I rescued a young Sheltie/Basenji mix many years ago from a Columbus OH shelter for BEAR-Basenji Education and Rescue. She was trouble for the shelter and was kept in a separate area. She loved to lure course and she also would go after balls and bring them back to you! Looked just like a Basenji but with longer fur and her tail was not tightly curled. Dr. Tracy used to joke that we could trim her and get an ILP number from AKC! She found an excellent home.

Getting the gov. involved won't do anything but hurt the legal folks.
Just look at byb who go over the "legal" limit for ownership of animals in their care, or
horders, who don't do even legal mandated care…
Its going to take education and spay/neuter of any animal who leaves a shelter.
It's going to take years...I only hope I see it in my lifetime.
Tegs,
Sorry that it took me a while to reply. I would love to trade pics with you. Everyday that passes, I am reminded of the Basenji Code. She is a bolter, I am happy that we have a storm door to help.
