Pet Adoption Fair in Burbank this weekend

Need a new, four-legged member of your household? (You know you want one. Or two.  And it's kitten and puppy season.) Or just need your furry kid microchipped or vaccinated? Please come to the Tour for Life Pet Adoption Fair in Burbank's #MagnoliaPark this Sunday, May 4, between 11 and 3.  It will be held in the BofA parking lot at 3400 W. Magnolia. I'll be there helping out at the #MagnoliaPark table.  Please stop by and say hi.

Pig surprise for new Burbank home owners

My buyer clients, Shane and Stephanie, recently closed their purchase of a house on Pass Avenue in Burbank. Yesterday, they learned from the neighbors that the house had previously been used as a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig rescue sanctuary! One of the previous owners kept anywhere from 15 to 20 pigs on the property at any time -- and kept it secret from the City of Burbank, too. Nice work. We wondered about a 1-foot deep hole dug in the backyard and what it had been used for. I'm now guessing that it was a pig wallow. While I am surprised, I'm always happy to know that some humans are kind enough to protect animals. And my clients are waiting for a stray pig to come to their door some day and ask for sanctuary.
