Baskin is a loving, playful boy who is showing us just how lovely life can be when he feels safe and understood. Although the busy refuge environment can be overwhelming for him, Baskin has absolutely blossomed in foster care. His carers describe him as a wonderful companion who has slotted beautifully into family life. He loves playing ball, relaxing at home and getting involved in whatever his people are doing. Baskin is looking for a calm home with a secure yard and a family who will continue building his confidence through positive, reward-based training. He enjoys his walks but is happiest exploring quieter areas where he has plenty of space to sniff and take in the world without becoming overwhelmed. He will need to be the only animal at home and would love a family with teenagers 13+ who can join in his games and training. With thoughtful management and a family willing to work at his pace, Baskin has every opportunity to be a wonderful, fun and affectionate companion Is Baskin right for your home?
