Basil's Story

Hi humans! My name is Basil and I am sweet boy with a very shy exterior. I am extremely timid around strangers and will need a family with experience working with shy dogs. However, after I warm up to new people I am very loving and goofy. I like to run around and play tug with my brother, Sesame, and I sit very well for treats. I play with my squeaker toys and chew my bones and LOVE yogurt stuffed kongs. I'd love a home where someone can work with me to open up and let my true playful spirit shine! Please put in an application if I sound like boy for you. <br/><br/>I am up-to-date on vaccines, neutered, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm negative.<br/>The cost to adopt is $250 and the adoption process begins with an Adoption Application that is located at: www.faithfulfriendsnc.org/adopt<br/>Once your completed application has been reviewed the humans will contact you with questions and/or set an appointment for you to meet me. Thank you! Please read all guidelines before sending in an application. Do not reach out to the sanctuary about the status of your application, we will contact you if we are interested in setting up an appointment.
