My story
**Seeking foster or adopter**Sweet, sweet Basil was found circling the streets of Lincoln as a puppy (literally circling - he spins clockwise). He was neglected, malnourished, and so tiny for a 5 month old puppy. Upon examination, it was quickly discovered Basil had limited vision and that something was "off" neurologically. Brave was asked to help and we said ABSOLUTELY.Basil is a unique pup but he really just wants the same things any dog does: love, play, and treats! Basil has been seen by several vets and the consensus is there are a few "loose connections", likely in his cerebellum (which controls balance). He doesn't need surgery or even medication - he's just Basil! He takes dramatic steps with his paws, does a somersault if he takes a corner too fast, and shows his love to his foster mom and fur siblings by trailing dangerously close behind them. You might notice the goose egg on his head - it has been biopsied to make sure it is not harmful or dangerous. Turns out, it's mostly just tissue - likely from Basil running into something! Due to his clumsiness, we think Basil would do best with older children. He would love a playful and patient doggy sibling, too. Basil wears belly bands when left home alone and he only has poop accidents if he is left alone for 7+ hours. Due to the way he moves, kennels are very constricting and anxiety-inducing for Basil. He started out being gated off in the kitchen but has shown he can be trusted to roam the house when left alone.

He is fostered in a private home in Lincoln. The adoption fee is $150 which covers vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter(when old enough). The adoption fee helps cover the cost of these vetting procedures. Unless the bio is marked adoption pending, s/he is still available for adoption. If you’re interested in adopting this puppy, please submit an inquiry or email BraveAnimalRescue@gmail.com to ask about our adoption process (please check your spam or junk email if you do not hear back from us within a few business days). We are 100% volunteer staffed and will respond to your email as soon as possible. After you have submitted an application and been approved, we will set up a meet and greet between you and the puppy. Preference is given to applicants with a verifiable vetting history, fenced yard, and homeownership. Please be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to learn more about Brave Animal Rescue and our mission. ##936359##
