Basenji Rescue
  • P

    Hi, some of you know about this little guy's story. I have a red and white boy, about a year old, who needs a qualified home in the Portland, OR area. He does not need rescuing, I'm looking for a forever home. I've had him for about 6 months, training him and getting him ready for a good home. His name is Kumba. I got him from a student of mine that couldn't handle him. I already had a basenji and 2 other breeds so I took him so that the rescue wouldn't put him down (he has a slight bite history). I couldn't bear to see a 9 month old boy to be put down with such a history, he spent his first 8 months in a backyard. He is doing very well. He is learning a lot from me and my dogs. He would do best in a house with another dog that is socialized and good with other dogs, younger and energetic would be great. Please let me know if you are interested in adding this guy to your home. Thanks so much. I need to get him a wonderful forever home. Please email me at kevinhilterbrand@msn.com

    @protrainer:

    I already had a basenji and 2 other breeds so I took him so that the rescue wouldn't put him down (he has a slight bite history).

    Could you please give more information about his bite history? How many times has he bit and at what level were the bites rated?

    Here's what I know: 2 bites to one foster mom. The first was over chicken, trying to take it away from him. The second was over going into the crate. I have not seen any aggression over the crate unless you're forcing him in, he goes in great with a little treat, and now we don't even have to do that. He sleeps in the crate and goes in there when he's not supervised or we're not home. I think she needed stitches for both, but she's older and disabled.

    We rescued our current B from Medfly - just north of LA. Karen at Medfly was wonderful to work with and we love our little girl!

    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

    @BasenjiDiva: Wow, Vicki. Although we are down in Savannah, we also have a place up between Young Harris and Hiawassee. Maybe we could meet up sometime. Don't know how our little female hellion would do with your female though. Our male would probably be okay. Also would love to hear more about your petsitting business that you mentioned. When we are up there we would sometimes like to be able to leave for awhile without worrying about the beasties. Pat Hello - Yes, I would love to meet you when you visit your vacation home. razzcinn at aol dot com. I have two female Basenjis that are doing well together, but I, too, would be concerned about another female Basenji. Monday, I'm interviewing a retired older lady who pet sits and she will stay in the home all day and night, if needed. I need a dependable sitter, too. I often babysit for people who would like to go to dinner and get away w/o worrying about their pets. If I can't help you, I'm certain I can recommend several other dependable sitters.

    @BasenjiByTheBay: That's just wonderful, Vicki. Lucky Bailey and lucky you! Thank you for being devoted to rescue. Can't help you with the addiction - I surf for basenjis every few days even though there's no way we have room for more than our two. I was surfing petfinder.com today! Bad. Bad. Bad. I promised I would stop.
