy pads for training! (Picture taken before signing adoption papers and a week after adoption papers)

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Theres this cat that has been under my patio and has been meowing all night and I finally convinced the cat to come to me and I got her in my dog's cage. Can I bring her there to drop off??

Rob Pach | Aug 11, 2022
Sam Paulsen | Aug 12, 2022

Yes! As soon as they open they can take her. So nice of you to catch her, they will take great care of her and find her a wonderful home. I think they are open at 9a.

Yes, they will.

Where can I take my puppy for shots for free or somewhere I can make a payment plan

daridollface momma | Aug 11, 2022
Shannon Raleigh | Aug 12, 2022

Did you get it at Burien Cares? If so then your puppy already has his shots and neutered. Otherwise a Vet has to do it. I recommend 5 Corners their prices are reasonable

Call Cares in Burien an animal control officer will come our and check it out if you give them an address

Where do you get your animals from? Do people pay you to find the animal a home? Also how much is it to adopt a animal? Thank you for your time.

Patty, I highly recommend checking out their website. They are an animal rescue and shelter for unclaimed pets. They're also non-profit so they don't make money off of selling animals. I highly recommend Burien Cares!

How old do you have to volunteer during covid

I'm not sure but I believe this location is family owned and operated. Before the pandemic however, they did have volunteer positions available sporadically as needed but since the pandemic they have just had family related volunteers handling the daily business. When the pandemic ends and things get back to normal there will be a sign up sheet you can inquire about at the front desk they will be more than happy to help you. This is a wonderful group of people and they sure have done amazing things for all the animals and the people living in the surrounding area!!!

Do you take in dogs that bite? I need to give up our mini schnauzer. I now live in a retirement apt. and he is extremely protective of me & I can't take the chance of him hurting someone that lives here.

Diann Bradley | Aug 11, 2022
Martina Vahlberg | Aug 12, 2022

Please call Buruen cares. I'm sure they would be best to direct you and help in any way they can. For safe and well care fir your sweet doggie.

In regards to the kittens I'm sure Burien Cares can be of help or help you get the help you need.

Lysiah v | Aug 11, 2022
Samuel George | Aug 12, 2022

You might want to get the answer straight from them, but I'm pretty sure they are dogs and cats only. Check adoptapet.com it lets you enter search criteria

Do you take crows?

I've called and told them about a stray dog in Burien that jumps infront of cars. They don't ever answer or come out to investigate. It's very frustrating.

Do you have bunnies up for adoption?

What happens to an animal that has serious health issues when it is surrendered

Becki Olson | Aug 11, 2022
Tanya G | Aug 12, 2022

They will fundraise or get donor support to help care for the animal. They also do not take all surrenders, knowing they may not have the staff or funds to care for the animal

I found a stray dog and need to take it somewhere, do I have to be a burien resident?

Becki Olson | Aug 11, 2022
Otter Grotto | Aug 12, 2022

Did you find the dog in Burien? If so, call CARES 206-812-2737. If not, contact Regional Animal Services of King County. Also, post on Nextdoor, Lost Dogs of King County and Lost Pets of King County, both on Facebook.

Are there ANY places that'll help 2 very sweet pit bulls in the Tacoma Seattle area? Both are fixed, male and female, 6 and 8 years old. Getting evicted and these dogs are too sweet to be put down. Thanks.

Monique | Aug 11, 2022
Otter Grotto | Aug 12, 2022

CARES is wonderful, but you have to be a Burien resident. Search 'Misspits Rescue.' They may be able to help. Good luck to you and the pups 💜
