Basil came in as a stray on 1/13/26 and is estimated to be about 5 years old. He is a cheerful, always-smiling guy with classic beagle charm and curiosity. If there’s a scent in the air, Basil is already on the case.
Basil is delightfully easy to distract—his nose tends to lead the way, and every smell feels like an important discovery. He has a very strong appreciation for hot dogs, and while they hold his full attention, once they’re gone he’s happily off to investigate whatever catches his interest next. His happy-go-lucky nature makes him endlessly entertaining.
Basil is ready to find a home that enjoys a dog with personality, curiosity, and a love for life’s little (and tasty) distractions.
Basil is available for adoption at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH
Phone: 419-774-5892
Adoptions are completed through an application process. You can request an application via dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov
