Meet Moe! This sweet girl has got a heart full of love just waiting to bloom! She may be a little shy, but once you earn her trust, you`ll find a loyal companion who`s ready to shower you with affection. Here are some foster notes on Moe:
This dog is an intelligent, affectionate, and playful companion who has quickly adapted to her new environment and commands. Within just a month, she has almost mastered basic commands verbally and/or with hand cues such as `sit,` (fist) `stay/wait,` (open palm like stop) `lay down,` (fingers pointing or touching ground), `down,` and `drop it,` demonstrating impressive learning ability. She is treat and toy motivated, which makes her eager to learn and engage in interactive play, especially when playing fetch—bringing the item back every time. She really gets engaged in food dispensing puzzle toys and is persistent in figuring them out. Moe is a fantastic car rider, sitting perfectly in the car or laying down to take a nap. Overall, Moe is generally calm and quiet.
Though initially a bit skittish, Moe has quickly overcome any fears and is now a loving lap dog, happily seeking belly rubs and affection and following around her people from room to room. Moe sleeps peacefully in the crate without barking throughout the night (she rarely ever barks), and when asked, heads to the crate or bed without hesitation. Moe enjoys spending time napping by the fireplace and running around the yard, showing off her energy and zest for life. She will calmly watch through the windows to see everything going on outside.
Social and friendly with other dogs, Moe`s eager to play and get along well with neighbor dogs. She also seems to be fully potty trained. Her silky fur and beautiful hazel eyes add to her overall charm. While Moe may need a bit of training to curb her playful nipping at people, she is great about not jumping on anyone. She patiently allows her paws to be wiped clean on muddy days and waits to play hide and sniff with her food. With a little continued guidance, this loving and playful dog is sure to make a wonderful addition to any home.

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, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday: 8:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.

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 through out 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.
