    hopefully they will all find homes where they will be indoor dogs


  • BRAT got right on it last night, so they saw the post. I am so darn glad we have this group.
    Fingers crossed they can get all 3…it will be heaven for the b's if they are p/u by BRAT.

    Shame on those owners..shame!

    The BRAT coordinator for OK is already working on this.

  • Yea!!!!!!! Good. I just saw this post and it made me sad/mad.


  • Here's a cute black and white basenji in San Diego. I sent an email to them, suggesting that they contact BRAT, or to post on here.

    Need to find a good home for our female purebred Basenji. Sadie is 1 1/2 years old, 20 lbs and completely housebroken.
    My son and I need to move the end of this month into a small one bedroom apt. that does not allow for pets. We need to rehome Sadie asap. Please contact 858-663-1018 if interested in adopting Sadie.

  • Also people should be directed back to the pups breeder as they should take responsibility for what they have breed regardless of the reason


  • I let the BRAT person in Ca know..in case they didn't see this ad.
    Thanks so much for sharing it so we can see what we can do for these b's.

    3-year-old male in Arizona:
    http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pet/1796135294.html

    "Blake is a three year old male Basenji. He is a purebred, trindle colored Basenji (tri color with brindle). We rescued him a year and a half ago, and for the most part he is a sweet boy. He was left in his kennel for up to 16 hours a day from his previous owner. He had issues with his kennel but will now go to "bed" (his kennel) on command, sometimes needs a little snack for coaxing! He normally gets along with our other male Basenji, but there appears to be a dominance issue between the two as they have not been getting along as well. We feel that Blake would be happier in a single dog family where he can get the love and attention he deserves.

    E-mail for details about the re-homing fee. He would like to keep his food dish, bed, kennel. We don't have any problem with that and will include his AKC paperwork as well. (he is neutered so don't get any ideas)"


  • Thanks I sent them a note. Will let BRAT know, if they haven't see this.


  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Thanks I sent them a note. Will let BRAT know, if they haven't see this.

    I would not say that this is a rescue situation. Looks to me like they are responsible people (since they already have a Basenjis), know the breed and are just looking to place this boy in a better situation where there is not conflict with another male?


  • Hi everyone I am new to this forum and have tried many avenues for finding Rocky a home. He is a wonderful adult basenji, 5yrs old, tan and white. I have been "fostering" him for about a year now trying to find him the RIGHT home. I recently joined the Army and I can no longer care for him. I have tried BRAT but they are full.

    If anyone is interested, please let me know.

  • Ladybug, I would love to help you out but Florida is a long ways away from where I live. I hope you find a wonderful home for him but I'm already jealous of his new owners.


  • Who in BRAT told they are full?


  • Ladybug do you have any idea who Rocky's breeder is? If so, perhaps they may be willing to take him back?


  • I have never been told that BRAT is full.

    Two females and one male, females birthdate Dec. 6, 2003 and the male is Dec. 2, 2002. The male is not related to the females. All three are AKC registered with papers on hand. Selling all three because my nephew is no longer interested in them cause he is roping now.


  • Wow, breaks my heart when I hear that someone purely "doesn't want their dog" (or any animal) any more. Animals should not be viewed as a 'hobby' that can change on a whim.

    As for the other basenji, he looks lovely. We have a calm house, no kids, 3 cats and both adults at home all day. I wish I was in a position to help this fellow out, but the timing is not right for right now as one of our 3 senior cats is in lots of discomfort with an arthritic back. I will send a message out into the cosmos to hope for a forever home for him.

  • First Basenji's

    I'm really nervous about the second one, actually. It looks like a BYB kit for sale, complete with a run-down looking kennel… "The male is not related to the females."


  • I did let BRAT's OK coordinator know about these guys.

    It says it was posted a month ago - no way someone wouldn't have already picked him up.

    This person has still not responded to me yet and I sent them a revised email explaining the mistake and advice on what kind of "den" would be best. I asked if they were willing to meet up so I could meet this lil fella. I agree with the whole bed thing my little girl is like my sleeping partner, it just doesn't happen that we are not snuggling, My bf get so jealous because her and I have a routine and shes always on my side. He wishes he has a Basenji teddy bear to sleep with heheh!

    Dear Basenji Forums Community, I am sure many of you have been wondering what was the outcome of this rescue effort. Well, let us tell you it was unexpected. A rescue mission that was supposed to unite our community to help save a dog turned into a complete opposite and brought us apart. I would like to thank everyone who stepped in to help and put their time and money to attempt to save this dog and offer him a life without neglect. Members who volunteered themselves for this mission had many years of experience with the breed, with both ill-tempered rescues, and those that have been fabulous. They had enough experience to make a determination whether to attempt this or not. While this dog had issues it is imperative to keep in mind he was a just a puppy, and someone was willing to give him a chance. Others may have disagreed on the reasoning for attempting this, but at no time they were given the right to derail this mission and use this forum to publicly attack and discredit members whose only intentions were to help save this dog. As a result of the actions of certain members our whole community suffered: The dog was not saved Forum rules about code of conduct were broken Existing members were publicly offended and discredited New members were exposed to public arguments Our community lost potential member referrals Members had to be suspended from the forum It is really too bad and sad, because we built this community to bring together basenji owners, breeders, and exhibitors throughout the world. To be hopeful that they could help one another and dogs in need. Thank you again for trying to help. All donation have been refunded and no more assistance will be attempted. Which, of course, is unfortunate for the basenji in need. As a last note please remember to review our forums code of conduct and forum rules and to treat others with utmost respect. Like the Basenjis, each of us is unique with our unique character, but our admiration and respect for this breed have brought us together and make us a community. Disregard for our forum community rules will not be tollerated on this forum. Please contact Basenji Forums staff directly at admin@basenjiforums.com if you have any questions or concerns. This thread is closed for public discussion.
