My story

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

Volunteer notes, 7/9/24:
Ace is a great dog. Expect some puppy behaviors. He could use some training but he gets so excited to get out and be with people. He loves to run, likes to be pet, and will give kisses. Once he`s on the leash, he is very good.

Volunteer notes, 5/29/24:
Ace was excited to get out of his kennel but did not react to the other dogs as he walked past them. Once in the play yard he was a little shy, but warmed up with some encouragement. He accepted pets and seemed affectionate and playful. He would benefit from some training on his jumping/mouthiness, which do seem normal for his age. He knows “sit” so he’s off to a good start! He has a beautiful, soft, black-and-white cookie coat and sweet eyes to match.

`I wish I may, I wish I might, get adopted before tonight!` Ace is all smiles because the weekend is here and he`s wishing and hoping to start it in his new forever home. This sweet 2 year old boy was surrendered for no fault of his own...simply due to circumstances in his prior home. But his owner shared that Ace is housetrained, was kept indoors, is good with kids, playful with other pets, and was spoiled. One of our volunteers shared her observations saying, `Ace was excited to get out of his kennel but did not react to the other dogs as he walked past them. Once in the play yard he was a little shy, but warmed up with some encouragement. He accepted pets and seemed affectionate and playful. He would benefit from some training to curb his jumping/mouthiness, which do seem normal for his age. He knows “sit” so he’s off to a good start! He has a beautiful, soft, black-and-white cookie coat and sweet eyes to match.` Ace is waiting to meet you at BAS and he promises to be your 100% best friend.

Volunteer notes, 7/3/24:
Ace jumps a lot. He has puppy behaviors such as chewing, but he`s very loving. Likes to be pet, and wants to be a lap dog. Has energy. Will follow you when walking in the yard.

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!
