About Basil

Basil came to the rescue after being abandoned, tied to a fire hydrant. He's a shy terrier mix who takes time to build trust, but once he does, he's incredibly affectionate. Basil will roll over for belly rubs and prefers being close, whether during a walk or just hanging out. At about 45 lbs, he's solid and can pull on leash, but he's learning better leash manners and working on his basic commands. Basil thrives on routine and structure. He needs an adult-only home with someone comfortable handling nervous dogs—ideally an experienced owner ready to set boundaries and build his confidence. He's made real progress around other dogs and sometimes enjoys a good play session. Basil has plenty of love to give once he feels safe and would make a loyal companion for the right person. Adoption is by appointment only following approval. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
