A gentle accent of a pizza topping, Basil is something we often take for granted but can make or break a whole pizza. For example, a margherita pizza wouldn’t be the same without the gentle green leaves on top, and, by extension, your life wouldn’t be the same without the gentle pitter pattering of a brown and white chihuahua cutie. She can be a little shy at first, but when she warms up, this little lady will have you basking in the glow of all the love her tiny heart can contain. The world can be a scary place for such a pint-sized pup, but Basil knows, with you by her side, she can do anything. Why don’t you sprinkle some Basil on your life?

Here’s some notes from her foster :

Meet Basil!

If you’re looking for a sweet little cuddle buddy with lots of love to give, you might just fall in love with Basil! This adorable girl has blossomed in her foster home, and I’ve had so much fun getting to know her sweet personality.

Basil is a total lovebug once she gets comfortable! She loves snuggling up in my lap, giving kisses, and being close to her people. She’s also a curious little girl who enjoys exploring her surroundings once she feels at home. And if you want to win her heart, just bring on the treats and snacks! She thinks they’re pretty wonderful.

Basil has been a great houseguest! She’s done beautifully with my two senior female Chihuahuas and enjoys having other dogs around. She’s potty trained and goes outside to do her business once she’s settled into her surroundings. At bedtime, she loves sleeping at the foot of our bed and is a quiet little dreamer who sleeps right through the night. She’s also done well staying home alone with her canine companions.

Basil can be a little shy when meeting new people or experiencing unfamiliar things, so she’ll need a family willing to give her some time to settle in and build her confidence. Loud noises and quick movements can startle her, so she’d be happiest in a quiet neighborhood and a home without small children.

Watching Basil come out of her shell has been such a joy. She’s gone from a very timid little girl to one who happily snuggles up for affection and hands out kisses. She’s still learning to be brave, but underneath that initial shyness is the most wonderful, loving companion.

I know Basil is going to make someone very happy. If you have a little patience, a cozy lap, and a few treats to share, Basil has all the love in the world to give you in return!
