Basenji Dogs Available for Adoption in Gilbert, Arizona

Meet Roe!

Roe is a sweet, playful little girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She loves people, gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and is always ready for fun, cuddles, or treats! She hasn’t met any cats yet, so her feline compatibility is still unknown.

Roe’s foster mom believes she may be a Basenji mix, but Roe’s favorite feature is definitely the adorable little white tip on her tail — especially because she can chase it around herself! She’s smart, eager to learn, and highly treat-motivated, which makes training fun and easy.

This clever girl already knows “sit,” is doing well with a short “stay,” and is currently working on “come.” She is dog door trained and kennel trained for both nighttime and when left alone. Roe loves playing with her foster siblings and does a great job adjusting her play style to match the dogs around her. She can be rowdy and playful with energetic dogs but gentle with more sensitive companions. She does well with both big and small dogs.

Roe would thrive in an active home that will continue her training and give her plenty of love, exercise, and adventures. She is chipped, spayed, vaccinated, and completely ready to find her forever family.

Roe will come with a collar, leash, harness, bowls, bedding, and toys to help her settle into her new home. Her foster mom is also happy to provide a kennel to borrow for the first two weeks if needed.

Approximate adult size 30-40 pounds ish? Adoption fee $500

If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and playful companion, Roe may be the perfect addition to your family!

The Basenji is a small hunting dog known for its unique traits, including a highly distinctive yodel like sound instead of a typical bark, and the inability to bark like other dogs. Originating from Africa, these intelligent and curious dogs are independent, agile, and alert, making them excellent companions for active individuals or families with experience handling their assertive nature. Recognized for their clean habits and cat like grooming behavior, basenjis require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive in a loving home environment.
