Story
Meet Dashiell — “Dash” to his friends!Dash is a 2-year-old, 21-pound Basenji mix who’s equal parts energetic adventurer and affectionate lap dog. He’s easy-going, fine being left alone during the day, and happiest when he’s running, exploring, or snuggling with his people.&#226&#173&#144 Temperament & TrainingDash is house-trained, eager to please, and responds wonderfully to positive reinforcement. He walks daily and is improving with leash manners—especially around other dogs. He’s still young and learning but makes progress quickly.&#226&#173&#144 Living With DashDogs: Yes. He enjoys other dogs but may guard high-value chews.Cats: Unsure—may chase a running cat.Kids: Best with older children.Crate: Not crate trained but settles fine when left alone.Exercise: High! Needs daily activity and an active family.Home Type: Has done well in a townhouse but needs plenty of exercise. Loves to run and has great off-leash recall.&#226&#173&#144 Quirks & HabitsDash may steal unattended food or chew things when under-exercised, but he loves appropriate chew toys and happily surrenders them to people. He’s also a big sunbather and entertains himself by tossing toys in the air.&#226&#173&#144 Why You’ll Love HimDash is the perfect small adventure buddy—always ready to hike, run, or travel, then curl up for cuddles afterward. Sweet, playful, and full of heart, he’s truly a delight.If you’re looking for a fun, high-energy companion, Dash might be your perfect match. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Story
Zagjhe is a 5 year old Basenji/Rat Terrier/?? mix and she is absolutely adorable but chuck full of anxiety that mixes with fear and turns into a reactive dog. We inherited her when my brother passed away and we've had her since January 2022. At the time he was a long haul trucker and we already had 3 dogs at home and she became our 4th. We believe she may not have had proper socialization due to my brothers career. We managed her reactivity for several years with medication but she refused to continue taking it leaving her explosive with my other dogs. We recently went through a month long training, including a 2 week board and train. She does better but she's still not good with the other dogs in the home. She needs an active, adult only home. She LOVES to play with a ball and frisbee and go hiking. She's a wonderful companion but she needs her own space.
