Basil

A curious snuggle-bug, Basil would be a great addition to the right family. She likes to explore her surroundings, sniffing everything to make sure it’s fit for her to play in. Once she’s done investigating and getting some exercise, she is happy to settle in for a snuggle and a nap. Petting and cuddling with Basil are great ways to earn her affection. She is about a year and a half old and weighs 58 pounds. Email adopt.macc@nashville.gov
