About Basil Baron
Basil Baron is a striking 8-year-old Bichon/Poodle mix who landed with the rescue after his time as a stray at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter. He came in with a left eye infection and ultimately lost the eye, but youād never know it from how well heās adapted. When he first arrived, Basil was underweight and very sick with kennel cough and pneumonia, topped off with a tricky fungal infection that took some effort to diagnose. He practically ignored food for weeks, but these days heās a healthy 15 pounds and looks forward to his homemade meals. Basil had never lived in a house before, and early on heād tremble when carried to bed, afraid he was in trouble. Itās taken time and patience, but heās learned comfort and safety. He enjoys being the center of attention and would thrive as an only dog. An easygoing female dog companion could work, but he doesnāt require one. Basilās biggest love in life is playing ballāheāll fetch for hours, even when heās not feeling his best. Heās done well with professional groomers, is good in the car, and interacts calmly with other resident rescues. While Basil will instinctively bark at the gardener or pool guy, itās more protective than nuisance. Heās had thorough vetting, including dental work, vaccinations, microchip, neuter, and labsāhe has a manageable grade two heart murmur and needs daily medication, supplied for the first three months and available at-cost through the rescueās vet. Basil is looking for a quiet home with an adult around most of the day. Retirees would be a natural fit. Heād be content whether youāre active or more homebody. Heās also fine with grandkids or anyone willing to throw a ball with him. Basil Baron is in Cathedral City, CA and ready for his family. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
