Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Basil is a charming 1.5-year-old black and tan dachshund who weighs about 14 lbs and adores the company of other small dogs. Rescued from a difficult past, Basil blossomed into a model canine citizen in his foster home: he's fully potty-trained, delights in playful romps with fellow pups, and is a true champ when it comes to couch cuddling. Though Basil can be wary at first, he quickly warms up and forms a deep bond with those he trusts. His foster family says letting him go will be bittersweet, a testament to the joy he brings. Basil needs a calm, fairly quiet home without young kids, ideally with friendly, well-adjusted small dogs. His ideal people stick to gentle voices, understand his need for patience with new experiences, and are home often or have flexible schedules. A fenced backyard is essential, as Basil may be a flight risk initially. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
