Basil's Story

Petfinder Inquires are not an application and will be ignored.<br/><br/>Basil is a 3 year old, 65 lb Bernese Mountain Dog. <br/><br/>Basil sadly spent her life living outside, being bred for profit. <br/>Because of that, she didn’t have a lot of human interaction or the chance to experience many “normal” things, certain things like the sound of busy roads are still new and can sometimes be overwhelming for her. She isn’t the kind of dog who will thrive with frequent outings to dog parks, stores, or crowded events. If you are looking for a dog to take everywhere, Basil is not a match. <br/><br/>She gets braver each day. She now loves going on walks and does great with a confident dog buddy by her side. <br/><br/>Basil is a goofy, loving girl. She absolutely adores her humans. She follows them from room to room to ensure she's not passing up a chance to get pets or snacks. If you dare to stop petting her, expect a paw or a head nudge asking for more. Her favorite place is right by your side, preferably on the couch with her head on your lap.<br/><br/>In her foster home, she happily greets visitors with tail wags and immediately requests pets. In new environments, however, she can be reserved and unsure.<br/><br/>She’s making up for lost time and soaking up every bit of joy and love she can find. She is an absolute delight to be around and will make a great companion.<br/><br/>Basil is crate trained and dog friendly. She will need regular brushing and grooming. <br/><br/>Basil is an amazing dog who needs a patient adopter willing to provide comfort, consistency, and security as she adjusts to her new life. <br/><br/>Adoption radius 60 miles from zip code 20906.<br/><br/>Application here: https://tinyurl.com/TLCdogapp<br/><br/>We do not promote any of our dogs as house trained or allergy friendly.
