Basenji Rescue
  • Bailey has a new home in Blairsville, GA.

  • That's great! Thanks for the update - did you take her?

  • Yea, good news!

  • Woo hoo! Yes. I'm driving to TN and meeting the lovely rescue mama on Saturday. Bailey will be coming home with me. I saw her on petfinder and couldn't resist another Basenji. I've got to stop this addiction!!!! HELP.

  • well, i don't know anyone on this board that can help you break that addiction. But, good luck with your new family member - and CONGRATS

  • Congrats Vicki! She is oh so lucky. =)

  • Thank you…the rescue mama and I am so excited we found one another.
    Both of us will be driving all day on Saturday and will meet in Lawrenceburg, TN, in front of the Davy Crockett statue in the town square.

    I'm taking my Eski, as co-pilot, and my little Basenji to keep her out of trouble while I'm on the road trip.

    The previous owners kept Bailey outside and she didn't have playmates.
    They had an older Basenji that passed away. Their son bought them a Basenji puppy, Bailey. The couple are retired and elderly, and decided Bailey should be kept outside all the time. When the rescue mama took her, Bailey was thrilled to have company and comforts of home. She does look older, but the rescue mama said Bailey is still a puppy, not quite a year old.

    So, I'll have two young'uns in the house.

  • That's just wonderful, Vicki. Lucky Bailey and lucky you! Thank you for being devoted to rescue. Can't help you with the addiction - I surf for basenjis every few days even though there's no way we have room for more than our two.

  • Happy ending for that little girl :) Can't wait to see photos!!! ;)

    I was surfing petfinder.com today! Bad. Bad. Bad. I promised I would stop.

    Here's what I know: 2 bites to one foster mom. The first was over chicken, trying to take it away from him. The second was over going into the crate. I have not seen any aggression over the crate unless you're forcing him in, he goes in great with a little treat, and now we don't even have to do that. He sleeps in the crate and goes in there when he's not supervised or we're not home. I think she needed stitches for both, but she's older and disabled.

    @BasenjiDiva: Wow, Vicki. Although we are down in Savannah, we also have a place up between Young Harris and Hiawassee. Maybe we could meet up sometime. Don't know how our little female hellion would do with your female though. Our male would probably be okay. Also would love to hear more about your petsitting business that you mentioned. When we are up there we would sometimes like to be able to leave for awhile without worrying about the beasties. Pat Hello - Yes, I would love to meet you when you visit your vacation home. razzcinn at aol dot com. I have two female Basenjis that are doing well together, but I, too, would be concerned about another female Basenji. Monday, I'm interviewing a retired older lady who pet sits and she will stay in the home all day and night, if needed. I need a dependable sitter, too. I often babysit for people who would like to go to dinner and get away w/o worrying about their pets. If I can't help you, I'm certain I can recommend several other dependable sitters.
