About Basil

Basil is a lovable German Shepherd who steals the show wherever he goes. He has a playful spirit and a knack for earning belly rubs from anyone who walks by. After a transformative five weeks in training, he came back from South Lake Tahoe brimming with confidence and polished manners. Basil is an affectionate companion who thrives on human interaction and does well with other dogs, including a small resident pup in his foster home. He has also shown good behavior around children. At just over two years old, Basil has a bright future ahead. He’s eager for an adopter who will appreciate his lively personality and commit to maintaining his training. Basil has not been tested with cats, so a cat-free home might be best. It’s important for potential adopters to understand that on top of his adoption fee, we encourage a donation or annual support as part of our Pay It Forward program to help future shelter dogs.
