Story
Meet Bingsu – an exotic name for an equally exotic boy. This 2-year, 8-month-old Basenji is basically a sleek, ancient jungle dog masquerading as a modern pet. He came from a breeder in Texas, and is looking for a very specific kind of home: the kind that says, “Yes, I do want a dog who acts like a cat and outsmarts me on the regular.”
Let’s start with the basics:
🐾 He’s excellent with other dogs – a true gentleman in the canine world.
🐾 He’s a crate champ – happy to hang out in his crate like it’s a VIP lounge.
🐾 He’s not a fan of kids, so a kid-free home is a must.
🐾 He’d do best with a single person or a couple who really gets the Basenji breed.
Now for the fun stuff.
His breed’s characteristics mean:
🧘♂️ He’s independent, aloof, and will 100% pretend he doesn’t need you—until he suddenly does, and then he’s in your space like, “Hi. I exist. Pat me now.”
🎓 He’s highly intelligent but also stubborn, which makes training a hilarious game of mental chess.
🐕💨 He has lots of energy and needs physical and mental stimulation, or he’ll find creative ways to redecorate your home.
🧗 He’s also part escape artist—if your fence has a foothold, he will find it.
Not your average couch potato dog, Bingsu is looking for a home that appreciates his quirky, catlike independence, gives him space when he wants it, and is ready to keep up with his lightning-fast brain and body.
Think of Bingsu as your mysterious, aloof roommate who does parkour in the backyard and sometimes decides you’re worthy of love. 🐕💫
Adopt Bingsu. He’s not for everyone—but he just might be for you. 🐾

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
