Where did Nala come from? Can she stay there while you're out of town?
I did not have a good experience with Rover.com. Don't do it.
Can you find and make friends with another basenji owner in your area where you can take turns pet sitting? Maybe you can find local basenji owners on Meetup or Facebook?
My heart would break to leave her at a boarding facility or a vet although she'd probably be fine. I like the idea of a pet sitter staying at your home ONLY IF you can really train the pet sitter on several visits before leaving in August (not far away!!!)
Is my dog a Basenji?
-
Whatever he is, he is adorable, and I am sure he will make a wonderful companion.

He looks like a chihuahua to me
He is cute!I was thinking Chihuahua , too. I Googled Chihuahua and this site has a wide range of Chihuahuas of varying quality. Scroll down to the third picture. Similar in many ways.

LOL Robyn, I see more chihuahua too.

My first thought was chiuauaha, he has a bit of a domed forhead, i can also see Basenji and he sounds like he has some traits. A Basenji has two pads joined at the bottom on each foot.
Great that you have rescued him and i look foward to hearing all about him. -
he's rather big for a chiuauha though
If you see Chis that are actually from Mexico, they are a lot bigger than what you see here in the US. They vary A LOT!

Does he have a doggie smell?
-
Hard to tell - but whatever I'm sure you love him. My first thought was Corgi because of the ears. See what develops- how old is he? Welcome to the forum.

Corweenie! (Corgi x chihuahua)
Whatever he is, more pictures!

The question about the doggy smell is a good one - basenjis do not smell like dogs. If you stick your face right into their fur the comparison is like sticking your face into a nice clean healthy cat - warm and not really a discernable smell. Except their feet. Their feet smell like Fritos sort of.
