Duce is our Tongue Out Tuesday model and he LOVES spending time in our play yard soaking up the warm sunshine, running zoomies, playing `Catch Me If You Can`, and simply spending time with his person of the moment. Duce is around a year or so old, and his big smile, cute piglet ears, and happy-go-lucky personality are sure to brighten anyone`s day. He was surrendered after his person moved and didn`t take him. Duce is ready for a whole new chapter and life with humans who will make him a part of their life, every single day. This loving and affectionate boy is waiting to meet you at BAS!
Dog Night Out, 7/6/24: Duce was super sweet! He has an awesome personality and definitely loves girls! He loved giving kisses, playing with us, rolling in the grass, and riding in cars. He is 100% good and super playful. He seems to still be like a puppy and constantly wants to play! He did amazing during car rides and would almost fall asleep. He is the perfect type of dog for someone who can give him attention and a good amount of activity! He also loves watching TV as well. He does need a little work on potty training, but he did do great throughout the night without needing to go outside in the middle of the night. He met two other dogs and all he wanted to do with them was play! He did great with them (one Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, the other a sort of pitbull mix). He is still working on house training. We took him out every few hours on a leash and let him guide us around our yard. He is good in the house, but definitely loves getting on the couches. He didn’t tear anything up and only played with his toys. He is SUPER gentle when taking treats. I have never met a dog that is that gentle! He can sit and sometimes speak on command. He rarely barks, but will for his toy or treat! He did great in the crate. He wined for a little bit, but he settled down and went to sleep for the night. He also had no accidents in the crate! He had no negative behaviors that I noticed.
Volunteer notes, 5/28/24: Duce is hilarious. He is full of energy and completely shameless about his treat consumption. He will climb in your lap for treats. He will run and jump for treats. He might even sit politely for treats—if it’s a high-value treat! He has a great attitude, friendly and joyful. He doesn’t necessarily respect personal space but if you’re looking for a big goofy lap dog, look no further!

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.

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!
