OMG..he is so cute..what a lovely looking fella..Welcome onboard..

Here's a few pics of another Pug + Basenji mix. He's up for adoption at our local rescue foundation, the Lange Foundation.
He is adorable! And I have to say that I've heard nothing but great things about the Lange Foundation. I hope he finds a home soon!

Yes, I would love to adopt him myself… but I am a first-time dog owner, and I am a little intimidated by the reputation of the Basenji --even though in this case he is 1/2 Pug which has an "easier" reputation.

Are they sure he is a basenji mix or are they just guessing based on the curly tail and erect ears? He looks more like a Chi mix to me. I just found out on Monday the new "hybrid craze" is the "chug" a Chi x Pug.
