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

    Folks, If you are unsure whether a particular thread content violates forum guidelines just email admin@basenjiforums.com and we will take it from there. To protect our forum members and ourselves we encourage rescue organizations and individuals to please send us a private message to admin@basenjiforums.com before posting ANY donation solicitations, fundraiser ideas or any Basenji Forums community related commercial activity involving money collection. Fundraising introduces unnecessary complexity and liability for Basenji Forums Staff, so we are very strict and sensitive about this subject regardless how long a particular member has been on the forum. Too many people get scammed into donating for various non existing causes and money gets stolen from honest good meaning folks on the internet all the time. When that happens operators of internet resources that host the donation solicitation inadvertently become part of the legal proceedings by people who are upset about their money being stolen for facilitating the theft. We have no desire or disposable funds to participate in that. We provide this resource free of charge to Basenji owners community. In return we ask our members to respect our rules and guidelines. Thank you, Regards, BF Staff

    Yes, they are as I got my current Basenji there last year. They just don't get around to updating their site because they're so busy. You have to email Karen Jones and she will let you know what's current.

    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

    Getting the gov. involved won't do anything but hurt the legal folks. Just look at byb who go over the "legal" limit for ownership of animals in their care, or horders, who don't do even legal mandated care… Its going to take education and spay/neuter of any animal who leaves a shelter. It's going to take years...I only hope I see it in my lifetime.
