Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Remind me again, were did you get her??

    First post, said took her when his father-in-law had stroke. Question may be where did the FIL get the dog? Maybe that source can rehome?

  • Do you or your FIL know if she has had health testing - specifically for Fanconi?

  • She was given to my brother by one of his co-workers in Texas. She is a mix, but I don't know with what….I checked to see if the original owners would be interested in taking her and they are not.

    She has not been tested for Fanconi...but she is up-to-date on her shots and stuff.

    She weighs 25 pounds ( she was just weighed today) and she's very active...loves to run and jump at the park and day care!!

  • She's beautiful! Don't know why it matters if she is pure bread or mix, she still needs a loving forever home :) Good luck with your search.

  • Cpeck, if the dog is purebred (I am laughing, the pure bread mix is a funny combo, but it is bred as in breeding, not bread as in sourdough) then basenji rescues might help. With a mix, BRAT lets you post it, but they won't foster and take it.

    Go to the brat website and list your dog under the mixes. That way people looking for one might see it.

  • Thanks for pointing out my error Debra. I am well aware of the difference and simply made a mistake in typing.

  • Welcome to the forum! I hope you have the chance to read many of the different threads on hear (here)… it's really your decision weather (whether) to keep her or to find her a knew (new) home, but based on what you've written, she sounds like she has a wonderful life with you! Many basenjis are happy staying home alone, basking in the sunshine in the window, and simply weighting (waiting) until we get home from work to spend time with us!

    And on a personal note, I will keep your father-in-law in my thoughts and prayers. :)

  • Yes she is lovely. I hope her new home comes up soon!

  • @cpeck1960:

    LOL I am the queen of typos and mistypes. :) But that one was a bit funny so had to comment. Hope I didn't offend! And glad you know… so many do not. Of course they also ask about Rockwilders, Rottwilders etc. :) The ones that drive me nuts are GSD owners who call them German Sheperds or chihuahua owners who can't spell it. :)

  • Thank you to all with your suggestions.

    PS: My step-father is improving everyday, thank you.

    @basenjilover-0 said in Looking to re-home: we are no longer in need of re-homing. Does this mean that you have successfully re-homed your pup? Or changed your mind and plan on keeping the pup?

    @cathyroy I am not sure what Natasha is doing, if busy or whatever with the holidays. You may be what she wants, but she's got company or otherwise tied up. She did say maybe set up a trial, so give it a few days before getting upset. However, I will make a few observations about the fit. you have small children you say are good with animals, but you don't have one, so how do you know how they will be with one actually living with you? your interest in a basenji is based on their lack of significant shedding. This is not the breed for a family with young children who have little or no experience with dogs. Your husband presumably works, so the dog will mostly be with you and your children. you are wanting to ADD a dog to your family. She isn't looking to give the dog away. Just as you would be careful of who you have babysit your children, she hopefully wants a suitable fit for her dog. For me, that would be someone experienced in the breed or at least a lot of experience with a variety of dogs and is interested in fostering, not taking, my dog. It isn't an easy decision either for her or for someone agreeing to keep her dog.

    I live in San Francisco and I'm very interested in adopting a Basenji! Could you please contact me and give me more information …. i have had numerous basenjis .. starting out with my two RAMSES and NUBIA they had pups .. and although they were not planned pregnacies .. went to very good homes.. I still have some contact with one family .....that bought two of our pups ... My beloved Leeloo and MAx died last year ..... and I'm sooo in need of having the pitter patter of Basenji feet run around in my empty house... Aldo Villalta 415-587-5010
