Thank you for considering the VBAS as part of your planned giving. Our programs would not exist without the generous support of our donors. We are hopeful that by offering a variety of giving opportunities there will be one that meets your needs.
And remember, any time of year is a good time to consider your tax deductible gifts. Please include us in your year-round planning


Donations Make the Perfect Gift!
A donation to the VBAS in honor of someone on your gift list is a wonderful way to share your love with friends and family, and with our precious animals. Then, everyone gets to participate in helping our "temporary residents" find loving homes!! Each gift recipient will receive a letter notifying them of your donation.
A big "thank-you" from all of the dogs, cats, and bunnies at the Burbank Animal Shelter!!

General Giving
A donation to the VBAS general fund is of great help. It allows us to direct the funds you donate to the program that is most in need at that time.

Employee Payroll Deduction
Employers can encourage supporting community programs by offering the opportunity of naming VBAS as their charity of choice along with a direct deposit option.
