Basil has bitten during nail trims in the past, so he needs an adult-only home that understands his handling needs. He currently does well at a grooming facility that uses a protective cone and grooming hammock.<br/>He also needs someone who can provide regular bathroom breaks and help him adjust to his new routine.<br/><br/>His veterinary care needs to be brought up to date, including heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and a neuter. <br/><br/> WHY FOSTER-TO-ADOPT?<br/>Because Basil is still with his original family, we have an opportunity to make his transition as smooth as possible!<br/>Rather than bringing him into our rescue and placing him in expensive boarding while we search for a family, we would love to find someone who is already interested in making him a permanent part of their life.<br/><br/>A foster-to-adopt home would allow us to bring Basil directly into our care while giving him the opportunity to settle into what could become his forever home.<br/>And for Basil, that means fewer changes, less stress and a chance to start bonding with his future family right away. <br/><br/><br/>He's spent nearly his entire life with the same family. Our goal is to make sure his next chapter is filled with stability, love and the attention he deserves.<br/><br/> Michigan<br/> Foster-to-adopt home needed<br/> Currently still with his original family<br/> Interested in fostering to adopt Basil?<br/>Please complete our foster application and mention BASIL!<br/><br/> Can't foster-to-adopt?
