About Forrest

Meet Forrest, a spirited Basenji mix ready to find his forever home! Having spent his life in rescue, this affectionate, high-energy dog is looking for a loving family. He gets along well with adults and older kids, making him an excellent fit for a patient household. Forrest is crate trained and eagerly working on his house and leash training, so with consistent guidance, he’s sure to thrive as a loyal companion. His lively nature means he'll benefit from an active family who can keep up with him—lots of exercise and mental engagement will help him shine. While he's friendly towards dogs, we recommend a feline-free home as we're unsure of his comfort around cats.
