Zulu Joy

Joy From Heaven

Zulu arrived with her name already chosen. The owners had initially planned to call her Trinity but learned the name meant “heaven” and decided to keep it. They added “Joy” to the name because she arrived after losing two previous Basenjis, making her a gift from heaven to fill that empty place in their hearts.

Born December 19, 2016, Zulu began as a show dog puppy. Following years competing in rings and winning ribbons, she retired to South Florida, where she now enjoys adventures with her brother Zinga.
