Pit Bull Terrier and Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Los Gatos, California

Meet Basil! This sweet 10 w/o LUV is a unique blend of Shepherd x Pittie x Cattle dog x Husky (and maybe some lab or hound?). Basil is a whole different kind of magic. He's a sensitive soul. The most gentle, velvety baby land seal you'll ever meet. He may be the shyest of his siblings at first, but once he's comfortable? He's all snuggles and kisses. Basil has that soul-level kind of devoted LUV. He doesn't need the whole world. He just needs his people.

And when he finds them? He'll be the softest, most faithful presence you've ever known. The kind of pup who creeps into your lap like he belongs there — because he does. The kind who looks up at you with those deep, dark eyes and makes you wonder how you ever lived without him. He's not the loudest in the room. He's better than that. He's the one you remember.

Basil is a playful cuddle bug who will thrive with a family that gives him patience, warmth, and a cozy spot to call his own. He's wired for deep connection — smart, gentle, and the kind of loyal that gets better every single day. Whether it's a hike through the hills or a slow Sunday on the couch, Basil will be right there beside you, living his best life as your devoted shadow and very best furiend.

We don't know what his mom and dad look like. Whatever the mix, it made something extraordinary. There's something magical about Rez pups that's hard to put into words. A quiet resilience. A grateful sweetness. A spirit that makes you feel like your souls were destined to find each other. Once you meet them, you'll never forget them.

Basil isn't just a puppy you adopt. He's the kind of LUV that quietly changes you. 🤍
