Senior Basenjis on Petfinder in Revo NV

Basenji Rescue

  • There are two senior Basenji on petfinder in Reno Nevada…. not sure if BRAT was alerted


  • I love the oldies. xox Hope they find homes. I wish I could save them all!


  • For all that were concerned about Quinn.
    He is home with me and I'm starting to make him feel at home.
    He is looking very frail and so I have some work to do with him.

    Great news that you now have him! I'm sure he will do well with you.


  • I see a curly sue and mogi listed on brat in nevada are these them?

    Yes, I believe those are them….. if I remember the pictures


  • Brat does know about these 2 b's..in fact have posted them on the BRAT site, even tho the shelter will not give them up to BRAT.
    So, we have done all we can.
    I so hope someone will open their hearts and home to these 2 b's.

    Why won't the shelter give them to BRAT?

    I just looked at the pix. Curly Sue looks rather thin.
    I'm praying for these two old darlings.
    Breaks my heart.


  • I went to visit them yesterday and the staff said that they had both been adopted, apparently together.

    That is great news… and many time shelter will not just give them up to rescue... here in No Ca... we have two shelters next to each other... one will call breed rescue if they have a purebred... the other will NOT... as they claim they get "more" money when they place a purebred...

    Glad to hear the great news! Are those shelters in the East Bay?

    Ugh. I hate shelters that charge different fees for purebred or mixed breed dogs. It just keeps up the idea that purebreds are inherently "better" than mixed dogs. And for some things they are–we probably wouldn't be on this board if we all didn't like purebred basenjis--but for shelter rescues? Bah. I totally understand charging different rates for puppies in the hopes that they'll help float the less adoptable dogs, or lowering the fee on senior or sick dogs to get them into homes faster. I even understand a purebred rescue knocking off some money for a mix, but it's kind of...unseemly for shelters to do so, I think.

    Yes they are….. (both in the East Bay)

    I totally agree….


  • Yea….win/win...and someone has a very nice pair of settled b's.

    He did look like he had short legs but I thought his body was long for a Rat Terrier. I am so used to them having a docked tail and much more white on the body. I thought he may be a poorly bred Basenji. Mansfield is not too far away from the Amish area. I wonder if he barks much! Jennifer

    @Janneke: Sahel is a gorgeous girl! I hope she finds a good home soon! This is what I don't understand.. The pup is about a year old and the owner wants to get rid of her because: "I'll be traveling and working more this year, so I'm finding a new home for a beautiful and sweet female Basenji" What about thinking before getting a dog :( It is possible that the owner has a new job, something possibly unexpected especially with the sketchy job market in the US presently. In any case it sounds as if the owner cares about her and would like to find a good home.

    Tegs, Sorry that it took me a while to reply. I would love to trade pics with you. Everyday that passes, I am reminded of the Basenji Code. She is a bolter, I am happy that we have a storm door to help.

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

    Oh, I don't. I can only "have" 2 dogs, but I sure work like heavens to get the dogs matched from the rescue group to the home. Win/win. worth more than gold to find the right place that cares for the dogs forever.
