@sharronhurlbut:

This is a great group, we are glad you found us.

Well again thank you, and thank you for having me! I look forward to sharing stories and photos with you all in the future.

@LiveWWSD:

Welcome to the Pack…I am sorry I didn't get to say hello sooner. I have been working all my extra time the last couple weeks on rescue work. I just wanted to say hello and welcome. Have you considered a rescue B. You are in an are of the country where their are quite a few in need. If you are interested you can check out the BRAT website at: http://basenjirescue.org

again welcome…. and if you get a chance please post some pics of your BFs mix... we can't get enough of them

Wow, thank you so much for making me feel accepted. Yes, I have filled out a BRAT application so I'm awaiting my Basenji to find me. As soon as I can figure out how to get a photo on here of him, I will post it ASAP!

@MacPack:

I can assure you that Robyn's dogs are wonderful! We drove to Atlanta and back (in one day) to get our BRAT girl Nicky when she coordinated our adoption. It's a long day, but well worth it to get a great dog from a wonderful breeder. And gas is just a little over $2 a gallon!

Good luck to you, the right dog will find it's way to you.

Well thank you, I'm glad you have some positive feedback. Not that I was expecting some negative, but I will see what I can figure out. I did apply to BRAT the other day, So I'm hoping that a little lady comes my way soon! I w ill keep you all updated.

Im still trying to get a picture of my boyfriends dog up here, but I can't get email access at my work to post one!

How I wish I was closer to MI or could get one shipped to me! That would be a dream, I would love to have one and give it a great home. But, alas I do live all the way in FL. I do hope that they all find great homes. And goodluck to BRAT and everyone trying to take in as many as they can and getting them the help and love they need.

@sharronhurlbut:

Brat does work off the applications, sometimes the dogs they have aren't posted on the BRAT list, just moved to the right home.
So, maybe you can go to the library to use their computer to fill out a BRAT ap? That is, if you can't find the dog you want from a responsible breeder.
Just a thought.

Oh wow really? thats not a bad idea, thank you so much. I will definately try to fill out an application as well and try my luck with BRAT. I would not mind at all getting a rescue dog, not in the least. I'm all about supporting rescue groups and humane societies. Thank you!

@Robin_n_Jack:

My folks are in St. Pete! They have what we think might be a b mix, but my parents just insist that she is a black and white curly tailed dog. Just out of curiosity- the lovelyships name caught me- are you a sailor?

Hope you find the perfect b for you!

Haha, well she sounds like she could be one! My boyfriends dog (Flea) was of unknown breed until I told him about Basenjis and sure enough he is a mix! Nope, haah Not a sailor I can barely swim actually. It was out of a song that I really used to like a long time ago and the name has stuck with me. Plus, I used to live outside of Boston and would go in and watch the sailboats in the bay and did think it was lovely;) .

@BasenjiByTheBay:

I know this isn't near you at all, but if you were up for a road trip… looks like basenjis of all ages, even pups, need homes.

Wow, gosh do I wish I could get up to MI for this. But, as well know money is tight for everyone and I just sadly couldn't afford to go up there.:( If there was a way for them to even transport half way, which is not possible they're a shelter, I would jump on a chance in a heartbeat! Thank you for your help though it is imensely appreciated.

@Schouiffy:

Welcome welcome. I love your adoptive spirit!

yodels from Switzerland.
Lauren & Lycia

Thank you again and hello Switzerland, wow you're quite far from me! Haha, well I do love animals very much and would love to give one a good home. I'm holding out for the one that captures my heart. :p

@YodelDogs:

I did respond to you, Jen, though I may be more than 6 hours from you.

I did get your email thanks! Yes, you are alittle far from but hey If it's the dog that I want I will go the distance! Plus, my boyfriend and I have been postponing a trip to Atlanta since September and this wouldn't be too bad of an opportunity to go! Keep me updated on your pups and I am trying to figure out a money situation , ( you know how the economy is righ now haha;) ) and see if we can figure something out for the beginning of January. I do appreciate your prompt response!
