Kent - My New Rescue Pup!!!


  • Very sweet looking little dog. Glad you found each other! Not sure what the mix could be, but his legs look shorter than an average Basenji, so that might be a clue…


  • I can't believe someone put him down a garbage chute!! He is a cute little fellow. Looks happy too. Congrats on your rescue.

  • First Basenji's

    I'd say he's mixed with a generous proportion of CUTE.

    Congrats on such a sweet find. You both got very lucky in finding each other.

    Were they able to catch the despicable person who put him down a garbage chute? No matter his past, he's in good hands now. Welcome to the forum!

    It was probably Jack Nicholson. ;) ("As Good As It Gets")


  • hahah thanks everyone. He is definately a character but as sweet as pie. I will post some more pictures with a better camera tonight!

    I hope they found whoever put him in the garbage! Thankfully the amazing rescue centre up here took him under their wing or I wouldnt have this amazing little man in my life! It's been 3 days and he has already stolen my heart and my energy. haha It takes a lot to keep up with him but he is so well behaved already. I am just waiting for him to get more adjusted so I can see the true Basenji come out!! hahah


  • Congratulations obn giving Kent a good home and he's so sweet.

    So sweet..Thaak you so much for opening your arms and home to this little charm troll of a pup. He will have you wrapped around his paw in no-time..:)


  • aww, he's so cute.


  • It's sad that someone would treat such a handsome boy like garbage, but at least we know he's in a much better home now. :)

    He will grow up to appreciate the change of life.


  • Kent is adorable :D


  • Lucky pup to wind up with you. He really is cute.

    I totally agree! Thank you for saving this little doll! I look forward to the impish stories! :):D:)


  • Thanks again everyone. I am so head over heels for him. I now think that he may had a tad bit of putbull in him. Not much but the straight long tail and huge paws might be my answer. Either way he is such a sweetheart. I took him on a hike and I was brave enough to let him off the leash for a while and he didnt leave my side. He even got his feet wet in the creek. He is already sitting and laying down on command and eating bones on his mat. I adore him! I have wanted a Basenji for a very long time so it feels great to have rescued one on top of everything. He is a true gem! Can't wait to share all my stories and hear yours as well!


  • Congrats on your new pup..he's a cutie!


  • Those ears are adorable! Thanks for taking him in. Our rescue Kell has brought a lot of joy into our lives.


  • He is sooooo cute!


  • Rescue dogs ROCK!

    Dr Jo, I was not suggesting just adding african dogs. Although the Maine Coon people pretty much allowed ANY cat to be bred in when they opened their registry. But yeah, lets move this to another thread.

    @hdolbow: LOL ! of courseeee!!!! when doesn't rocky make those devil noises!? i really think he is a little demon. lol One of these days I am going to have to tape the sounds she makes. It cracks me up! A little scary for other people, my mother-in-law was scared of her the first time she did it. Anymore I just tell her no and knock it off and she normally does!

    Great looking dog in some good looking threads! I have yet to successfully get Hollie to wear clothing. I am seriously considering a raincoat and booties. Cleaning and drying her gets tiresome.
