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 Trindle Female B-In Shelter

She is listed as a Bull Terrier but her head shape is more of a Basenji. Someone from Bull Terrier rescue is looking at her today. She was also pregnant and recently nursing. She is at the Miami-Dade Animal Services.
Let me know what you think! Is there anyone in the Miami area that could take a look at her?
Here is her Petharbor page:

She looks BT, not Basenji. hope BT rescue takes her.

Perhaps she is a cross between a Miniature BT and a Regular BT. I have never seen a shelter have as many BTs as Miami does. The rescue tries to get as many out as possible but it is extremely full. I think the last two are going to another rescue. It seems like there are too many BYBs of BTs or too many in pet stores in that area . I would think the BT community would work on getting potential buyers to buy from reputable breeders since so many come into the shelter.

Here is a video of her: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=513435068672896 Her tail is just a wagging and she is a happy girl!
I was told she gets along with other dogs. If you know of a rescue in FL that could take her, please contact the shelter. Here is her Facebook photo link and there is a comment that someone could help with a hold and pull. If the link does not work she is posted on the Urgent Dogs of Miami Facebook Page and her photo is under the Urgent Boxers/Bulldogs/BullTerriers at MDAS.

The video wasn't very helpful until the end. I paused it at 1:35 to see her head in profile and I think she's a (badly bred) Miniature Bull Terrier.

I am surprised that BT Rescue in FL does not have any potential adopter(s) interested in a young female! I am glad I do not live close as I would want to bring her home although looks too active for my older Bs.
