They are obviously very careful about placing which although from the adopters point of view is frustrating in my opinion is good. Some of our rescue societies in the UK are very strict and some in my opinion, too easy.
GREAT NEWS!!!
The meet and greet went more than awesome, Senji seemed uninterested in the cat once she puffed up once and then she even calmed down around him, this was done in a tiny room at the humane society, so in our home it should be even better.
Senji and Moose bonded instantly, Moose was already trying to get him to play!
The Humane Society was blown away at how awesome it went! I was too!
My old vet lost my records, or the doctor took them home for some reason. I have to wait over the weekend for them to find them and go get Senji once they have my cat's records.
SO, I'm a bit bummed I don't get him this weekend but Senji is definitely on his way to his forever home and you could see how excited he was when we were all hanging out as a family.
I'm more than excited and more than thankful for the support I've received from the community.
Keep an eye out, I love taking pictures of my animals and sharing info I learn.
I might buy a clicker, but I have a quick gentle snap I'm pretty good at when the kitties get into trouble, so I'm gonna try that.
Congratulations…
I am looking forward to hearing all about Senji as he adjusts to his new home 
SENJI IS HOME!
That's all for now, I will be taking pictures and video a bunch in the first few days I do assume.
Wonderful news!
Nice!!!
Looking forward to the pics and video's!!
Big smiles! Can't wait to hear how your new fur family gets along.
SENJI IS HOME!

Hooray 
Congratulations!!!
oh goodie! cant wait to hear more
We've got Senji home and things get better by the hour.
Here's a couple more photos
Here's a classy sleeping position…
He's been great with people, less great with dogs a bit bigger than him, he think's hes some sort of bully and pretty unpredictably gets ferocious… Whats your thought on curbing this behavior?
He's possessive of rawhides and pretty snap aggressive with other dogs, I've been trying to get a hold of him quickly and get his attention from the aggressive activity. Any Basenji specific ideas?
He looks totally content! Congrats on him finding a new home.
He looks like he is making himself at home
I can not remember is he living with another dog or just the kitties?
I would only give high value items like chews when the dogs are separated and can eat in peace. We feed in the crates here…it just makes it easier to avoid potential trouble that way. So I would not allow rawhides to be available if there are other dogs around 
You can try to do some training and desensitization to see if you can get him to be less dog reactive...bear in mind though that some dogs are just not good with other dogs. Basenjis seem to like some dogs and take instant dislike to others... Don't make him meet other dogs if he is showing signs of getting snarky. He may do better with females by the way
He's got a mini dachshund living with him, they get along pretty good, Moose feels like the little man out when I'm playing tug o war with Senji, but Moose has no actual desire to play tug of war so he's just jealous.
Senji gets a few seconds in to the sniffing process and then snaps into aggression, he is a lot better if they can have that moment and then go play. But not many people let their dog come play after that.
Yeah, they can be snarky… I always watch Watson and any dog we meet with eagle eyes. He is okay as long as the other dog is a polite dog. He is a very polite greeter himself.
Sadly Senji is not so far

My Perry is like that. His idea of "greeting" is to try to nip (or bite!) the other dog in the face! If you can get past that initial reaction, and if the other party is female, then things are fine. He met his match in my girlfriend's Jack Russell bitch, who put him in his place in 10 seconds flat. But mostly we don't see a lot of other dogs, and I have no plans to take him to dog parks and the like, so it is a non issue for me, other than to pay attention when we are out walking.
If I needed him to be more social, I would take the time to try to sort this out, but there aren't a lot of opportunities to interact with other dogs where I live.
I live in an extremely dog friendly apartment complex. Senji has plenty of time to meet other dogs and I do feel he's getting better slowly, as I catch him before he goes into a full dominance stance and get him to calm down and just look at the other dog and see he's not threatening him.
Senji is a big Basenji at 27 pounds and he thinks he's alpha a lot.
I'm trying to use positive reinforcement when he's good and just leaving the situation when he's bad. He's starting to learn he only gets the opportunity to go meet other dogs when he stays calm on the way over.
Does he do this to all dogs or just dogs who charge up to him?

LOL which would mean that the other dogs are in "his" space….. and he has every right to protect "his" space. At least IMO
None of the dogs he does it do display to me any aggression. They sit there as Senji walks up to him, they start sniffing, Senji's mohawk raises and then he growls a tiny growl and then raises up and then both dogs are pissed.
He gets a lot better quickly if they can work it out a little bit. Then Senji acts like the better dog, except his throat bites, I know they are play bites, but nobody likes my dog playing like he's trying to kill their dog.
