Meet Basilisk! He’s smart, playful, and happiest when he’s with his people. Basilisk is reportedly house trained, knows sit and lay down, and has a fun, puppy-like personality that shines through in everything he does. He rides well in the car, enjoys walks, and loves little things like ice cubes and watching TV by your side.

Basilisk is a cuddly shadow who loves to follow his person around and be part of whatever’s happening. He’s strong, silly, and full of life, with a love for playtime and durable toys. He settles best when near his people and thrives on affection and connection. With structure, patience, and plenty of love, Basilisk will be a loyal, goofy companion who fills every day with fun and warmth.
