Cheeto is an older guy at around 8 years of age or so, and yes, he has some lumps and bumps and warts, but they don`t bother him one bit. It`s just a part of becoming a wise and mature pup. Cheeto came to BAS as a stray and has a cheerful and friendly personality. As we always tell you, seniors make GREAT companions and Cheeto promises to as well, so come meet him today!
Volunteer notes, 5/2/24: Cheeto is such a wonderful boy. He had just had surgery on some lumps and bumps and was looking very cute in his purple bandages and pitiful in his Cone of Shame, so of course we had to take him for a short walk. This baby has personality plus and is a shrewd negotiator. For example, he decided he wanted to go for a car ride and tried to convince us we should take him away in a white truck that wasn`t ours. He cheerfully settled for some time in the play yard with plentiful treats. He barked once each time he took a treat; it was adorable. How is this precious creature not running some lucky human`s life for them yet?!
Dog Day Out, 4/19/24: Cheeto is the sweetest old man. We started out our day by taking a leisurely stroll through Burlington City Park, where he did amazing on the leash! Next, I met up with a friend to have a picnic at the lake. He LOVED meeting new people and would stand there and let them pet him forever if he could! Cheeto does well in the car, but much prefers to have someone to keep him company in the back seat :) Cheeto was very interested in the ducks and would bark at them occasionally, but responded well to redirection. He didn`t seem to know any commands (we tried `sit` and `down`), but he is VERY food motivated so I`m sure he would pick up on training quickly. Cheeto needs a little work on his manners while other people are eating, but I`m sure that once he spends some more time away from the shelter, his manners will improve. Overall, Cheeto is such a sweet boy and would love to be your new cuddle buddy! Or road trip buddy! Or anything buddy!
Dog Day Out 4/10/24: First Cheeto loved sticking his head out the car window when I picked him up! We headed to my house, where he met my dogs, Razzle and Pebbles (and the cats). We hung at the house for a bit, but decided to go meet up with the in-laws` dog, Dave the Labrador! I took Cheeto and Dave to Lowes where Cheeto got a lot of attention from one of the employees. After Lowes, I drove Cheeto and Dave back to the house where I got Razzle and Pebbles ready to go fo

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.

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!
