    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!


  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Oh, Yeiks and damn! Free…sigh. Ok, will try to get someone to get these 3 b's.

    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.

  • Its awful to see how these bs in OK are kept..shame on that owner…

    I had to re-home my darling red/white Basenji named Isis, a 1.5 year old spayed girl, in July of 2012. My living circumstances were economically altered and I could no longer give her the care she needed and deserved. I kept in touch with the gentleman who adopted her but recently found out that he re-homed again without letting me know. He can't or won't provide me with any information regarding the adoption. Astounding to me, as now I am quite distraught. I have all of the vet records for her and wanted to get in touch with the new family to provide information and support. I am not interested (or rather can't anyway) reclaim her, so I don't want said family to worry about that type of situation. I just want to keep in touch but not interfere. I only want to keep in touch and would be most grateful for any response that may be out there for her. I appreciate you taking time to read this and hope that you can lend a hand. I would be in your debt.

    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!

    He did look like he had short legs but I thought his body was long for a Rat Terrier. I am so used to them having a docked tail and much more white on the body. I thought he may be a poorly bred Basenji. Mansfield is not too far away from the Amish area. I wonder if he barks much! Jennifer

    Jennifer, I meant Pam the breeder here in MA… I figured this might be one of her boys because of proximity to each other... If this is an Eldorado boy then Pam will definitely want to intervene and get the dog back. I emailed her the link and she will deal with it if it's one of hers.

    I forwarded the information to the breeders that are members of Willamette Valley Basenji Club and Evergreen Basenji Club along with Sharron, BRAT representative. I emailed the poster on the 13th and have not gotten a response. Hopefully he will end up in a good place.
