About Basil the Greyhound
If you are interested in Basil, or any of our Greyhounds, we require you to fill in our application form - https://forms.gle/kpSn4PdsS2Uc7gDt6
Meet Basil the Greyhound, a lovable and playful pup with a zest for life that's truly infectious. With his charming personality and goofy antics, Basil is always ready to brighten your day with cuddles and kisses. While he can adapt to apartment living, he certainly relishes the opportunity to stretch his legs and enjoy a good run around a garden. Whether living as a solo dog or with a furry friend, Basil is incredibly adaptable and finds joy in both scenarios.
Basil thrives in the company of others, whether it's people or pets. He plays well with smaller dogs and is comfortable around larger breeds too. While he enjoys companionship, Basil can learn to spend time alone when entertained with long-lasting treats, thanks to his strong food motivation. He also gets along amicably with cats, making him a versatile addition to pet-friendly households. Basil has excellent lead manners and is accustomed to busy city environments; he’s a confident walker who does well in various settings.
While Basil is a delightful companion, he would do best in a home with older children due to his jumpy nature. Fortunately, he doesn’t exhibit resource guarding or sleep-startle issues, and he signals with a visit to the back door when it's time for a restroom break. Despite his puppy-like energy, novice or experienced dog owners willing to invest in his training will find a loyal and loving companion in Basil. Though he sometimes needs a little encouragement to settle at night, his foster family cherishes his playful spirit and the boundless affection he eagerly bestows on everyone, including his foster siblings and their humans.
If you're looking for a big-hearted goofball who will fill your home with fun, love, and laughter, Basil the Greyhound is ready to join your family and make cherished memories together.
At Homeward Bound Hounds, we pride ourselves on matching the right dog to the right family. We need to know more about you and your home to find the best possible match.
