About Basil

Basil is a social, playful mixed-breed dog who gets along with everyone—dogs, kids, cats, and even small animals. He’s hoping for a fenced yard to run and explore, but also likes to hang out on the furniture, especially his favorite chair, which is ready to move with him. Basil enjoys a good jog just as much as a lazy afternoon on the couch, striking a nice balance between adventure and relaxation. His signature look includes one light blue eye and one sparkling brown one, which always turn heads. Basil is house trained, crate trained, and has an easygoing, sweet personality that fits well in many homes. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and on prevention for heartworm, fleas, and ticks, so he’s ready to settle in with a new family. Start your journey together! Apply now.
