Yes to the suggestions to get her checked and also spay her.
Aggression may not necessarily be vicious but rather reaction to the scary situation she encountered. It can be dealt with through consistent and regular training (with treats to start) - you might try the Fenzi Dog Academy online classes (they have a great class for retraining reactive dogs). But regardless you need to be more aware of her surroundings and not put her in a situation that may be scary to her or at least get her attention back on you (treats) when you can't avoid the situation.
Part basenji mom

My boyfriend and I recently rescued a dog that we were pretty sure was an italian greyhound mix. After a while, we figured the rest of the mix (or at least a good part) was basenji. One of our friends clued us in by his forehead wrinkles and noisy yawns. After reading several stories on here, he seems to have several b behaviors. He is a hoot, and has taught me to keep my stuff out of reach!

Welcome AliceB. That cutie certainly has a Basenji looking face. Glad you found the forums.
Thank you for the rescue. Rescue Mom and Dad's have a special place in heaven IMO.
