Maybe you should have contacted BCOC rescue and they could have taken over. While you may be affiliated with BRAT, in Canada we also have our own rescue and I'm sure someone was aware of it and already tried it. Helps to do a little digging with BCOC.
Basenjis on Craigslist

I was not trying to sound judgemental, and I am glad you read it that way.
I had a divorce 40 yrs ago and didn't have much $$. I moved into a section of town my folks wouldn't visit after dark…but I could have my pets, so it worked for me.
I moved up when I could. Some folks will make the choice to keep pets NO matter what, some will not.
I make that choice, but I know other have other issues.
I just want to help the animals in need..and even if I would like to slap the folks leaving the dogs yes total judgement statement here, I always try to get the dog in hand.
Then I can vent to my friends like you! grin. -
Here's another cutie, in Dallas… doesn't say if its a male or a female, or what the rehoming fee is....

And another pup in Atlanta:

Very cute 17 month old basenji, very energetic, fun loving, loves the outdoors and gets along with people, dogs, cats and kids. He is house broken, knows the following commands: sit, shake, leave it, drop it, do your business, stay, get in bed. I love him but I have a very busy lifestyle and want him to go to a very caring family. He is very easy going, he has all his shots and is a pure breed. A rehoming fee of $300
-
Oh, my heavens! I will notify folks in each area.
Sigh.
What is going on..???!!! -
Wow, can't believe so many beautiful basenjis on craigslist. Sending the Jacksonville link to friends in that area who have spent time with ours and know what they'd be getting themselves into.

Thanks I will let the BRAT folks know.

Wow, is that a prong collar the Red&White is wearing in the house? Looks like it, complete with tags…. and they look older????
-
I hate prong collars, they should be outlawed. Poor b's..hopefully, they will find a home where they can be treasured!

Depends on the situation and who is using them. While I don't use them, I know many that do and you can also get prong covers (rubber tips that fit over the prong ends). But for the "general public" that have no idea how they are or should be used, I totally agree. And for sure it is not something that should be left on unsupervised.
-
ah, they are too cute..a brindle and black/white it looks like..I hope BRAT can step in..
-
The BRAT folks in NY are on these 2. If I hear, I will keep you all informed.
I don't put collars on my dogs in the house. There are just too many ways they can get them caught, or they tangle each others jaws in them..while playing.
Re prong collars, most folks don't use them properly. That is why I think you need to take a test to use them..only kind of kidding.
Also, the one without the rubber tips are just cruel, at least, that is how I feel. -

Hheee, we are on the same page here..Sadly in our country, anyone can have kids and pets and pretty much do whatever they want to with them, until someone steps up and and says "stop it!"

I have two beautiful basenji's that I am looking for a forever home for. Both full sisters , 5 and 4. They are very friendly and love people. Both are outside dogs and have never really spent anytime inside. They are smart so maybe they can learn. They are kennel ( crate) trained . They go in the house at night in their crate and they will scratch at the door if when they are ready to go to bed. I would prefer them to go to a home with another basenji or someone who has had one in the past. Though I need to find them a home I am not looking asap and will make sure it's a very good fit. I also want someone who owns a house and will ask proof of that. With all the foreclosures going on I just don't want them to have to find another home. Though they are great with children , I am looking for a home with children at least 4 and up. They will chase a cat and not sure if they will hurt one I know they will chase. SO if you have a cat this may not be a good fit. Basenji's can be very stubborn. Very smart but strong willed. The perfect home would take both but I know that is asking alot so I am open to someone just taking one. I am not sure how they would get along with other dogs, specially girls. They get along with some of my dogs and some of my children dogs but not with others. I have a personal reason I am looking to find them a home and would prefer not to discuss this on craig's list. I do have time to find the perfect home and will take the time to do so. I do not live in the area but travel to Sac , monthly and the weather in Sac is better for the girls then in my area. They love the Sun. Welcome to shoot me a email asking any questions I didn't answer. Very reasonable rehoming fee.

email: comm-nfqjt-1766794304@craigslist.orgI'm looking for a forever home for my basenji's . I have two beautiful girls. Both full sisters , 5 and 4. Though I would love to see them go together , I know the odds are low someone wants to take both. I really am going to hold out for someone who has one currently or can prove they did have one. They are a special breed. They are not housebroken….so please remember that . They are completely outside but for night time when they go inside a kennel ( crate) . They are awesome inside the crate. I have never had any issues with children and they are around them all the time. But I do not want them around very young children , just because . I also want a homeowner. So you must own your own home . They will chase a cat , I do not know if they would hurt one but they will chase so I'm not sure this would be a good fit if you have cats. I am in no hurry . There is a long story on why I am looking for a home and I would rather not get into it on craigs. There will be a reasonable adoption fee.

If you want the best home for your b's please list them with BRAT, www.basenjirescue.org.
That group does a great job rehoming b's who need a new place to live. -
Can I ask you bluntly…why won't you list them with BRAT???
-
PattyM is in Florida and I think she was just forwarding a post from CraigsList. Looks like the basenjis are somewhere on the west coast. I guess you could try the email on the CL ad.
