Please go to Basenjirescue.org and join as a member. It will show you are serious about helping. BRAT always needs good foster homes. A home visit will be required (not sure if that is possible at this time considering this COVID-19 crisis). It is especially helpful if you have basenji experience. Not always, but very often, a basenji coming into rescue has special needs (i.e., behavioral, medical, etc.). It is good to ask yourself if you and your family are willing to deal with that. Fostering is hard but it can also be a wonderful and rewarding thing to do.
Basenji?

Could this be a Basenji? He is listed as a Rat Terrier mix by the Richland County shelter in Mansfield, OH.
Here is his Petfinder page:

Here is a You Tube video of him:

kind of looks like a B to me

Most likely Rat, could be Rat/Basenji? Or Rat Terrier/Toy Fox Terrier

If I am not mistaken, short legs are a dominant trait and if one parent has this trait, the offspring will also. Those ears didn't come from a Basenji either. I think this guy is a Teddy Roosevelt Terrier with an undocked tail.

Maybe a Decker Rat Terrier? They are larger and look very basenji.

He did look like he had short legs but I thought his body was long for a Rat Terrier. I am so used to them having a docked tail and much more white on the body. I thought he may be a poorly bred Basenji. Mansfield is not too far away from the Amish area. I wonder if he barks much!
