    @MacPack:

    We meet up every Sunday around 11 at West Park in Hillsborough County (Tampa). I will be out of town this Sunday, taking the fur-kids to Flagler beach for a couple of days, but we have rarely missed a Sunday in the last 6 years! Some days we only have 4 or 6 basenjis, some Sundays up to 11 or 12. just let me know when you might come, I'll be sure and be there. Charlie's mom is friends with a very nice woman named Bambi who has 2 basenjis, Seff and Eshe, I think they meet up at the park occasionally so you may know them too.
    Looking forward to meeting you and your pup.

    Oh wow, that's quite a long time! Have fun on your trip to Flagler I'm sure your pups will thoroughly enjoy it. I will let you know for sure when I'm going to come, I think it would be a great thing for me and would let me be more exposed to some Basenji's and their owners. I believe I do know the dogs, I haven't spoken with their owner yet but I do see them on occasion. I did just find a female Basenji Mix at a shelter, I'm hoping that the foster parents call me back. I'm crossing my fingers!

    I know this isn't near you at all, but if you were up for a road trip… looks like basenjis of all ages, even pups, need homes.

    My folks are in St. Pete! They have what we think might be a b mix, but my parents just insist that she is a black and white curly tailed dog. Just out of curiosity- the lovelyships name caught me- are you a sailor?

    Hope you find the perfect b for you!

    Thank you again and hello Switzerland, wow you're quite far from me! Haha, well I do love animals very much and would love to give one a good home. I'm holding out for the one that captures my heart. :p

    Wow, gosh do I wish I could get up to MI for this. But, as well know money is tight for everyone and I just sadly couldn't afford to go up there.:( If there was a way for them to even transport half way, which is not possible they're a shelter, I would jump on a chance in a heartbeat! Thank you for your help though it is imensely appreciated.

    Haha, well she sounds like she could be one! My boyfriends dog (Flea) was of unknown breed until I told him about Basenjis and sure enough he is a mix! Nope, haah Not a sailor I can barely swim actually. It was out of a song that I really used to like a long time ago and the name has stuck with me. Plus, I used to live outside of Boston and would go in and watch the sailboats in the bay and did think it was lovely;) .

    Wow, thank you so much for making me feel accepted. Yes, I have filled out a BRAT application so I'm awaiting my Basenji to find me. As soon as I can figure out how to get a photo on here of him, I will post it ASAP!
