Meet Basil — a gentle boy with the world’s biggest heart.

If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will adore you unconditionally, look no further. Basil is a big, goofy, soulful boy who has been patiently waiting for someone to choose him…

Basil is the definition of a “marshmallow dog” — sweet, sensitive, affectionate, and deeply loyal. He’s the type of dog who leans his whole body into you during cuddles, follows you from room to room with quiet devotion, and does a little happy dance when you scratch behind his ears.

He LOVES:
• curling up next to you on the couch
• sunbathing in the yard
• squeaky toys (especially the ones he thinks he’s hiding from you)
• being told he’s a good boy (he lives for this)

He’s a big guy with an even bigger heart — once he bonds with you, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without him.
