A friend of ours talked to the woman with the 7 month old female today. The original owner was older, got her from a shelter (as a Jack Russell) and she was just too much energy. The current 'foster' took her to help the original owner, but she has several other dogs, the basenji has already escaped once. She has chickens, etc., and her husband wants her re-homed soon. I saw a (poor quality) photo and she looks pure basenji but has one drop-tipped ear and barks occasionally, she is intact still. No one I know is up for a youngster like this, but we are asking around. If anyone out there is interested,I'll help with transport.
Basenji Mix
-
I have rescued a dog that appears to be a Basenji mix. I already have 3 dogs and they are all older. This puppy wants to play all the time and she is upsetting my other dogs. I want to find her a good home as she seems very smart and gets on well with other dogs and cats. I think she would be a great agility dog because of her energy. I live in Houston, Texas and was hoping someone her could direct me to perhaps a good no kill rescue? Here are some pics.

if you go to www.basenjirescue.org they have a link for possible Basenji mixes, I would say to try them

She's really lovely. hope you find her a home soon...or keep working her hard until she settles down.

@susanlvs2jmp As others have said BRAT is a great resource. You should also keep working with her because Basenjis are extremely intelligent and she will want to bond with YOU as you are the Leader of the Pack. I would not give up on her so soon, she may become a fantastic companion for your other dogs.
Please rethink giving her away!

This pup did find a home through BRAT, and she has moved to MT.
