Foster notes, 7/16/24: My name is Davis, and I could tell you about my earlier life, but truth is, it’s not very happy. There is some speculation that I might have been hit by a car and/or thrown out of a car at some point. I do remember coming to Burlington Animal Services in early April with a badly injured leg. I was in there for about 2 months and my leg wasn’t getting better so my foster family took me home to help me recover. After a few weeks my foster mom became concerned about my leg and took me back to the shelter vet for another evaluation. The vet concluded that my leg would have to be amputated. To make matters even worse, due to unforeseen circumstances, my foster family was not able to keep me. Right now I have some healing to do, but I’m going to get well soon so that you can adopt me and I can be your new best friend. Do you think you have room in your home and heart for me? I promise, I will show you unconditional love and loyalty.
Here’s what my foster family had to say about me: Davis is a happy, super affectionate boy, who is eager to please. He is a great companion. Some days he would follow his foster dad out to his shop where he would be content to lie on the floor beside dad’s workbench, or hang out with foster mom in the garden to keep her company. He got along with our 13 year old dog, and the two would often hang out together. Davis is housebroken and knows basic commands; come, sit, stay, wait, bed. Walking on a leash is a work in progress. He is very good walking on a loose leash until he sees a biker or jogger. Then he gets excited and pulls, but he is easily corrected. Davis is not fond of fireworks and thunderstorms. He would pace for awhile before finally settling down close to his family. Davis loved being with his people!
He began to get a little overprotective and would get uneasy when people would come in the house. He would benefit from some training to address his reactivity, but he is a fast learner and so eager to please. With training, love, and patience he will be a wonderful companion and family member.

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.

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.
