Basil

Meet Basil, a 12-month-old Border Collie with a heart full of enthusiasm and a brain brimming with intelligence.

This smart boy has the energy and curiosity that characterizes his breed, making him an ideal companion for someone who can provide him with the mental and physical stimulation he craves. Whether you're looking to give him a job or engage in intensive training, Basil is more than up for the challenge and will thrive in an environment where he can put his skills to good use.

Basil is a spirited soul who is still learning his manners. His zest for life can sometimes result in exuberant behaviors like jumping, which might surprise his human friends and could potentially trip them over.

Because of this, he would benefit from someone who can dedicate time to consistent training and provide him with firm guidance. Despite his pickiness with dog friends, Basil's social interactions with humans are filled with love and a touch of whimsical charm. He also has a keen interest in gardening, though it's fair to say he has his own unique take on plant and lawn arrangement!

Basil would be happiest in a home where his new family is present during the day or can include him in their activities. His intelligence and energy make him not just a pet but a genuine companion who is eager to be by your side, whether you're working from home, running errands, or exploring new places. With the right training and a lot of love, Basil has the potential to become an incredibly loyal and rewarding friend.

If you’re looking for a smart, high-energy, and devoted dog who will challenge you to keep up with him and reward you with endless affection, Basil could be the perfect match for you. He's ready to embark on a new adventure with a family who understands his needs and will appreciate his unique, spirited personality.

While Basil is looking for his new family, he is for now remaining in his current home to reduce stress and anxiety by moving him into our rehoming facility.
