Meet Basil – a Patterdale cross who loves to play and keep active.

The six-year-old enjoys any activity that keeps his brain stimulated and his paws on the go.

Whether he is participating in fun training or sniffing around with scent games, he will be having a good time!

Basil is hoping to find a family who enjoy the quiet life just as much as he does, and is hoping for a home away from the hustle and bustle so he can live in peaceful serenity.

While Basil can be friendly and playful with dogs, he would prefer quieter walking areas, away from busy traffic.

He would be best suited to being the only pet in the home but will benefit from building up his social skills with a regular canine companion to go for walks with.

Basil adores the company of his humans but can be worried by strangers, especially men.

Although he can be very people orientated and loves spending time with his favourite people, initially building up a bond and gaining his friendship will take a little bit of patience.

The wait will certainly be worth it though, as Dogs Trust Shoreham say he is a super sweet boy who becomes more affectionate over time, meaning there is ‘always more love to look forward to’.

Basil will be best suited to a home with adult-only people pals and will need to live with a minimum of two family members, so that there is always someone nearby to keep him company.

His dream come true would be to lead a peaceful lifestyle, with his own private garden to call his own.
