  • thanks for your help and no she was not going to refund the Money. I just don't trust her now. I am going to keep her or find someone on my own to take her and care for her the correct way. I think she is happy - she just does not get to run much and she loves to run and play. Thanks again for your help.

    You really need to look into Fanconi testing, it is very important for your peace of mind. Also learning about Basenji health concerns.

    And if the need comes up that you do need to place her, contact Basenji Rescue (BRAT).. that is what they do….


  • I second Pat on Fanconi Testing.

    I also second Pat please call (BRAT) if you just have to give her up.

    I do not always agree or like what Pat has to say but in this case I more than agree.

  • Pat and Rita Jean are right, BRAT does do a wonderfuf job finding forever homes for b's who need it.


  • I have emailed and am talking with LIZ from BRAT she is going to find the right home. I am going to miss her - but I know it's best to give her to someone with more time. She DESRIVES that much. She a great girl and i love her so much, but I know she will be better off with someone who can not only give her exercise but also enough to keep her mind busy and happy since they are so smart. they need more then most puppies.

    thanks for everyones help.


  • Although I know this was a very difficult decision, I sooo respect you for doing the right thing for your dog. Virtual hugs to you:).

    I feel for you, making that decision was not easy, but you can rest assured she will find a family that will care for her just as much as you do.

    And I totally agree, kudos to you….


  • thanks guys - and thanks for the hug. I sure need it.


  • I hope Koda finds a new home soon and you have peace of mind.


  • Bless your heart for caring more about the dogs feeling then your own.
    Hugs, hugs, hugs.
    You are so doing the right thing.

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    Welcome and congratulations! I have two BRATS myself, and a third basenji as well. So beware, they ARE like potato chips (You can't have just one) I love her name, she is gorgeous. Can't wait to hear all about her Homecoming!

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.

    Of course you and your beautiful baby are welcome no snobbs here. And I do agree there's a B in there. Your baby is really sweet looking, enjoy. I also have a rescue and believe me they give back a thousand times more then what you give them.

    Welcome to the forum. Great story too. I especially like the description of your other dog "Betty the Sheprador Chowtriever ." That's Funny! My basenji/whippet mix also came from a local shelter. She wasn't there long enough, or perhaps they didn't know much about bs, but they only had her listed as whippet mix. Didn't take long for a dog savy friend of mine to mention the word "basenji." No doubt in my mind, she is basenji and something. I picked her out and my mother paid for her. Best Christmas present I ever got!
