I sent Yachtz' information along to Muttville. They are a Bay Area rescue that specializes in senior dogs, and they have a wide network of supporters. Yachtz should at least get a cross-listing with them, if not a foster or adopter!
Does this look like a mix to you?

Looks like a young basenjiXbasenji cross to me. Additionally the little guy has a harness AND a collar on and still escaped; surely someone is looking for him?
-
Its hard to tell his size, but he sure looks like a poorly bred b to me..
But then, I am not the expert..so I brought it to you all.. -
That would be my guess from the pictures, very poorly bred… which would make it look like a mix....

That was my guess as well.

I agree…it is hard to tell..but I would guess purebred, and maybe with an underbite that makes his jaw look a little 'different'.

Good call Andrea….

But many shelters/rescues have an acknowledged habit of listing dogs as mixes if (a) they aren't entirely certain it's a purebred or (b) if it's a breed that can be difficult to place and listing it as a mix may make it more likely to be adopted.
