Hi @2baroos , the vet has checked for a UTI and she is healthy. I have tried thunder jackets with her and she tears it off with assistance from her companion. I'm afraid she will certainly remove anything we put on her, especially diapers. We're trying to discourage her from peeing in the crate at all. She used to sleep in a cardboard box that she loved and started to completely destroy it once the anxiety started, now she shreds her bedding and pees on it. I know how this must be really upsetting to her and am trying my best to take care of her.

Hi! My name is Scott, I'm an RN and I live in Tennessee. I had done some research on Basenjis a few months ago, but never got around to becoming an owner. One of the parents of some close friends of mine took a Basenji in from a church member who went off to school. They wanted to keep her, but decided not, and when the subject came up about someone taking her, I jumped at the chance. She 2 years old, and the original owner named her Faith (which I'm not crazy about), but I'm thinking of renaming her Isis. I hope to learn more about care for her in this forum. Thanks all!

She definitely looks like an Isis in my view, very much a goddess. She looks like she has big ears and her eyes are beautiful. Enjoy learning about the Basenji, I have found lot's of info on this forum and very helpful people.

Isis, definitely!
Beautiful girl, glad she found you. -
Welcome… she is very cute. Has she been DNA tested for Fanconi yet? Or were her sire and dam?
-
What a sweet face! Thank you for taking her in, she needs a forever home.
As Pat indicated, unless you have info on the parents being clear, or at least one clear, she should be tested for Fanconi asap.
