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.
Does this look like a mix to you?

Looks like a young basenjiXbasenji cross to me. Additionally the little guy has a harness AND a collar on and still escaped; surely someone is looking for him?

Its hard to tell his size, but he sure looks like a poorly bred b to me..
But then, I am not the expert..so I brought it to you all.. -
That would be my guess from the pictures, very poorly bred… which would make it look like a mix....

That was my guess as well.

I agree…it is hard to tell..but I would guess purebred, and maybe with an underbite that makes his jaw look a little 'different'.

Good call Andrea….

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.
