I'm not a big fan of this guy's name, but he's sure a cuddly, playful guy! I didn't know what a Basenji was - so I did some research :) Hope it generates some interest in this lil' one!
Hakuna Matata! This is my motto and means "There are no worries" in Swahili. Around Denver, there sure seem to be a lot of busy, worried people and I hope to put them at ease with my gentle, fun personality. Petting my soft fur with my wet nose nuzzling your lap would help any relax! Adopting me will be way less stressful than adopting one of those overly-energetic, get-into-everything little puppies I see around here. I already know basic obedience commands, am good with other dogs and am even good around kids! And, the icing on the cake is that us Basenji don't shed! Woah, baby! What are you waiting for?!? The MaxFund folks said I must mention that I'm not much of a cat-kinda guy - so I'd like a home without any cats.
Do you need a little Hakuna Matata in your life? If so, please come meet me! I'll be better than yoga and meditation for your inner sense of peacefulness.
Jambo! That means "Hello!" in Swahili. I'm Calf, a 6 1/2 year-young Basenji who has no idea how I got my name!?! While my name origins are unclear, I do know that my Basenji ancestors originated in central Africa and are considered one of the most ancient dog breeds (there are cave paintings featuring Basenji from 6000 BC!) You say you haven't ever heard of a breed called Basenji? Well, then...let me educate you! In the U.S.A., we Basenji are grouped in with the "Hounds". We are relatively small (I'm 33 lbs), elegant, short-haired dogs with erect ears, a tightly curled tail and a graceful, regal neck. Yep...that about sums up my handsome appearance! And, what about the Basenji temperament? We're affectionate, energetic, athletic, playful and curious. We form strong bonds with people and become very emotionally attached to humans. For this reason, it was especially tough when my previous owner lost his home. Lucky for me, he brought me to MaxFund where I'm safe and sound until I find another human(s) to bond to!
