The ears are really look like he could fly. Very cute. Is this a shelter were they will keep him until they find him a home or what?

Any chance of the shelter vetting him for the worms?

Poor boy. Hope they can get him wormed and that he finds a new home soon too. x

My guess is that this dog is multi-generational mutt.

When I mentioned it, the shelter worker told me that she thought he had been wormed, but would make sure. She also said she would make sure that he got treated for the fleas.
She seemed genuinely concerned, so I believe she will take care of it.

The head shape (if the ears were just a bit smaller) reminds me strongly of AJ's head. It's possible he's B-mix, but very hard to tell. Maybe they can inform the new forever family about the DNA mutt test that was up in a different thread?

The thing with multi-generational mutts is that they tend toward the dog "default" which is the same look that you see in many street dogs and pariah dog, medium size, prick ears, and often tan coloring. Since basenjis are a primitive dog they share these characteristics.
