Jonny, Congo was snatched up in less than a week! He really is a gem and he'll have a full time companion as well (3 year old Female
which he really needs as he's so playful and loves to snuggle. I can't tell you how many times my 80 lbs ridgeback puppy has plopped himself practically on top on Congo and he's just chill with it all.Bless our adopters! To look past his flaw of only having only eye and seeing what a truly golden boy he is was so great! His neuter went fine and he travels to his forever home this Saturday.
-
This is great news. Bless these folks for seeing past the 'problems' and opening their home and hearts to this fella. I am sure he will show them how much he appreciates the good life.
-
Great ending with a new loving home. His one eye is not a problem none of us humans are 100% right.

Rita Jean,
I'd say those of us who are owned by Basenjis must be less that 80% right, in the head anyways…lol
-
Fantastic news for Congo, Yaaaaaay !
-
Congo was very lucky to have Andrea offer to take him in and foster him. Without her, we wouldn't have been able to rehome him as quickly as we did.
BRAT does need foster homes..its a bother, it can be a pain, but oh, when you see a dog turn around, its wonderful.
If any of you have time, we can sure use you!
Andrea..your wonderful! -
My experience is that brindle boy basenjis are the most perfect dogs. Mine has never done anything wrong and has full house prividges even when we're not home. Always has.
i just laughed out loud when i read this - because my brindle boy lenny is the most mischevious little thing EVER!!! love him to death though….
happy congo has a new home!
-
All b's are wonderful and they all are BAD..but we are the reason they are bad…we haven't learned exactly what the b's require!

okay, so who has the "defective" brindle boy?
-
Thank you for finding Congo a home. We are truly sad that it wasnt us that was blessed, but we are JOYFUL he has a wonderful home. IF HE ever needs re-homed, hope he doesnt, please call us!
-
And of course we all know that all "Tris" are defective…gggg

I know Congo personally… I know who his breeder is and the lady that's had him the last year or so... I KNOW HIM... I'm curious about the other 2 B's that lived with him... I never met them but I know it was a male and female, the male was brindle and named Taz...
Congo is about 11 months old so not yet 12 months... He lost his eye while a bigger dog attacked him not from the breeder... The lady that had him was a BYB and when I was there had over 20 dogs...Even time I visited she had different dogs and the older one would be gone (she never said were they went)... She had an older B Girl (the mother of my baby) that was put down because she wasn't social...the litter (my baby's litter) died because she over wormed them... The place was horrible when I was there, dirty, the dogs were always outside with not attention or stuffed in crates with WAY to many other dogs, one time she even had a 6 month old female in the yard with all those males and was in heat, the poor baby got bred to a HUGE male...
I was so worried about Congo and the other 2 B's in the house when I found out that they were going through a devorce... I don't know if you are aloud to or even know about Taz and the little female but I'd love to know they are okay too...
I'm glad Congo is okay... He's a VERY Sweet Boy and very loving, he loved to play with my B when we had play dates...
By the way I can't remeber correctly but I think he's a Fanconi Affected (not 100%) both of his parents were Carriers...so Hopefully you guys test so that the new home knows for sure
-
Such disturbing news about the living conditions of the Basenjis.
Thank goodness Congo has a home and is safe. -
Believe me It's a Big stress reliever to know that BRAT took him… I just got news about the other 2 going to the humane society so I'm hoping BRAT was able to get them as well...
-
Wow, that is horrid..although probably not very uncommon…disgraceful humans. I am glad Congo has a new lease on life and has been given a chance to erase his first very bad memories.
-
People like that need to be turned in no one needs to know who did it.
Rita Jean
-
jepp, I agree, a little phone call to the right authorities..is all that is needed, at least here in TX.
-
I hope his new owners get the Fanconi DNA test done on him - especially coming from 2 carriers….
Ducati...he could be clear, carrier, or affected from that breeding (not ONLY affected).
-
I know exactly what happened to the 2 b's that were in that house of horrors.
They were turned into the local humane society. I went down and talked to the shelter, and they let me send some BRAT folks who drove over 80 miles one way to adopt them.
They were a mess, skin a bones, intact and very scared. Anyway, they are now well loved house dogs with a loving family in Seattle. Fixed and vetted…doing great. I just got photos and did not even think they were the same dogs..
That woman, well, she was going to breed them all!
Yes, this woman should never have another pet...of any kind.
