Basil's Story

Hi there, I’m Basil—a 10-year-old gentleman with a tiny body, a big personality, and a whole lot of heart packed into my 13 pounds. I was found as a stray, so I was pretty nervous at first (can you blame me?), but once I realized the people here were kind, I started showing my true self. I’m friendly with everyone, I warm up with a little patience, and I definitely respond well to treats. Snacks are the way to my heart, and I’ll happily tell you all about it—I’m a bit vocal when I want something or have something important to say.<br/><br/>I’m an older guy, which means I’m more of a cozy companion than a marathon runner. With my age, I may slow down over time, but what I lack in speed I make up for in loyalty and charm. I’d love a calm home where I can settle in, enjoy soft beds, gentle routines, and lots of reassurance. Give me a little time, a lot of kindness, and a steady supply of treats, and I promise to be your devoted sidekick—possibly your personal alarm system, too. If you’re looking for a sweet senior who just wants comfort, care, and a safe place to land, I think we could be perfect together!<br/><br/>Our organization is foster based which means that we really know and understand our dogs personalities as our volunteers live each day in their house with our rescued dogs. Our fosters are available to answer your questions and will give you all the details you need to know about our dogs such as if they are shy, are they outgoing, what is their energy level, are they couch potatoes, love bugs, kissers, lickers, so please do apply and ask our fosters questions - this will ensure you find your pur-fect match in our rescue!<br/><br/>***IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FOSTERING OR ADOPTING BASIL, PLEASE FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AT WWW.MANYPAWSGLOBALRESCUE.ORG***

Many Paws Global Rescue Inc's Adoption Policy
Petfinder Inquiries are NOT an adoption application. If you are interested in adopting, you must fill out an application. After receiving an application via https://manypawsglobalrescue.org/applications-for-adoption/ , we call the potential adopter and explain our process and answer any questions they may have. After the initial call, we then call three personal references, vet reference and landlord (if applicable). Please understand that some animals will get several applications and our main priority is to find the BEST fit for each animal. We do not fully approve applicants until after the meet and great. Due to COVID, we have had to alter our home visits and are hosting calls via Zoom to see the home. In addition, we "Google map" to see what the traffic flow is around the home. After you submit an application, one of the Many Paws member will reach out to you via phone. If we feel the applicant may be a good fit, we set up a time for a meet and greet. Only after the meet and greet, if all goes well, we will then approve applicant and will finalize adoption contracts and fees.
