Meet Sweet Basil, an 8-month-old mixed breed pup with a gentle spirit. Initially a bit shy, she warms up quickly, revealing her playful and affectionate nature. With a fondness for squeaky toys and treats, Sweet Basil's goofy demeanor shines through in the right environment. She’s still navigating friendships, so she responds well to gentle introductions and patient humans who allow her to set the pace. With some time and love, she could become a cozy companion who cherishes her favorite people. Sweet Basil is available for an Adoption Audition — a fun five-day trial period to see if she’s the right fit for your home. If she sounds like your ideal buddy, head over to the shelter to meet her! Visiting is easy; just check whether she’s at our Michael R. Frey Campus or Lorton Campus during open hours. You might just find your new best friend!
