About Basil

Basil is an affectionate beagle mix with soulful puppy eyes and a big heart. This charming guy loves nothing more than to be your shadow, whether that means cuddling on the couch, hitting the road for an adventure, or exploring with his nose. He’s great at greeting everyone, especially kids, and takes his job seriously, making new friends wherever he goes. Lively yet gentle, Basil enjoys playing with his toys and has an adorable habit of stashing his bones away for later. Though he’s still mastering house rules and crate training, he’s a quick learner. A fan of cheese and pumpkin, he appreciates treats during training sessions, especially when he’s gaining confidence being on his own. Basil has been tested with both dogs and cats and gets along well with both. Currently, he's recovering from a broken toe but keeps busy with toys and activities. While he enjoys some playtime, he also relishes lounging around with his people, soaking up the love. If you’re searching for a loyal companion to join you in life’s adventures, Basil is ready to be your new best friend!
