Burbank, California

Paw'd Squad. "he Paw’d Squad Animal Rescue is working toward a time in Los Angeles when all cats and dogs are cared for, when all puppies and kittens find loving and generous owners. We rescue unwanted and abandoned animals, provide them with medical care, rehabilitation and foster homes until caring adoptive homes can be found. We spay and neuter prospective pets and educate owners about the importance of pet population control. We educate and help caretakers maintain healthy feral cat colonies, with a goal of population control and placement of socialized cats and kittens in permanent loving homes.

History of Burbank, CA from the City of Burbank. "Burbank is a city built by People, Pride, and Progress. These three ingredients turned a tiny, rural town into the thriving community it is today.

In the beginning, the land occupied by the present City was part of two large Spanish land grants. The first was the vast Rancho San Rafael, granted to Don Jose Maria Verdugo by the Spanish government in 1798. Nearby Rancho La Providencia was created following Mexico's successful bid for independence from Spain in 1821.

The real history of the city, though, began when a New Hampshire dentist headed west with the thousands of Americans seeking new opportunities. This was at a time when men like Isaac Lankershim and Isaac Van Nuys were changing the face of the San Fernando Valley..."
