Basil

About This Dog for Adoption

Basil's ideal home

Basil is looking for a physically and mentally stimulating home, with adopters who have the time to provide him with the training and attention he needs. He can live with children aged 12 and over who are comfortable with a bouncy, playful dog and will play with him nicely and give him space to relax and rest when needed. Basil can be a little unsure around other dogs so is looking to be the only pet in the home, he would benefit from friendly walking buddies to help him gain confidence in socialising with other dogs. He has a little training under his belt, he does a lovely “sit”, he is a busy boy but is eager to learn new things in short, sweet sessions if a tasty treat is on offer. He will need a refresher on his housetraining in his new home so access to a private, secure garden is needed. Basil could be left for up to 2-4 hours, this must be built up slowly once he has had time to get used to his new home and routine and would ideally be after a walk so he can relax and have a snooze! Basil will need to meet his adopters a few times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

Could you be Basil's perfect match?

Fun little lad Basil is a Staffy cross Jack Russell Terrier who loves his walks and is very excited and must sniff everything when out exploring the world. He LOVES chasing toys, especially a lure toy, he will chase round and round and once he has caught it, he will play a great game of tuggy with it. He is a foodie boy and will happily take anything you have to give, he does try his best to sit patiently and wait for it. This great little pocket rocket can’t wait to start a new life with his new family.
