Looking for a Basenji to rescue(can be mix breed)

Basenji Rescue
  • Hi. Not sure if this is the right place to post but my family and I are looking to rescue a basenji. My husband grew up with these dogs and we recently found one we liked but due to circumstances out of our hands were unable to adopt her. We are in Eastern New Mexico(West Texas Panhandle area). My hubby would like a female and we have two young children.
    Thanks

  • Have you had any success with finding out any rescue/adoption information? I am in a similar situation.

    We rescued our current B from Medfly - just north of LA. Karen at Medfly was wonderful to work with and we love our little girl!

    I rescued a young Sheltie/Basenji mix many years ago from a Columbus OH shelter for BEAR-Basenji Education and Rescue. She was trouble for the shelter and was kept in a separate area. She loved to lure course and she also would go after balls and bring them back to you! Looked just like a Basenji but with longer fur and her tail was not tightly curled. Dr. Tracy used to joke that we could trim her and get an ILP number from AKC! She found an excellent home. Jennifer

    No matter what size bed you have, the dogs always seem to end up with 3/4 of it!

    Tegs, Sorry that it took me a while to reply. I would love to trade pics with you. Everyday that passes, I am reminded of the Basenji Code. She is a bolter, I am happy that we have a storm door to help.
  • Does this look like a mix to you?

    But many shelters/rescues have an acknowledged habit of listing dogs as mixes if (a) they aren't entirely certain it's a purebred or (b) if it's a breed that can be difficult to place and listing it as a mix may make it more likely to be adopted.
