Meet Rocky, the incredibly handsome boy who’s spent most of the past year in foster care, and boy, does he know how to steal hearts! Recently back at BAS for a few days, he got the chance to go on a DDO (Dog Day Out) and made some new friends – who were all too happy to shower him with attention. Rocky is the sweetest boy, though he does have a bit of an explorer’s spirit. He pulls a little on the leash, but it’s only because there’s a whole world of smells out there waiting for him to discover!A word to the wise: Rocky is strong and has a mind of his own. He’ll need someone who can keep him on track (and maybe keep his curiosity in check!). But in the car? He’s an angel. Seriously, this guy’s got road-trip vibes down.Rocky is a selective fellow when it comes to his furry and human friends – he’s not shy about telling you who he likes. He’s definitely more of a `circle of trust` kind of guy, and unfortunately, cats and small animals don’t make the cut. He’s also a little cautious around strangers, but once he knows you, he’s all in. And yes, he’s potty trained, so you don’t have to worry about him making any “oops” moments.If you think you can match Rocky’s energy and give him the loving, attentive home he deserves, he might just be your new best friend. Just be prepared: when he’s in your circle, he’s in it for good!

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.
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 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.
