Wouldn't feel bad about the behavior of your basenji. I got mine six years ago and he acts a lot like yours. I kennel trained him and when I have company he goes in the kennel till he settles down. When I let him out I just tell people to be still till he checks them all out then he is fine. A lot of times he acts like he is going to attack me if he doesn't get his way vicious snarls and all, but I have learned it is just that an act . He also acted vicious around other dogs but after introducing them properly he gets along great. We have recently got him a new basenji mixed sister to play with, after the snarls and viciousness he loves her very much. I wouldn't be afraid to rehome your basenji, it at least give someone a chance to see what they can do.
Walker needed in San Diego (La Mesa)

Hi - I have to go out of town July 22-24 and I need someone to come to my house to take my 8yo out for a walk in the am and pm. She's very sweet, but needs her walks! Normally my roommate does it when I travel, but he'll be out of town too. I have someone else staying with us, so my girl will get fed, I just need someone willing to go for 2 30 minute walks on Tues, Wed, and Thurs (just the morning walk on Thurs). Please let me know what you'd charge. Thank you very much!

Hey Lori,
I can't make it out there those days but I have a friend who has a pet sitting service (Fetch Pet Care - "We've Got Your Tail Covered" ). You can email her at fetchmetro at gmail dot com - she generally covers downtown but she may have someone out that way. She's great with Fiji. -

Yes it is. The first link is to my friend that has the downtown area - looks like the second link is to Inland SD area, and Lisa gives Gina and her partner very high marks.
