Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Notes from the foster: `Turkey is the sweetest cat I have ever met. He immediately adapted to our house and has had absolutely no problems - he is litterbox trained and not picky when it comes to food or water. He loves being around people and to be cuddled and pet, and is also great at entertaining himself with toys when we are out of the house. He hasn`t interacted with any other animals yet, but I can imagine that he would adapt easily. Turkey loves being around people, and would be so happy in a home where he can get lots of cuddles and attention.
Turkey is housetrained and goes to the bathroom around twice a day. We have not put him outside, but he is more than happy to be indoors - both when with others and when left alone. We haven`t used a crate with him since he is very well behaved when left unattended, but he was slightly anxious in the BAS carrier we used to take him home and is much happier when sitting on the lap of or being held by a passenger in the car. Turkey demonstrates absolutely no negative behaviors - anyone would be lucky to have him as a pet!`

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.
