My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

East is a sweet, affectionate, and intelligent boy who has come a long way in foster care and is ready to find a loving home of his own. He enjoys meeting new people, loves to cuddle, rides well in the car, and is very treat-motivated. Still in his “big puppy” phase, East loves being close to his people and happily leans in for attention and belly rubs. He has a laid-back energy level but absolutely loves long walks and would thrive in an active home with room to explore. East is potty trained and quickly picked up good leash manners, and while he is still building confidence around food after being underweight when found, he responds well to gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. He does well with smaller dogs and cats and is simply selective with some other dogs, continuing to make progress with socialization. An active home with space and plenty of love would be perfect for East—he has brought so much joy to his foster family and is ready to share that same comfort and companionship with a loving family.

Additional adoption info

Connecting with pets at BAS is fun, hassle-free, and easy as 1,2,3!

1) Stop by anytime we are open. Most pets are ready to go home with you the same day!

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.
