We are in San Antonio and are looking for one or two Basenjis. We had our previous two Basenjis for 16 years. They were two girls and half sisters. What are their ages? Do they get along with indoor cats.
Basenji in Puerto Rico needs home
-
A man in Puerto Rico posted his basenji to BRAT. Although I would love to fly there and evaluate the dog, BRAT is unable to accept him due to he complexity of meeting our preapproval criteria. I told the gentleman that I would post to other basenji lists. I received pictures of a handsome tricolor purebred that I can forward to anyone who is interested. Here is more information along with owner contact. He says Abbasi is up to date with all vetting. Emilio is willing to pay all expenses to ship him to an adopter. He wants to find him a good home that understands the breed.

Liz, I hope this boy finds a home in the states soon.
Thanks for posting this. -
I sure this boy finds a forever home ..soon.
-
Sounds like he needs an experienced owner, and some socialization.
We are so lucky to have great rescue organizations (BRAT, and other smaller rescues) to help our breed. -
I hate to be someone who "rains" on this post, but with all the e-mail scams, Pat as been involved with one, I hope this is a legit post and not a scam.
-
If it is a scam, it's a sad topic to make into a scam. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it is legit, and hope the dog finds a good home that knows basenjis.

Yes, Fran, I agree. There is a special place in hell for folks who use dogs and those who love them, to get $$$.
BUT they are out there. I hope this is a kind person with a love for his basenji. -
If he's willing to pay all expenses to send the dog, and I don't see any request for $$$, what kind of scam would it be?
In any case, if it is real, I really wish I could help being so close to PR - literally a 15-20 minute flight.
One day I'll have a big house with a yard…but not yet. -
Yes, Fran, I agree. There is a special place in hell for folks who use dogs and those who love them, to get $$$.
BUT they are out there. I hope this is a kind person with a love for his basenji.I agree but I don't think it is one of those since the guy is willing to pay the fees to get the dog to the adopter. I also think I saw something in the BRAT emails about this dog.
I know peoples emails have been hacked before but Liz does post here occasionally.
