@rjbasenji - this is the time to align with a responsible breeder for a pup maybe in 2021. Because Basenjis only come in season once a year and their litter size is only 4-6 puppies, it is difficult to find one especially will all the people that "want" one... If you can visit with a breeder that would help you or if not call them on the phone and tell them why you think that a Basenji would be a good fit for your family/lifestyle.
Looking for young male Basenji in or near Florida

The best dog I ever had was a Basenji and I always said I wanted another after my four kids were older. The kids are much older now (ages 13-21) but their college tuition is draining my finances (can't afford an $1000-1800 Basenji puppy). If you/anyone you know (reputable/southeast region) has a young Basenji needing a home, please let me know. I'll keep checking BRAT in the meantime. Thank you!

Responsible breeders have a Facebook page for adopting older Bs, those that maybe didn't make the show circuit or throw the best pups. You might join that group and request to adopt. I had to travel for mine but there may be one in the FL area... can't hurt.

I am in Jax and have a 5 month old male Besenji. Great dog, but I have 2 other dogs and my son bought Melo at college and brought him home with him. Let me know if interested.

@michaell Since it is your son's dog, I wonder where he got the dog. If from a responsible breeder, they almost always have contracts requiring returning the dog to them.
-
@debradownsouth He did not buy from a breeder
