So I went to the Downey, CA animal shelter, and lo and behold there's a black and white female basenji sitting there. She was brought into the shelter with tags that said "Lady" on them on July 13. She's about a year old, and is a bit long and stubby but is otherwise basenji-looking (corgi mix? Just sort of weird?). I adopted her out of the shelter today and will (depending on how Yoshi feels–right now he's not thrilled) get her a good home. I've already been in touch with Karen of Medfly Basenji Rescue (who's wonderful, by the way), so she's not going to have anything bad happen to her. I just wanted to make sure that "Lady" can get to her rightful owner if possible. Her ears and teeth are very well cared for. She'd been in the shelter for a month...
If anyone knows anything, let me know.
(Obviously, I checked Craigslist and Pet Harbor. Anywhere else I should know about?)
