Basil is a 9 month old Yorkie x Norwich Terrier who has a green thumb and a garden of love in his heart! Basil came from the shelter with a few of his friends after his former home was no longer able to care for him. We told him we would find him a perfect forever home and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Basil weighs 13 pounds and is as happy as can be to follow you along on all of life’s adventures. Basil is a pip-squeak boy with a heart bigger than his body and he promises to make all your wishes come true if you are lucky enough to bring him home! Basil's foster mom has not seen him shed, so he could be an option for those with allergies. 

Basil is the sweetest pup looking for a home ready to give him the best life has to offer from toys to belly rubs to snuggles to walks to treats. This little boy has the most fabulous habit of building pillow forts and curling up on them like the king he is. He loves prancing around the house and yard with his toys as he shows off his adorable face. Basil loves his people more than anything and would love to take on the world, whether on a leash or in a doggy backpack. He has bursts of puppy energy and adores squeaky toys, but he’s also content lounging around and getting naps in. He also loves to shred paper so make sure you keep important documents away from this wannabee accountant! He would love a permanent spot on the couch in a cuddle pile, and with his little smiling face it’s hard to resist him. 

Basil starts his morning at 7:30 AM with a potty break and some zoomies. This early bird always gets the best worms and happily greets the day. He waits a bit before breakfast, working up an appetite with toys and cuddles. Throughout the day, Basil loves to hang out with his people but he is also more than happy to occupy himself if needed. He loves soft beds, soft blankets, and warm laps to cuddle up on for hours at a time. At 5 PM, Basil has dinner followed by more playtime and an evening walk before he curls up for bed! 

Basil gets along with the resident dog and would love a canine companion in his forever home! Basil experienced a leash for the first time in his foster home and he is learning to love exploring the world. He gains confidence as he watches other dogs and people do the thing, so he’d love to do it with you! Basil would love a home ready to put in the time to help him bloom into a confident dog. Watching Basil figure out the things he loves will be the best adventure there is for his new people! 

Basil is only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8.
