My personality

My story

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

Duke is a super sweet, easy-going, people- and dog-friendly buddy. He is easy on the leash, easy in the yard, affectionate and calm, nonreactive. He would probably make a really good couch potato, and he even looks like a cute little spud on four legs. He`s a nice medium size dog who appreciates any and all pets from his newest human friend!

Foster notes, 6/19/24: Duke is an easy going fellow! He enjoys spending time outside on my covered porch. We have 5 other dogs big and small, male and female and Duke doesn`t seem fazed by any of them. He is content sleeping inside or out side among them all, and there have been no arguments. He is not interested in playing with toys. He does enjoy a walk on a leash and walks well on a leash. He just joined our group today, but so far no accidents.

Older dogs have a decreased chance of being adopted, so I want to share some of the benefits of adopting an older dog. To start with, what you see is what you get!They still need to get out and have adventure, but not nearly as long nor as intense.They`re calmer and are content just hanging out and relaxing with you. They`re out of the chewing phase so you don`t have to worry about your furniture or other belongings being chewed. They`re potty trained so you don`t have to worry about your floors being ruined. Finally, they will love you for giving them a second chance. Please consider this easy going older fellow as a new addition to your family.

Duke walks well on leash, is doing well with other dogs, is good with small children, and is potty trained.

Dog Day Out, 6/14/24:
We went to the Burlington City Park! Duke was kid-friendly and enjoyed the car ride.

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!
