Basenjis on Craigslist

Basenji Rescue

  • And another pup in Atlanta:

    http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/pas/1748473516.html

    Very cute 17 month old basenji, very energetic, fun loving, loves the outdoors and gets along with people, dogs, cats and kids. He is house broken, knows the following commands: sit, shake, leave it, drop it, do your business, stay, get in bed. I love him but I have a very busy lifestyle and want him to go to a very caring family. He is very easy going, he has all his shots and is a pure breed. A rehoming fee of $300


  • Oh, my heavens! I will notify folks in each area.
    Sigh.
    What is going on..???!!!


  • Wow, can't believe so many beautiful basenjis on craigslist. Sending the Jacksonville link to friends in that area who have spent time with ours and know what they'd be getting themselves into. ;)


  • Here are two gorgeous girls in NY:

  • Thanks I will let the BRAT folks know.


  • Wow, is that a prong collar the Red&White is wearing in the house? Looks like it, complete with tags…. and they look older????


  • I hate prong collars, they should be outlawed. Poor b's..hopefully, they will find a home where they can be treasured!

    Depends on the situation and who is using them. While I don't use them, I know many that do and you can also get prong covers (rubber tips that fit over the prong ends). But for the "general public" that have no idea how they are or should be used, I totally agree. And for sure it is not something that should be left on unsupervised.

    ah, they are too cute..a brindle and black/white it looks like..I hope BRAT can step in..


  • The BRAT folks in NY are on these 2. If I hear, I will keep you all informed.
    I don't put collars on my dogs in the house. There are just too many ways they can get them caught, or they tangle each others jaws in them..while playing.
    Re prong collars, most folks don't use them properly. That is why I think you need to take a test to use them..only kind of kidding.
    Also, the one without the rubber tips are just cruel, at least, that is how I feel.

    Hey, I don't disagree with "taking a test" but then I think couples should do that before having children or pets… :eek:


  • Hheee, we are on the same page here..Sadly in our country, anyone can have kids and pets and pretty much do whatever they want to with them, until someone steps up and and says "stop it!"

    I have two beautiful basenji's that I am looking for a forever home for. Both full sisters , 5 and 4. They are very friendly and love people. Both are outside dogs and have never really spent anytime inside. They are smart so maybe they can learn. They are kennel ( crate) trained . They go in the house at night in their crate and they will scratch at the door if when they are ready to go to bed. I would prefer them to go to a home with another basenji or someone who has had one in the past. Though I need to find them a home I am not looking asap and will make sure it's a very good fit. I also want someone who owns a house and will ask proof of that. With all the foreclosures going on I just don't want them to have to find another home. Though they are great with children , I am looking for a home with children at least 4 and up. They will chase a cat and not sure if they will hurt one I know they will chase. SO if you have a cat this may not be a good fit. Basenji's can be very stubborn. Very smart but strong willed. The perfect home would take both but I know that is asking alot so I am open to someone just taking one. I am not sure how they would get along with other dogs, specially girls. They get along with some of my dogs and some of my children dogs but not with others. I have a personal reason I am looking to find them a home and would prefer not to discuss this on craig's list. I do have time to find the perfect home and will take the time to do so. I do not live in the area but travel to Sac , monthly and the weather in Sac is better for the girls then in my area. They love the Sun. Welcome to shoot me a email asking any questions I didn't answer. Very reasonable rehoming fee.

    I'm looking for a forever home for my basenji's . I have two beautiful girls. Both full sisters , 5 and 4. Though I would love to see them go together , I know the odds are low someone wants to take both. I really am going to hold out for someone who has one currently or can prove they did have one. They are a special breed. They are not housebroken….so please remember that . They are completely outside but for night time when they go inside a kennel ( crate) . They are awesome inside the crate. I have never had any issues with children and they are around them all the time. But I do not want them around very young children , just because . I also want a homeowner. So you must own your own home . They will chase a cat , I do not know if they would hurt one but they will chase so I'm not sure this would be a good fit if you have cats. I am in no hurry . There is a long story on why I am looking for a home and I would rather not get into it on craigs. There will be a reasonable adoption fee.


  • If you want the best home for your b's please list them with BRAT, www.basenjirescue.org.
    That group does a great job rehoming b's who need a new place to live.


  • Can I ask you bluntly…why won't you list them with BRAT???


  • PattyM is in Florida and I think she was just forwarding a post from CraigsList. Looks like the basenjis are somewhere on the west coast. I guess you could try the email on the CL ad.


  • Thank you, I didn't open the ad, I just replyed.
    Next time I will check it out further.


  • Sorry for the confusion Sharon, I copied the text from the CL listing so people could see what this person wrote… if there's someone from BRAT that can send an email, then maybe we can open the doors for these two girls. :) I'm not a part of BRAT, just a basenji lover....


  • Patty, thank you for posting this. I am sorry I didn't contact the craigs list person until just this last post.
    I hope they will turn the b's over to BRAT. I sent them a note suggesting that.
    Hugs for your help with any b in need.

    It says it was posted a month ago - no way someone wouldn't have already picked him up.

    He did look like he had short legs but I thought his body was long for a Rat Terrier. I am so used to them having a docked tail and much more white on the body. I thought he may be a poorly bred Basenji. Mansfield is not too far away from the Amish area. I wonder if he barks much! Jennifer

    Jennifer, I meant Pam the breeder here in MA… I figured this might be one of her boys because of proximity to each other... If this is an Eldorado boy then Pam will definitely want to intervene and get the dog back. I emailed her the link and she will deal with it if it's one of hers.

    I have not looked at the ads on puppyfind.com for about 4-6 weeks. Jennifer

    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.
