Basenji on Craigslist Rockaway NJ

  • First Basenji's

    Date: 2012-06-20, 6:28PM
    Last year I rescued an abandoned & abused African Basenji dog. Gaining his trust, love & respect was difficult; thankfully not impossible. They are incredible animals, with some very funny quirks….like covering and hiding his food.
    He is my best friend, and I love him dearly.
    Lately I have noticed him finding anything he can and trying to make a den, like my clothing, towels, whatever he can scavange.
    I've seen dog dens, but they are way out of my tax bracket.
    He is a medium to large size dog, that likes to curl up like a cat and be nesting.
    Hope I find an animal lover like myself, who may be able to help. Thank You in advance

    I have contacted the owner via e-mail as I do live in this town asking for more information about health and if they had contacted Brat… also if they could supply an age picture and health history. Hopefully they could get back to me soon. Help the guy out!

    I mentioned health twice in the post… I was just typing quickly with out revising, but it is important info though lol.


  • He's looking for a kennel {ad vert is for "dog den"} , not a new home . . . Or am I reading that post incorrectly?

  • First Basenji's

    Hmmm.. you make a good point! I understood he wanted a new home for him but now that I look at it again u maybe right he is looking for a enclosure. I never really heard someone use the term dog den for a kennel or crate but we will see when I get a response e-mail. Also when he mentioned the dog lover part that's what gave me the idea he was looking to place it in a new home. I'm new to craigslist.. just wanted to help!


  • Anyone nearby that could explain Bs to her and how most of them like to be crated and also sleep in bed with you, usually under the covers! I have had a couple of rescues that really like to dig and circle in the sofa/chair coverings and also lay on top of the other Bs to sleep. Perhaps this boy needs a companion.

    Are we even sure it is a Basenji? Small to medium might be a better description. Wonder if it is a cross?

    This person has still not responded to me yet and I sent them a revised email explaining the mistake and advice on what kind of "den" would be best. I asked if they were willing to meet up so I could meet this lil fella. I agree with the whole bed thing my little girl is like my sleeping partner, it just doesn't happen that we are not snuggling, My bf get so jealous because her and I have a routine and shes always on my side. He wishes he has a Basenji teddy bear to sleep with heheh!

    It says it was posted a month ago - no way someone wouldn't have already picked him up.

    Dear Basenji Forums Community, I am sure many of you have been wondering what was the outcome of this rescue effort. Well, let us tell you it was unexpected. A rescue mission that was supposed to unite our community to help save a dog turned into a complete opposite and brought us apart. I would like to thank everyone who stepped in to help and put their time and money to attempt to save this dog and offer him a life without neglect. Members who volunteered themselves for this mission had many years of experience with the breed, with both ill-tempered rescues, and those that have been fabulous. They had enough experience to make a determination whether to attempt this or not. While this dog had issues it is imperative to keep in mind he was a just a puppy, and someone was willing to give him a chance. Others may have disagreed on the reasoning for attempting this, but at no time they were given the right to derail this mission and use this forum to publicly attack and discredit members whose only intentions were to help save this dog. As a result of the actions of certain members our whole community suffered: The dog was not saved Forum rules about code of conduct were broken Existing members were publicly offended and discredited New members were exposed to public arguments Our community lost potential member referrals Members had to be suspended from the forum It is really too bad and sad, because we built this community to bring together basenji owners, breeders, and exhibitors throughout the world. To be hopeful that they could help one another and dogs in need. Thank you again for trying to help. All donation have been refunded and no more assistance will be attempted. Which, of course, is unfortunate for the basenji in need. As a last note please remember to review our forums code of conduct and forum rules and to treat others with utmost respect. Like the Basenjis, each of us is unique with our unique character, but our admiration and respect for this breed have brought us together and make us a community. Disregard for our forum community rules will not be tollerated on this forum. Please contact Basenji Forums staff directly at admin@basenjiforums.com if you have any questions or concerns. This thread is closed for public discussion.
