Dog Day Out, 8/9/24: Fernanda was a joy to have for the day! She was all smiles and loving affection; she is a people pleaser and would love nothing more to make you happy. She easily took direction on our walks together and in the house. Fern is a real treat on leash; she had pep in her step and was excited to go for a walk, but did not pull or yank while on leash. She got excited when we went towards the car and first got out of the shelter and pulled a little, but was so easily managed on leash! She did fantastic in my home; no accidents and always came to tell me when she needed to go outside to go to bathroom. Fernanda took a bath with the hose, was patient and accommodating. She leaned up against my legs when she wanted affection, and when I wanted a kiss, she would give me one (but wasn`t licking or kissy without consent! ;)). One of her favorite things we did was go for CAR RIDES! She was so happy to put her head out of the window and feel that cool breeze. She wanted to be a passenger princess and sit up in the front seat passenger side, and was thrilled anytime we went in the direction of the car. She is a very sweet, smart dog who is very observant. We spent a lot of the day on the front porch, and she was very content to watch the cars go by. Fernanda is clearly a lovebug; she is the perfect mix of energy and laidback coolness. She was so polite in the house and loving; she would make a loyal BFF for life!! Her beautiful sweet eyes and happy grin would make your day, every day! One of my favorite things is the cute snorts she makes while sniffing around and the utter joy she had to have one day out of the shelter.
Volunteer notes, 7/16/24: Fernanda is a beautiful velvety brindle tank who was perfectly polite, but it took a little time for her to warm up to us. She showed no interest in toys or treats and was laser-focused on all of the business on her agenda (based on her behaviors in the play yard, I would guess she is house trained). Once that was all taken care of and she had fully inspected the p

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.

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.
