Barrister is a sweet, old gentleman and is looking tor his forever home. Barrister is one of the calmest dogs I have ever met. He never jumps, rarely barks, and enjoys spending the day curled up on the couch next to you. Barrister is heart worm positive, so he doesn’t need long walks; to the end of the block and back is just fine for him. He’s very gentle on the leash and doesn’t need more than a light tug to change directions. My elementary-aged daughter was able to walk him by herself just fine.
He is very good with other dogs. We had two play dates with other families with dogs and Barrister enjoyed meeting and playing gently with the other pups. At one house he went nose-to-nose with their cat and showed no signs of aggression, just curiosity.
Barrister is not fully house trained yet. He would need a family that can provide a regular bathroom schedule, a safe place to stay when his people aren’t home, and lots of positive reinforcement when he goes outside. He is not crate trained, but I was able to get him in the crate, so with patience, that should be achievable.
Barrister is very gentle and does not resource guard. He takes treats very carefully and eats slowly. He doesn’t beg at the table and didn’t attempt to sneak food that was left on the counter. He was great when we gave him a bath outside and he doesn’t mind having his paws wiped down after a walk.
He would be a great pet for someone who wants a low-energy friend that wants nothing more than to be with you and get his belly scratched.

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, Wednesday, and Friday: 8:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.
Tuesday & Thursday: 8:00 a.m. - 6:30 p.m
Saturday: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

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 throughout 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.
