My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dog Day Out, 7/17/24:
Shiloh went to PetSmart to get a new bone, got a “pup cup” from Starbucks, walked the Cates Farm Trail in Mebane, went for a ride in a golf cart and enjoyed the AC at home. Very snuggly and gentle dog, wanted to be with my daughter wherever she was. Not reactive at all to other dogs at PetSmart. Knows sit, went potty outside. Very sweet and loves his tennis ball! Shiloh was the perfect pup: very well-behaved, gentle with treats and content to lay on the couch and snuggle with you. Only went potty outside and knows “sit”. He loves car rides, had no trouble going up and down stairs. We have cats, but did not get to see any interaction as they stayed hidden. He didn’t bother their food bowls or litter boxes.

Foster notes, 2/27/24:
Shiloh loves to please! He’s a snuggly sweetheart with high energy. He would do best in a home with a backyard. He is treat motivated and when he has enough time to play & run outside, he’s a very good boy who will settle down to calmly chew a bone.

Shiloh is:
- Great at riding in cars
- Knows Sit
- Housetrained
- Can quietly sleep in his crate overnight for 8 hrs (after a very small amount of whining)
- Timid around doors & going downstairs
- Very respectful to other dogs & people on walks (even if other dogs are barking & hyper!)
- Shiloh likes to jump up & “hug” his people
- Very quiet, only barking rarely for communication purposes.

Additional adoption info

Connecting with pets at BAS is fun, hassle-free, and easy as 1,2,3!

1) Stop by anytime we are open. Most pets are ready to go home with you the same day!

2) View available pets from anywhere, 24/7/365! New pets arrive daily, and our website updates hourly with new arrivals: burlingtonnc.gov/visitBAS

3) Email petadoption@burlingtonnc.gov about pets onsite at our Pet Adoption & Resource Center, or email fosterpets@burlingtonnc.gov about pets in foster homes

Things to know:

If you already know you want to proceed with adopting a specific pet, please email us at petadoption@burlingtonnc.gov and let us know you want to go ahead and adopt. You can still meet the pet before finalizing the adoption to make sure they are a great fit for you.

Pets are adopted on a first-come-first-served basis and may be adopted very quickly. You can see the current status of available pets on our website. Pets that are listed as "Available" are currently available for adoption. Those with a status of "Adoption Pending" or "Unavailable" already have been spoken for and are no longer available for adoption. The status of these pets will be updated back to "Available" if their original placement falls through. Our website automatically updates every hour and displays all pets at BAS Pet Adoption & Resource Center or foster.

Visitation and adoption of pets in foster must be scheduled directly with the foster volunteer since these pets are not at the Animal Services Center. Email fosterpets@burlingtonnc.gov to schedule a visit or adoption of a pet in foster care.

Stop by and visit pets at the Burlington Animal Services Pet Adoption and Resource Center six days a week:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday: 8:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.
Thursday: 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m
Saturday: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Closed on Sundays and Holidays

Pets receive vaccines, testing, and preventatives appropriate for their species and age, as well as any necessary treatments. Dogs and cats are spayed or neutered. BAS adopters also receive exclusive discounts on food, veterinary care, training, and more through our partners. All this is included in the adoption!

Adoption fees are very low and are sometimes waived as part of regular adoption special events through out the year. To see our current adoption fees and specials, visit burlingtonnc.gov/visitBAS. Our goal is to ensure every pet has a positive outcome and gets to live life with a loving family.

To take home a pet, adopters or fosters only need to present a government-issued photo ID and be at least 18 years old. There is NO lengthy paperwork to fill out and NO intrusive or lengthy process. Most pets can go home the same day, and we provide resources and ongoing support to help you and the pet make a smooth transition!


Burlington Animal Services Pet Adoption & Resource Center is at 221 Stone Quarry Rd. Burlington, NC 27271.

Want to help a pet, but not ready to commit? Consider temporarily fostering a pet: burlingtonnc.gov/foster!
