What rescue does for any basenji you adopt.

Basenji Rescue
  • Rescue, the groups I belong to, do all the vetting of any basenji that comes into their care.
    We de-sex the dogs and temperment test them.
    Most all the dogs have been with established foster care folks, so we can match the dog to the new home. AT the very least, we have had them temperment tested.
    We support any behavior issues that occure when the dog is rehomed and we do always offer to take the dog back, at any time if the home doesn't work out.
    However, as we require home visits, do vet checks and screen home, that isn't the norm.
    Anyway, rescue is not just put your $$$ down and take a dog.
    It not a first up, first serve type of thing.
    We are more of a matching service at least that is the way I see it!
    We match the dog who needs a home with the family who wants a new companion.
    Anyone who needs/wants more info can post to me privately.
    I am also here to help folks with behavior issues for the dogs they have.
    I am not an expert, by any means, but I do know many folks who are.
    We mostly want to help basenjis and people live together, in the quirky way
    you do when you share your home with a basenji.

  • hi sharon.

    I feel like I know you. I have read your stuff on Brat. I am glad that you are getting the word out on Brat. Mabel, My B was adopted from there. I cannot say enough good things about people in that organization.

    Actually I'm in that organization. We are good people. Mabel's foster was very helpful with helping me understand her behavior. I think a lot of it was due to fact Mabel is an alpha female.

    Well just thought I would say hi

    I rescued a young Sheltie/Basenji mix many years ago from a Columbus OH shelter for BEAR-Basenji Education and Rescue. She was trouble for the shelter and was kept in a separate area. She loved to lure course and she also would go after balls and bring them back to you! Looked just like a Basenji but with longer fur and her tail was not tightly curled. Dr. Tracy used to joke that we could trim her and get an ILP number from AKC! She found an excellent home. Jennifer

    She looks a lot like my Katie. We say Basenji/Shepherd for Katie too. We think Basenji because of her voice, wrinkles, curly tail, avid prey drive, penchant for lure coursing, nightly grooming rituals, and get-into-everything-ness, although it could be any of the primitive/pariah type dogs, so the Basenji could be complete fantasy. -Nicole

    Hi jagm - Are you really sure you want puppies? Have you ever bred a litter before? It is truly more work than I would have ever thought, especially if you are doing all of the right things, as listed above by tanza & lvoss. Are you prepared to keep 6 or so puppies forever? I used to think to neuter & spay was cruel as well, but realistically, that's only a selfish notion. Good luck in finding your boy a companion! I found one for my girl & that's the best thing I could have done for her, other than having her spayed.
