Story
Meet New Horizons New Horizons is a sweet and gentle soul looking for a quiet, patient adopter to help him continue blossoming. True to his Basenji roots, he's naturally peaceful and doesn’t bark—making him a wonderfully calm companion. This little gentleman is impressively clean: no chewing, no destruction, and completely house-trained. He walks politely 2–3 times a day, has a solid appetite and sleeps soundly through the night. New Horizons has never shown aggression—only fear. But with time, love, and encouragement, he’s already showing signs of growth. He’s food-motivated and shows great potential for continued progress. If you're a kind, calm presence who believes in the quiet power of patience, New Horizons may be your perfect match. ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract.

Beautiful Andy is a fun and happy Basenji mix who weighs 40-45 pounds. He's a very sweet boy who loves to play and hang out with his peeps. He's just one year old and is super smart. You can see his beautiful coat and curled tail in his photos. He gets along great with adults and children and loves to play with other dogs too. He loves being part of the action and give him a chaise lounge in the sun and he's in heaven! Andy is living with a great Foster Mom who says: "Andy is a lovable guy who is bursting with personality and affection! He absolutely adores people and gets along great with my dog so he's a wonderful companion. He's a very smart and eager learner and is mastering his good manners and how to be a gentleman! :) I think he'd love a fenced in backyard where he could stretch his legs and play to his heart's content. Oh, and his super power is that he doesn't really shed which is great. He'll so much fun and happiness to his new family's life!" Andy is totally healthy and up to date on all his vaccinations.He's house-trained and crate trained too! Reach out to Long Road Home Rescue (lrhrescue@gmail.com) to get more info on this sweet guy!

Story
Hi, I’m Chai. I was minding my own business running around the neighborhood until I came across this one house that had all the good treats. Suddenly this lady said something about rescuing me because there was a freeze coming and I didn’t trust her at first, I was so scared. I decided to play hard to get, it took her like 5 days to gain my trust. Finally I decided it was time to see what she had to offer. Now I’m having the time of my life. I have fur brothers and sisters that keep me company, I even have a human sister that’s just a baby. I’m so gentle with her and my foster mom says I’m a natural around infants. I spend my days sleeping on the couch and doing zoomies in the backyard. I’m working on my confidence right now and I’m a little shy but I promise I warm up fast. I’m scared of unfamiliar things but my foster parents are going to keep working with me. I’m fully potty trained, crate trained, and have good manners. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
