Story
Hi, I purchased Chico when he was around 12 weeks old. He is now 4 years old. His birthday is October 10, 2019. He is a big baby that still thinks he is puppy. He is my big baby. Last weighed in at 110lbs. Last vet is at Banfield Pet Hospital. He is very loving and playful. He gets excited to see people including the vet. He is not overly fond of bath time but he does not mind getting his nails clipped. He plays well with other dogs, adults and children. He love toys and get excited to see new toys. He likes to play tug and his form of fetch. I used to take him to PetSuites every Saturday for all day play. He loves outside and it is hard to get him to come in once he is out. He has a great appetite and he is not picky. He has always been on a limited ingredient diet food. He loves fresh fruit and veggies. He is a protector. He barks when he hears people outside the house and when people knock. But he has gotten lose and doesn't try to bite anyone.

Story
Hi, I purchased Snoop when he was around 12 weeks old. He is now 4 yrs old. His birthday is March 17, 2020. He is a big baby. He is so laid back I have often referred to him as my expensive throw pillow because he just lays around watching everything. He occasionally chew on toys but he refuse to play fetch or tug. He just wants to be loved on all day. Loves attention and the more you rub him, the more he smiles. He is not aggressive at all. He even like the vet. Rarely barks. Get along well with people, other dogs, and kids. He hasn't been near a cat so unsure about those but he doesn't bark at them when cats pass by the patio door. I use to take him and his brother to PetSuites every Saturday for all day play. He is good with bath time but isn't that thrilled with getting his nails clipped. He kind be picky about food. He has been known to skip dinner every once in a while especially if the extras aren't added. Goes to potty on a schedule of 6-7am, 3-4pm and 9-10pm.

Story
My dogs name is Bella, and she just turned 4 in February. She is very loving and energetic and sweet. She will literally run circles around you all day long without getting tired, she loves to be rubbed on and to have all of your attention. The only reason why I am deciding to find her a new home is because I just had my first child and it is incredibly hard to find the time to give her all my attention. I want/need her to go to a great loving home, someone that will have all the time in the world for her like she deserves. I will not let her go to just anyone, I love her too much to settle. I also really need her to go to someone with a house and backyard so she has space, she currently doesn’t have that right now and I know that is something she needs. She is a house dog and she is house trained, she is not an outside dog. She is obedient she knows a few commands. She does pull sometimes on walks. She does have skin issues which the vet said was hereditary to for her breed.

Story
Heavy is the perfect "house hippo"! While he loves to play with other dogs and run in the yard, he is an all-star cuddler when it's time to come in and relax. He craves human attention and love, so he would be your very best friend if given the chance. Heavy has the best manners too, he never jumps on you in greeting, but instead will roll over at your feet and ask for tummy rubs! He is quiet, gentle, trained, and well-behaved, just the total package! Heavy is a very handsome boy with beautiful white markings and soulful eyes that will melt any heart. He even has a bone-shaped spot on his back! Heavy is crate trained, house trained and loves talking walks (he has wonderful leash manners too!) Heavy loves everyone he meets, dogs and humans alike and would make an amazing family pet! He can't wait to see who his forever family will be!

Story
Apollo is a stunning boy with a black accent over his left eye. He has the most soulful eyes that are an amazing shade of green/gray! He is an adorable "house hippo", a stocky low rider who just wants to be your best friend. Apollo is wonderful with other dogs, but if he had his choice of playing or receiving pets, he will choose getting petted every time! He is one of the most affectionate and loving dogs who would make a perfect family pet! Apollo is well socialized and enjoys meeting new people. He is great on a leash and always up for a walk - especially if it means he gets to meet new people and dogs! He is very attuned to his people and wants to please. At the end of the day, he wants nothing more than to snuggle and cuddle with his people. Apollo loves going on adventures car rides too! He is crate-trained and knows basic commands. He is not a barker but will let you know if someone pulls into the driveway! If you are ready for a best friend, Apollo is your man!

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

Story
Volunteer notes, 4/22/24:Jazz is a gorgeous girl who looks like the dog version of a tiger. She runs like a big cat as well, bouncy, agile, and alert. She whined a little bit when she saw a dog in the next play yard but was otherwise pretty calm. She is the perfect medium size to climb in her person`s lap and receive pets (which she did). Her coat is very soft!

Story
Fun, playful, clownish, and smart--the words that seem to describe Moose. This super cute fella was picked up by the Burlington Police Department a few weeks ago and brought to BAS. He`s definitely not a criminal and did nothing wrong, he was just a lost pup who didn`t find his way back home. Moose is at least 5 years old and knows some basic commands. He has a happy and friendly personality, and he`s ready to bring much laughter, happiness, and love to a lucky person or family`s life. Moose did test positive for heartworm but we will be taking care of the treatment, so no worries! Moose is hoping to meet you today, so come visit us soon!Dog Day Out, 4/5/24:We started the day with some Starbucks--Moose loved his pup cup. Then we went to Cedarock Park and went on the Waterfall Trail and the Green Trail they have. Then we went to McDonald’s where he enjoyed some fries. Moose was fantastic, didn’t bark, didn’t pull--very gentle. On our hike we bumped into a couple of dogs and he wanted nothing to do with them. I have a 7 month old; she wasn’t with us the whole time but when she was, he paid little attention to her. He also knows tricks: sit and shake with both paws--very clever. If I could, I’d adopt this lovely guy in a heart beat.
