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.
❤️ Why We Love Him
Basil has captured the hearts of every volunteer who’s met him. He’s the dog who gently puts his head in your lap when you’re having a bad day. The dog who does a little wiggle when you walk in, even if you were gone only 10 minutes. The dog who is endlessly grateful for love, kindness, and consistency.
You can feel Basil’s sweetness the moment you meet him — he’s that special.
Dear Forever Family,
My name is Basil, and I’ve been waiting a long time to meet you.
I don’t know your face yet, but I think about you every day.
I imagine the sound of your footsteps coming down the hall.
I imagine the spot on the couch where I’ll curl up next to you.
I imagine the walks we’ll take, the quiet moments we’ll share, and the home we’ll build together.
I haven’t had it easy, but I’ve tried so hard to be brave. I’m a big guy, but my heart is soft. I do especially well with sweet, gentle girls, but I’ve even made some nice boy dog friends too.
I promise I will give you everything I have.
My loyalty.
My cuddles.
My goofy wiggles when you come home.
My quiet moments where I rest my head in your lap just because it feels safe.
I don’t need much.
A fenced yard would make me so happy.
A calm home where I can relax.
Maybe a friendly dog sibling who won’t mind showing me the ropes.
Mostly, I just need someone who will choose me for the dog I am — a loving, hopeful, gentle soul with so much affection to give.
I’ve been waiting a long time for you.
When you find me, I’ll know.
Love,
Basil
