Basenjis on Craigslist

Basenji Rescue
  • First Basenji's

    I don't think it was clear from the original ad if it was $200 total or $200 per. Did anyone find out for sure?


  • Yes, I did find out… it's $200 for all three dogs. I have the lady's phone number and email address if there's someone nearby that can rescue them?

    (Insert sign of hope here)....:)

    Cheba is a 5 year old Basenji who is in need of a good home. I travel all the time and its come to the point where I realise she needs a home where her owner is home more. She is a loving girl who needs to be with a family that is around. She does not like other dogs living with her, but is good with children. She is the best dog I have ever had, but she needs more love. Rehoming fee would be negotiable, but Im asking $100.00. Please read up about Basenjis before answering to this ad because they are different from a normal dog, actually better, they don't bark. They are refered to as the barkless dog. If interested contact me at 480-213-5478

  • @DebraDownSouth:

    You know Joanne, money couldn't be tighter right now, but if my $30 would help, count me in.

    The three dogs are still there… I could also help with $30 if someone is nearby to get them. I posted on the BRAT page on Facebook too; maybe someone near Quinton OK can get them. Do you realize these dogs were posted in the "Farm & Garden" section of Craig's List? Sadly, these dogs aren't pets, they are livestock. :(


  • Its heartbreaking to us who treasure our b's…but sadly, these "farmers" don't see these dogs as anything more than a cash crop...sigh...


  • Since the USDA handles commercial dog breeding, it is definitely considered farming. In many of the states the rules for dogs are under the Dept of Agriculture or something similar.

    7 month old female Basenji. Please know or have researched this breed prior to emailing me about her.
    There is a rehoming fee. She is not registered, but 100% Basenji.
    She is good with kids, but like any other Basenji, doesn't like to be bothered when sleeping. She is potty trained and crate trained. Good with male dogs, but right now we are having problems with her and my husbands female terrier. I am now moving back home where I cannot have a dog, so my little dream dog needs to find her new perfect home.

    I posted to her asking if she would turn this b over to BRAT…no response, so am hoping someone who knows b's will go get her.
    Sigh.


  • fortunately the ad was removed for Cheba, I just hope she contacted rescue.

    I heard back from this person, they're asking for a $250 rehoming fee. After I suggested turning the puppy over to rescue or returning the puppy to the breeder, I didn't hear back from them.

    Basenji, rare race, fine dog. Family matters changed the time that we have to spend with the dog, so we are considering selling him.

    Calm dog, although not perfect I'd say he's the calmest dog I've owned, easy. Dog loves people and is perfect if you own other dogs, he loves to play with them but is not overbearing and often will follow their lead.... cats not so much :)

    The dog is sterilized and has all recommended basic vaccines, he's a show stoper everywhere he goes. A lady said that he was a Zen dog, which describes Buddy well. You'll find good information on this race on the web, very interesting breed.

    Message for more info, serious inquiries only please.

    Basenij, race rare. La situation familiale coupe le temps que nous avons pour passer avec lui, malheureusement.

    Chien calme, pas parfait bien s?r mais est facilement le chien le plus calme que nous avons eu. Il aime les gens et surtout les chiens mais n'est pas trop stress? ou stressant, il s'acclimate rapidement aux autres chiens et aime vivre en meute.

    Il est sterilis? et a tous les vaccins de base recommand?s. il est remarqu? partout o? il va. Une dame a fait la remarque qu'il ?tait Zen, ce qui le d?crit bien. Faites vos recherhces sur le web, race de chien avec une longue historique.

    Courriel pour toutes info, acheteur s?rieux svp.

    @Janneke: Sahel is a gorgeous girl! I hope she finds a good home soon! This is what I don't understand.. The pup is about a year old and the owner wants to get rid of her because: "I'll be traveling and working more this year, so I'm finding a new home for a beautiful and sweet female Basenji" What about thinking before getting a dog :( It is possible that the owner has a new job, something possibly unexpected especially with the sketchy job market in the US presently. In any case it sounds as if the owner cares about her and would like to find a good home.

    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.
