Where did Nala come from? Can she stay there while you're out of town?
I did not have a good experience with Rover.com. Don't do it.
Can you find and make friends with another basenji owner in your area where you can take turns pet sitting? Maybe you can find local basenji owners on Meetup or Facebook?
My heart would break to leave her at a boarding facility or a vet although she'd probably be fine. I like the idea of a pet sitter staying at your home ONLY IF you can really train the pet sitter on several visits before leaving in August (not far away!!!)
Rambo! The basenji mix

I haven't posted on here in a while so I figured it was time for some photo updates! Still unsure of what he's mixed with, but I've been stopped numerous times while walking him to be asked if he is a Basenji, which i'm confident is his primary breed. As for his age, the shelter estimated a little over 2 years old when I got him back in July of 2018. He seems to have grown since then, though, which makes me think he is younger than that, but who knows! He's a great pup and loves his new home.

If someone can look at those pictures and not break out in a smile, something is very wrong with them. Oh my goodness is he Mr Personality or what! Thank you for updating with such great photos.

I also think he looks/acts younger than 2 1/2 but who knows. LOL Looks like everyone is having a lot of fun. He's a cutie!

Hey okay so this is wild but I figured I wanted to reach out! So I rescued my pup and his siblings from Puerto Rico after hurricane Maria and we have always wondered his breed. We know his mom is a chihuahua mix but it wasn’t until today that I realized he might be mixed with Basenji. I came across your post because we were trying to see if Basenji’s were even in PR. Do you know what city your little guy was picked up in?
