Dougie - Basenji and Carolina Dog Dog for Adoption in Manhasset, New York

This is beautiful DOUGIE and he's such a good boy! He's a Basenji and Carolina mix who is just under 2years old & fully grown at 46 pounds! He has beautiful golden coloring and one brown eye and one blue eye which makes him even more special. As you can see in his pics and videos, Dougie is always smiling...he's really a happy dog who welcomes each day as a chance to have fun.

He's living with a great Foster family now who have other dogs so it's like doggie camp for him! He's a lover boy and wonderful with everyone he meets and other dogs too. He's also a smart cookie....we have lots of videos with him showing how he sits so politely waiting for his treats! He'll be a great family dog and a great companion to adopters who like to go hiking or bring their pup on errands with them. And, if there's a pup-cup included he's all in!

We're looking for a wonderful family who have a fenced yard so he can play and take lots snoozes in the sun. He'd do great with doggie siblings but could easily be a solo pup because he loves to hang our with his peeps. He's healthy, up to date on all his vaccinations and so ready to be part of a family! Reach out to Long Road Home Rescue (lrhrescue@gmail.com or 516-459-3509) to get lots more info, pics and videos of this great guy!

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.

The Carolina Dog, a primitive breed known for its wild ancestry, is a medium sized, agile, and intelligent dog originally found roaming freely in the Southeastern United States. With a distinctive appearance marked by erect ears, a bushy tail, and a sable coat, Carolina Dogs are highly adaptable, affectionate with their families, and wary of strangers, making them excellent watchdogs. Their natural hunting instincts and independence require consistent training and an active lifestyle to thrive in a loving home environment.
