About Basil

Basil is a wonderful male puppy looking for a loving home. At just around 3 months old, he’s a Shepherd/Lab mix full of energy and curiosity. Basil currently finds himself at risk in a high-kill shelter in Alabama and is hoping to catch a ride to Wisconsin, where he can start his new life with a caring family. He’s part of a litter that’s already climbed one big hurdle, and now they all need a safe place to land. This handsome gentle giant will grow to be a large dog, and at this age, he needs a family who understands the time and patience required to raise a puppy. Basil is still learning the ropes, as he is not house trained or crate trained yet, but he does get along well with other dogs and should integrate smoothly into a new environment. He’s also likely to get along with cats and is good with children, making him a great option for families. Basil has a beautiful golden coat that is sure to shine in the sun. If you can provide a loving home and help him get to Wisconsin, you’ll be giving him the second chance he deserves. Adoption fees help cover his vetting and support the rescue program.
