Meet Bear, a lovable dog currently in foster care. He is house trained and also has an outdoor kennel where he does well, without trying to dig or climb out. He enjoys spending a few hours outside but is definitely more of an inside pup who loves to cuddle. Bear is crate-trained and knows commands such as sit, lie down, paw, and high-five. He’s still working on “stay,” but he’s treat-motivated and eager to learn. Despite his age, he still has the energy of a puppy, often getting excited and running around. On walks, he can pull a bit but overall does well on a leash. Bear loves car rides, though he has a habit of jumping from the front to the back when he first gets in. While he’s fine with some dogs, he can be particular about others and is food reactive towards other animals but not people. He loves attention and will happily accept pets from anyone he meets on his walks.

2) View available pets from anywhere, 24/7/365! New pets arrive daily, and our website updates hourly with new arrivals: burlingtonnc.gov/visitBAS
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, 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.
