Basil - the puppy with the missing leg

UPDATE - - BASIL is ready for adoption!  He has completed basic puppy training with flying colors.  He has strengthened his remaining front leg so he doesn't need a wheelchair.  He is eager to move on to the next phase of his life - - a forever home!

9/9/2015 - Basil entered puppy training where they will polish his already loving personality and give him wonderful basic skills.

8/1/2015 - Basil is having difficulty with his remaining front leg.  We believe that he just needs some strength and conditioning to over come it.   In the mean time, he was fitted for a new Front Wheel drive Wheel chair to help support him while he is out playing.

Basil, was found in Spring, Tx with his sister, mom, and Dad in an abandoned home. Basil was the victim of some horrible human who cut of part of Basil's leg. When he was found, we rushed him to the vet, where the remaining portion of his leg had to be removed.

BASIL needs his chance at a loving family.  Will that be you?

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
