Looking to adopt a basenji (Los Angeles, CA)


  • Hi everyone :)

    My fiance and I met a basenji mix at a large adoption event a while back and fell in love with the breed. It wasn't the right time then, but now we are ready to welcome a dog into our lives! We would love to adopt a red/white basenji or basenji mix (puppy to 5 years old). We're a young, active couple (both 29yrs old) and want to take the dog on weekend hikes, dog parks, and the beach (we live less than 3 miles from the coast). Please let me know if you have any information or have a basenji you need to rehome.

    Thanks guys!

  • I have one that I can no longer keep because I'm moving to an apartment that doesn't allow dogs. He's 7 1/2 months old (born 12/17/14). He's a brindle color. $1000. We're in Northern California.


  • there's been one listed on Craigslist that might be worth looking at:

    I know nothing about this dog - good, bad or otherwise, just saw that it was being listed.

    Otherwise, I'd recommend going to basenji.org and looking for breeder contacts there. Contact a few and see if they can help you


  • HMMC76 - Have you contact the breeder? Most responsible breeders require that their dogs be returned to them if the dog needs to be re-homed

    Just 7 mos ago you were desperately seeking a dog… now you can't keep it? PLEASE contact the person you got it from. $1000 is a hell of a lot for a basenji... wow. I am sure the breeders would want it back as most have contracts demanding first right of refusal at least.


  • I live in Pasadena, California. I just recently lost my 14 year old basenji to cancer. Me and my husband have had two basenjis that we have given the best life possible. We would love to have two puppies. I have a toddler in my life who lived with us for two years. She learned how to give him treats, make him sit and then give him his treats. Me and my husband are missing not having pups in the house. we have had 14 years of basenji experience. I am checking around for avaiable basenjis. If anyone can direct us to a reputable breeder, please do. Thank you.


  • Laura,
    You have posted under someone's thread looking to adopt. Hopefully people will still see it but you might get more attention on a new thread. I am starting one for you and will add the link.

    That should take you to the thread. Good luck in your search. I know members here will have some breeders for you. Also, you might consider BRAT or rescues. While puppies not that common, they do come along. Also considering older pups (6 to 10 mos) from breeders that didn't work out for show but would be great as pets will broaden your options.

    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

    Figula as you live in Peterborough just to let you know that it is our club show on 28th March (Sunday) We are the Basenji Owners and Breeders Association and you are very welcome to come along. If you come at about midday, you could have lunch with some Basenji people and say hallo to us and our dogs. The venue is Alconbury Village Hall. If you're interested I can send you details.

    Hi jagm - Are you really sure you want puppies? Have you ever bred a litter before? It is truly more work than I would have ever thought, especially if you are doing all of the right things, as listed above by tanza & lvoss. Are you prepared to keep 6 or so puppies forever? I used to think to neuter & spay was cruel as well, but realistically, that's only a selfish notion. Good luck in finding your boy a companion! I found one for my girl & that's the best thing I could have done for her, other than having her spayed.

    Thank you for opinions! I don't think she is in any danger in the sanctuary but probably it would be nice to let them know that she might be a basenji - more chances to get adopted. And there's absolutely nothing from a shar pei in her!
