Story
I got Beau 6 years ago from a breeder in High Point at birth. He is 6 years old and full of life. We live in a neighborhood with a small backyard where he stays at. He is an extremely playful and loving dog. He just wants to lick and love on everybody. We recently have a new baby and between the baby and work I am not able to spend much time with him, and my wife is not a huge dog person. I want him to have someone who can love on him more and play with him. He is full of energy and loves to run. He is registered, and has an incredible pedigree with numerous field trial dogs is his lineage. He's been around kids a couple times and seemed to be great with them. I feel like there is a home out there where he can get more love and attention.

Story
Milly is a sweet dog that would do well with someone who could be more involved and keep her active. She does best with one owner, or a couple with no children. I have had her for ten years along with my cat, whom she tolerates. Am no longer able to care for her due to tragic events in my life and no time.. She is house trained but needs to be leash trained and would do well with someone who knows how to give her lots of attention. She is fine around my grandchildren, but is never around other children much. She does not respond well to men or strangers at first, but with time adapts to new people.

Story
Volunteer notes on Nona:Do you need a daily dose of sunshine to warm your heart? Beat the heat and adopt Nona instead! This 2-year-old ebony princess is sweet, trusting and loving to her very core. When we are together her main goal is to get as close as possible and solicit my affection. Her positive energy is contagious, like a rush of endorphins that rejuvenate and revitalize my spirit. All is ok in my world once Nona offers her kisses. I have no doubt this mama gave her multiple litters of pups her absolute best. I could sit and revel in Nona’s company forever, but it wouldn’t be fair of me not to share her with the world.

Story
Meet Sherman! This guy is one big hunk of burning love. This big boy may look tough, but inside he`s all sugar. Sherman is bursting with love and cannot wait to show everyone! He is bold and confident and LOVES meeting new people! He is super sweet and affectionate and has the best cuddles. He is currently in a foster home, and his foster mom says that he is house trained, non-destructive (always a plus!), and super laid back (he spends most of his day sleeping!). He enjoys a leisurely game of fetch and an evening walk (a short walk that is!). And he lives for chasing squirrels out of the yard (Professional Squirrel Removal Service with a sloppy smile)!

Story
Foster notes, 12/4/23:Pie is an extremely affectionate dog that has lived most of his life in the shelter. He would benefit from some training as he can be hyper but this is at no fault of his own. Having another playmate helps with his energy. Because Pie hasn’t had a lot of interactions with other dogs and been able to be a pup himself, all he wants to do is play while the other dogs are wanting to rest. With positive redirection Pie will calm down and take a rest himself. Pie gets really excited and will try to grab blankets, toys, whatever may be around so I would recommend lots of variety of toys for him. He absolutely loves playing fetch and could play this for hours if you allowed it. Pie is such an amazing dog that has been looked over time and time again. All he wants is love, affection and attention. He will make an amazing partner in any adventure his family goes on. He loves to ride in cars and when we take him out, he goes to the car wanting to get in- it’s the absolute cutest thing. Pie loves to get belly rubs and will reward you with all of the kisses in the world. He is such a good boy that is so deserving of a forever home. Pie is house and crate trained, and lets you know when he needs to go potty. He is walked on a leash to go outside and is starting to do much better on leash. There are times when Pie will take charge and wants to walk himself by taking the leash in his mouth and starts walking in the direction he would like to go. I crate Pie when I leave the house and he’s done absolutely amazing. Pie knows sit and that is about it. We are working on other commands. I would recommend not playing tug of war with him and just tell him to “drop” the toy and he will so you can then throw it for him to go and fetch. This is a positive way to play with Pie that does not get him too overstimulated and excited. Pie does amazing with my 2 year old and my other dogs. I would recommend that Pie go to a home with at least one other dog so he can have someone to play with as playing as become his absolute favorite thing to do. I also have cats in the house and Pie is not bothered at all with them and does not engage with them at all, he is just uninterested in cats. Like every dog, Pie just needs a family willing to show him patience and love and who will work with him. Sound like you? You can either schedule a visit at www.burlingtonnc.gov/visitBAS or stop by our facility during regular business hours!Dog Day Out notes, 9/2/2
