Have you never heard the saying ' a dog is for life, not just for Xmas'
Obviously not. This is no way to treat an elderly, sick Basenji who has given you love for so many years. I wouldn't let you have another dog - just to dump it when it became inconvenient ?

“......... I wouldn't let you have another dog - just to dump it when it became inconvenient ?”OMG!! I completely agree - I wouldn’t allow her to have ANY ANIMAL for that matter! An elderly dog especially needs your love and care at this stage in their lives!!! Some people cease to amaze me - how CRUEL!

Kembe - I am finding it hard to get my head around how anyone could have a Basenji for 6 years (4 until 10, as I recall) and then bin it ! It won't get much love or understanding in a rescue home. But maybe it wasn't loved as it deserved anyway. Poor little mite.

It still seems very strange for you to send your dog to a rescue centre. Did you not consider that that your dog will miss you even more than you miss her. If she was very I'll it may have been best for all to consider euthanasia ! I appreciate that you miss your dog but my original comment still stands - when you let a dog into your life you take on the commitment to look after it for ever. Please don't get another pet unless you can make that commitment.
