Wanted Basenji in Pennsylvania
-
Well it's official. Thanks to BRAT I finally got a Basenji. His name is Jacob and he's about 2.5 years old. I love him so much. We got him on Saturday and he was so scared and timid. He is starting to warm up and come out of his shell. My wife and I are really thrilled that Jacob is now part of our family. Thanks to everyone who has responded to this thread.

Yaaaay what good news! Best of luck while you adjust to one another. Congrats..
and…we love pics!...hint hint nudge nudge

Congratulations! Give him plenty of time and let him come to you, just stay relaxed, talk to him a lot, and try not to push. (that's hard when you want to scoop him up and hug and kiss) If he likes walks, jingle the leash and take him out a lot for short strolls, all that good stuff, and he'll be right at home in no time. Good for you for getting a rescue!

Congratulations to you and Jacob for finding one another! I had to laugh at your "finally" getting a basenji. :rolleyes: You first posted here less than three weeks ago, and mentioned that Thanksgiving week would be the perfect time. I'd say that's pretty efficient results on BRAT's part, and not a lot of time to secure the perfect partner for what will hopefully be a decade-long (or longer, Dog willing) relationship. Lucky you!!
Now, about those pictures…

Advice from Sharron was invaluable when we brought Fiji and then Bongo home. You might give this sticky a look when you have a minute - could make Jacob's adjustment easier.

It really does work.
I know everyone is excited when they get a new dog, but calm and slow is really the way to go with a new dog.
It makes bonding happen so much quicker…
Let us know if you have any issues we can help you with, and do send some photos.
Yea, another rescue finds a home...win/win -
Post some pics already!!

congrats on the new family member.

I just posted two pics of Sakari in 'My baby Bisa' photo album. Will give you an idea of the JRT / B mix she was … She was a terrific dog BUT she DID shed like crazy!!!!
