“Nobody came looking for Basil… and now he’s the dog everyone scrolls past because of two words — his heart”
Basil came into rescue earlier this year as a stray. During his vet check it was discovered he has a heart condition, but the good news is that since starting medication his latest heart scan shows clear improvement.
He just needs one tablet twice a day, which he takes without any fuss.
Basil is a gentle, affectionate boy who loves people and enjoys the company of other dogs. He likes a couple of short walks each day, walks nicely on the lead, and is happiest snoozing on the sofa with the occasional burst of zoomies.
His eyesight isn’t great so he sometimes bumps into things, and we should warn you he’s a bit of a counter surfer — if food is left out, Basil will assume it’s for him!
He would do best in a home with another dog and someone around most of the day, as he doesn’t like being left alone.
Dogs with a medical note beside their name are often overlooked. But Basil is bright, happy and enjoying life — he just needs someone willing to give him a chance.
