Baroo needs a loving forever home

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • Have you contact BRAT? They are a good resource to help you find a good forever home for him.

  • Do you know if the original owner got him from a breeder or was he from a rescue? The reason I ask about a breeder is, maybe he can be returned to the breeder. Also, if he is in tact, I'm wondering if the original owner had an agreement with the breeder that he couldn't be neutered for some reason. Could you ask the original owner where he came from?

  • If you can't find the breeder, and you decide to rehome him yourself, I suggest you get him fixed.
    You surely don't want him to end up in a puppymill breeding home and that can happen with intact dogs.
    But ideally, the breeder should be contacted…

  • Yes the breeder if known should be contacted and also you should contact BRAT… are you in No. or So. California? And he for sure needs to be neutered before his is placed regardless...

  • I am in southern California.

  • Please, I know you care about this dog, but please get him fixed before you rehome him to anyone other than BRAT…

  • You can also contact MedFly in Southern California…

  • @tanza:

    You can also contact MedFly in Southern California…

    Yes–You can check out their website (there's a link to it on the BRAT site). They are also known as Basenji Rescue of Southern CA. Pls send me a private message if you want more info. I got Tyler and Zoey from them earlier this year.

  • "Young male basenji, free to good home" was how we got our first male, intact, who was a handfull for his very uninformed owners. We didn't know what we were getting inot either, but 34 years later, here we are with 3. Please follow the great advice you have been given, contact BRAT, they wil find him a great home, or nueter him if you place him yourself. There is nothing wrong with crying "uncle" and turning him over to rescue, you are like a wonderful foster home for him. They will screen potential owners and make sure he gest just the right family, and you can rest easy, knowing he will have a good life.

    Good luck,
    Anne in Tampa

  • OK, I take it all back, we have decided to keep Baroo. He deserves another chance, and a fair one, so I'm going to commit to training him and walking him and take it from there. I will be starting another post, and don't want to repost everything here, so if you want to know more see the other post. I have just decided he is worth a second chance.

    @jodymp another post you sent stated you were in Yorkshire... so, are you looking for a pup in Europe? Do you have a specific region, or a distance range where you are focusing your search?

    Shes super smart. I just wanna see her go to someone who has more time for a puppy. I have yet to hear back from BRAT about posting her on the site under Mixes. She's very dog friendly and SUPER playful.

    @tanza: Doris Daniels is a breeder, so I would guess that she is looking to place something she has bred… kennel name Djakomba.... would guess that maybe these were breeder returns? And she is in New Jersey

    @jmcduff: We were able to pickup Tyson from Kelli and brought him home on Monday. His new buddies Chevy (Tri-female) and Chase (RW-male) are beginning to accept Tyson into our home. Chase has no problem but Chevy is very protective of us and very bitchy toward Tyson. After two days she is getting better. Chase he doesn't care he just goes with the flow. The first night was interesting but we made it through. Our B's sleep in our bed and Chevy wasn't too happy about having to share with Tyson. She doesn't bother him when they are outside together it is mostly inside our house which she is very protective. I have attached a picture of all them together. Ha! Her body language says it all!!! Good luck, and I hope things get better and better! Beautiful dog family there!

    If you don't find a home for her, you can also try try Medfly Brigade/Basenji Rescue of SoCal. There is a link to their web site at the BRAT site. They are in Acton, CA.
