Hello Marian,
Welcome. What a happy home it must be.
We are Kees-Jan and Anne-Marie from Marken, north of Amsterdam. Where do you live? Maybe we can walk together some time? Also check http://www.basenji-club.nl/ for basenji walks.
We have two daughters from Abotere Khamau, Lela and Binti (2,5 and 3,5 years old) - our first dogs, and we recognize a lot that you wrote.
People warned us about getting a basenji, but we have not been happier since they took over our house and hearts. Lela came with us as a pup (enought to keep you busy) and Binti joined half a year later - it took her around 1,5 years to really settle.
Here's a picture with their big mama friend Kiko the Akita https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dNOYjJPSlhUGbZK3LZxvbwxZLf3J_PvRjNp46MdVlt4?feat=directlink
We hope to meet all of you soon.
Hello from Virginia

Welcome…we would love to see some photos.

Welcome Judy and Marie. I am happy she found you. I am sure with lots of reassurance and slow movements over time she will become less jumpy. Just let her know daily that you will not hurt her and give her lots of kisses and hugs..
We would love to see pictures of her. -
Welcome to our pack! Is this your first basenji? If so you're in for a treat! Lots of love and patience required.
-
Welcome and thank you for taking this baby into your home.

Welcome. Marie is lucky to have found you. Baby steps are huge steps for rescues. Thank you for understanding this and still taking in this dog.
Okinawa, WOW!! Can you tell us more??
-
Welcome to the Forums… we look forward to pictures... and can't wait to hear more of the story... thanks for opening your home and heart to a Basenji in need... and that is right... baby steps are "huge" for rescues....
One thing that I have learned with shy rescues... let them come to you... don't push the issue.... and with any luck, she will be food motivated.. that will help lots... -
