About Basil

Basil is a charming young female Standard Dachshund/Poodle mix. Upon first meeting, she can be a bit shy, but her loving personality shines through once she feels comfortable. Known for her long body and short legs, Basil enjoys her daily walks and loves to run around, although she has been said to sometimes be a tripping hazard due to her affectionate nature of being underfoot. There's nothing she loves more than rolling over for belly rubs and cuddling with her favorite humans. While Basil gets along with some dogs, she prefers to avoid households with other female dogs. She may show interest in cats, but, with proper introductions, she could potentially adjust to a dog-friendly cat. A physically fenced-in yard is essential for her, as she isn’t suited for apartment living. Older children would be her best companions. If you’re looking for a sweet cuddle buddy, Basil could be a great fit for your family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
