Facility Dog
Meet Basil
Basil began her training with Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester Hills, MI. During her training, it was determined that she would be best suited in a different career, which led her to the Canine Advocates Program. Dogs from Canine Advocates are intelligent, sweet, loving, and bring an overall sense of comfort to others.
Basil became a member of Midland CAC staff in February 2026. While she is currently finishing up her training, she spends her days in the Center familiarizing herself to her pawffice, getting to know her co-workers, and practicing her commands in the new space! Once she is ready, her role will be to greet visitors when they arrive to the center and provide gentle comfort during appointments.
