Meet Basil, your new best friend who has journeyed through some tough times and is ready for a loving forever home! 🌟 This courageous little guy made his entrance into the world on January 10, 2025, and let me tell you, he’s seen more than his fair share of challenges. Just when you think this story couldn’t get any more heart-wrenching, hold on to your tissues! At just a few months old, this tan cutie was hit by a car and brought to the Northwood Animal Hospital in sheer distress. 🏥 He had a painful midshaft fracture on his left rear leg and to top it all off, a bullet had been lodged in his rump. Is that not heartbreakingly absurd? Here’s a pup that has every excuse to be fearful, yet there he was, ready to fight back with that resilient spirit! 💪✨ Once he received the medical attention he so desperately needed, including a splint, vaccines, and neutering, Basil showed everyone just how tough he really is. After some time recovering, he had surgery to fix that pesky luxating patella, which can make it tough for dogs to stay active. But oh, don’t let that fool you! This little guy loves walks and gets along fabulously with his repaired leg! 🚶‍♂️❤️ He’s more than just a survivor; he’s a fighter who deserves a chance to shine in a loving home. Now, let’s get to that charming personality! Basil has a unique look—the shape of his nose is reminiscent of a Terrier, and at only 30 pounds, he’s a compact bundle of joy at 11 months old! 🐶😊 He’s ready to bring laughter and love into the lives of those who pick him. If you’re someone who believes that love conquers all, including past adversity, then Basil is waiting for YOU! 📦💙 Basil is currently residing at the Northwood Animal Hospital and is looking for a forever home where his loving spirit can be nurtured.
