I'm sure this has already been forwarded to basenjirescue.org but I sent it again just in case as well as posted this on their Facebook page. Hopefully someone can help this guy out. I can help with transport if needed. 🙂
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.
