Hi, I'm Basil, I’m adopted!
Chihuahua Min Pin | Young | Female | Small
About Me
Basil was adopted August 24, 2025.
Searching for my best friend! Basil is a 3 yo, 9lb tri color chi or min pin mix. She loves her family and will greet you with lots of kisses! You can generally find her sleeping in your lap or cuddled next to you in a blanket. Basil barks at strangers but warms up after a few minutes. She enjoys walking on a leash. She loves destuffing a toy or a gentle game of tug. She coexists well with her foster family’s dogs but really wants to be your primary best friend. She will occasionally guard treats or treasured toys with dog friends.
Basil could live with adults or a family with older children. Because she bonds strongly with her family and can be barky with strangers, she might not do as well in an apartment, unless someone is frequently home.
