WELCOME TO GLENDALE HUMANE

We are a non-profit, donor-supported humane rescue organization. Since 1924, Glendale Humane 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.

With TV’s Dr. Phil’s generous help, Glendale Humane has broken ground on a magical space for pets and people to get to know one another and forge a bond that will help hundreds of homeless dogs find their forever homes. Maggie’s Barkyard will be a beautiful, happy and safe place for our dogs to romp, run and play.

Here’s the current reality of the dog park…

And an artist’s conception of the joyful space that will be Maggie’s Barkyard…

Dr. Phil’s lead gift, made in honor of his beloved dog Maggie, has created the foundation for this exciting new space and now we need your help to complete it. Be part of this special space and leave a legacy for generations to come by dedicating a brick paver that will become a permanent part of Maggie’s Barkyard . With a $100 donation, you can personalize a paver with an inscription- a great way to recognize family, friends and beloved pets.

ASPEN NEEDS YOUR HELP

Aspen needs to have surgery. This gorgeous Aussie girl had a dislocated leg that healed incorrectly. In order to correct her leg and reduce her pain, she requires an intensive surgery that will realign her bones and pin them together so they may heal properly. She will also require several weeks of recovery time and therapy.

Surgery of this kind is very expensive and will cost between $3,000 and $4,000. Won’t you please donate to Aspen’s Surgery Fund so that this beautiful girl can be on her way to recovery and a long, happy life?

Donations may be sent directly to the shelter or can be made online by clicking the PayPal link in the upper right corner of our home page. Please be sure to indicate that your donation is for Aspen’s Surgery.

Thank you so much for helping us to give Aspen her much-deserved second chance for a healthy, happy life.

Draw the Dog is a cute and clever website that captures the unique, comical and down right silly antics of dogs. Draw the Dog is drawn by Jim George who lives near the beach in Venice and spent years animating. (He’s created characters for film and TV, been a director, book author and also has a counseling practice). Jim really likes animals and people, too and would almost certainly run out of good ideas, so the whole idea of the website is that most cartoons are inspired by real life dogs and their real life antics.
Since the vast majority of dogs have trouble typing, Draw the Dog depends on dog owners to write descriptions of their canine companions and their exploits. If inspired by your story, Jim will write inspired by (your dog’s name) in (your town and state) next to the resulting cartoon. They post a new cartoon every day except Sunday.
Click here to visit Draw the Dog. View these comical and clever cartoons and learn how you can make your canine companion famous, or in some cases, infamous!

Glendale Humane proudly feeds our pets Merrick gourmet pet food, made in the US by the Merrick family for the last two decades. The secret to Merrick’s products is the simplistic approach they take in making them. They are a simple processor, meaning they use the least amount of steps during manufacturing to retain as much of the natural benefits as possible. They use human grade ingredients along with fresh fruits, vegetables and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Merrick’s mission statement is “Comfort for the Soul,” and they provide that by offering simple, nutritious and healthy products and committing themselves to the proverb “A good man is concerned for the welfare of his animals.” Click here to visit the Merrick Pet Care website and learn more about Merrick pet foods and treats.
