Basil
Wallingford Animal Control | 5 Pent Rd Wallingford, CT | 203-294-2180
Spayed Female | 1 Years Old | American Bully Mix | Dog Friendly
Found tied to a pole in the middle of the night (who does that?!), this sweet, silly girl is now on the hunt for a human who can keep up with her bouncy, boundless energy and match her love of life. Basil is the full puppy package: goofy, loving, smart, and ready to take on the world; preferably at full speed with her tongue flapping in the wind!
She LOVES people. Like, really loves them. Like, “face kisses while you’re tying your shoes” kind of love. She’s already dreaming of a best friend who will teach her all the good-dog basics (she’s a blank slate! Think of the possibilities!), show her cool tricks, and join her in a lifetime of zoomies, hikes, games, and couch snuggles when the day is done.
She’s played with other dogs but be warned: this gal is a rough-housing, WWE-style playmate. She’d do best with another active dog who enjoys energetic, occasionally chaotic play sessions, and won’t get offended if she accidentally body slams them out of sheer puppy joy.
She should do just fine with kids, but since she’s got all the grace of a toddler wearing roller skates on a trampoline, older, sturdier kids are the best match!
Important Notes from the Puppy Union:
• I require frequent zoomie breaks, daily fun-time, and puzzles, training, or activities to keep my big brain busy.
• Bored puppies make weird choices. Like eating socks. Or your remote. Or inventing a new “interior decorating” style called “Fluff Explosion.”
THE BASICS
Breed/mix: bully type mix
Age guesstimate: approximately 5 months old
Approximate weight/size: she’s currently about 30-35 lbs and obviously still growing like a weed. We estimate she’ll end up at maybe 50-55lbs or so.
Energy level: HIGH! This pup wants to run, she wants to play, she wants to be ON THE MOVE and learning from her people. She will need an active, engaging lifestyle that will continue with her training and offer plenty of mental stimulation as well as the physical exercise.
Special skills: Olympic-level zoomies, full-body wiggle deployment, cuddling with zero regard for personal space, spreading joy one chaotic bounce at a time.
If you’re looking for a partner in crime, a daily dose of hilarity, and a whole lot of love in one floppy-eared, tail-wagging package, Basil might just be your soulmate! Apply today and prepare to fall in love. (And possibly lose a shoe or two in the process.)
