Scooby is a 9-month-old, 38-lb Basenji-small Shepherd mix with the perfect balance of playful energy and affectionate companionship. With a moderate energy level (around a 3 indoors and up to a 7 when it’s time to play), Scooby loves to be active but also knows how to settle in for cuddles and quiet time with his people. This handsome boy is incredibly devoted and forms strong bonds with the people he loves. He’s happiest close to his person, whether that means soaking up belly rubs, nudging you with his nose for attention, or curling up beside you for snuggles. Scooby is affectionate, loyal, and naturally watchful over his family in the sweetest way. Scooby already knows basic commands including sit, down, and wait, and he enjoys learning new things, making him a great candidate for continued training. He’s smart, eager to please, and very responsive. Outdoors, his athletic side shines—he’s fast, agile, and loves to play fetch, chase toys, and stretch out in the sunshine. He especially enjoys playing with larger dogs and would likely enjoy a canine companion with a similar play style. One of Scooby’s especially nice qualities is his calm nature during storms, something many families appreciate. While he enjoys activity and playtime, he also values comfort, affection, and simply being near his people. Scooby would thrive in a home that can provide regular exercise, plenty of playtime, frequent potty breaks, and owners who are home much of the time. He’s looking for a forever family that wants both an adventure buddy and a devoted cuddle companion. If you’re searching for a young dog who is loving, loyal, intelligent, and ready to become someone’s best friend, Scooby may be your perfect match. ❤️ To set up an adoption meeting with Scooby please complete our application on the website below then TEXT SARA: 214-549-9905 So I can check your application and get back to you! .dashdog General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city.

Basenji

A.K.A.: Congo Dog, African Barkless Dog, Zande Dog, Bush Dog, Ango Angari, "The Forest Dweller", "The Leaping Dog", Basset Hound, The Barkless Dog, Nyam Nyam Dog, Egyptian Sheep Dog, Khufu Dog, "King Tut's Dog", "The Pharaoh's Dog", "African Bush Hound", "African Forest Dog", "Congo Terrier", "Basenji Terrier", "Basenji Hound", "Central African Barkless Dog", "Equatorial Barkless Dog", "M'bwa m'kubwa", "Mbwa M'kubwa wa Kongo", "The Dog of the Pygmies", "The Dog of the Pharoahs"
Overview:

The Basenji, often called the "barkless dog," is a fascinating breed originating from Central Africa, where it was historically used for hunting. Physically, they are medium-sized, graceful dogs with a distinctive short, fine coat that comes in various colors, often with white markings on the chest, feet, and tail tip. Their most recognizable features include a wrinkled forehead, alert pricked ears, and a tightly curled tail. Temperamentally, Basenjis are known for being intelligent, independent, and sometimes aloof, exhibiting a cat-like fastidiousness. They can be good companions for active families or individuals but require consistent training and socialization due to their high prey drive and independent nature. While generally suitable for apartment living if adequately exercised, their energy levels demand regular walks and mental stimulation. Health-wise, Basenjis are typically robust, but responsible breeders screen for conditions like Fanconi Syndrome and Progressive Retinal Atrophy.
