I would take her in a heartbeat if I had room.. unfortunately I'm pushing my limits with my father already, as I've saved a few cats while living with him again. She sounds like a wonderful dog. I have no doubt that the bites were provoked. Dogs, especially Basenjis, can be very sensitive. If you don't understand that you're dealing with an animal that has feelings too, you're in trouble. I will keep her in my prayers. May she find the best fur-ever home!
FL-Miami-Possible PB Tri Male in Shelter-Found as Stray
-
I cannot tell from the picture if he is a Basenji or a Rat Terrier which he is listed as. On Facebook it lists him as a stray and approximately two years old and weighs 22 lbs. He was found yesterday. I have inquired on Facebook to see if he has a tail and am waiting a response. He is at the Miami-Dade County Shelter which is high kill. He is presently on stray hold. Is there anyone nearby that can go see him in person to determine if he may be a Basenji?
I searched on a couple of websites for lost dogs but could not find anything matching his description. Does anyone know of someone missing a lost dog in that area?
Here is his PetHarbor page:

Really looks basenji to me.

I agree with Anne

I agree too, the coloring is too Basenji, when a Rat T. is more than one color, the markings are not so distinct as in the pic. wish there was a body shot. Hope he gets a new home soon too. How far a drive is it Anne??? kidding

I sent the information to BRAT as I asked questions about him several days ago and received no answer. I hope there is someone with BRAT that lives nearby that could go and see him. Is BRAT's e-mail address of where to send dogs in need, brat-admin@lists.basenjirescue.org?

Any news on this guy yet? I've posted this on the BRAT Facebook page for some additional exposure.

He has a docked tail and white on the back part of his body. He sure does look Basenji from the front! He has lost weight in the shelter-now weighs 16 lbs. He is still a good looking boy! Available for adoption today.
Here is his new picture:
