Please go to Basenjirescue.org and join as a member. It will show you are serious about helping. BRAT always needs good foster homes. A home visit will be required (not sure if that is possible at this time considering this COVID-19 crisis). It is especially helpful if you have basenji experience. Not always, but very often, a basenji coming into rescue has special needs (i.e., behavioral, medical, etc.). It is good to ask yourself if you and your family are willing to deal with that. Fostering is hard but it can also be a wonderful and rewarding thing to do.
OH-Marysville-2 Young Male Basenji Mixes-In Shelter
-
The shelter is located approximately 30 miles northwest of Columbus, OH and 60 miles from Dayton, OH.
I e-mailed the shelter regarding this boy as I could not tell his size from the pictures. Here is what the shelter had to say about him: "As far as Shotzy goes, he is still available. He is about one year old and weighs 42#. He doesn't really bark much that I've seen, he's not known as one of our big barkers."
Here is his Petfinder page:

"The funny thing is that there is Shotzy and there is a puppy named Marco that looks pretty much just like Shotzy excpet in minature size." He looks like a dark brindle and looks more like a B mix than Shotzy but is listed as a Rat Terrier. He is a cutie!

Please contact the shelter if you are interested. The e-mail address is incorrect on the Petfinder page. If you go to the shelter's webpage, you will find the correct one.
I may be able to help with transport as I am near Dayton, OH.
