Basenji Rescue

@StevieVallance: http://www.basenjirescue.org/DOGS/CA/CA-Fred.asp Hi, this is my first post. I almost adopted this little guy as a second B because he is such a good and cuddily boy. His owners had a new baby and you know the rest. Yes, we know the rest…. sigh.... hope that he finds his forever home soon!

I would guess maybe Rat terrier, no tail. We have a friend with a Rat who looks almost like my Nicky, except bigger!

When I click on the link for the craigslist ad it says the ad has been removed so maybe they found a home.

Ebay UK sites don't sell puppies, not a good way to find your pup is it :(

I called the shelter at 4:35 p.m. EST today-Friday and they were still available. Perhaps the shelter which is open on Saturday will adopt more out then it will take in! The shelter is located SE of Louisville, KY-about 100 miles, SW of Lexington, KY-about 100 miles and NE of Nashville, TN-about 130 miles. The shelter is open 11 a.m.-5 p.m. CST, Tuesday-Saturday.

It sounds like a very conscientious kennel, wanting to see the dog get a really good home, not just 'any home'.

Patty has recently been adopted and is now living on a farm in AZ. :) She is no longer on the BRAT site. -Joanne

We are lucky enough to have several of the pack in our Sunday group. Last Sunday Butler (Batboy) and Kizzie were there, we also see Kongo (Afrika) and Flash on occasion. Kizzie (5 months old when captured) was always so shy, even at the park she hung back and her folks sometimes had difficulty catching her to leave, but Sunday she was right in the group, ran in a big 23-basenji run, and came right to her 'mom' easily, what a change. It was a thrill to see her playing with the other basenjis and being so close to the humans, coming to her folks to be petted. Wow, what a lucky basenji! Butler (Batboy) was only 8 days old when captured, so he has grown up with humans and is not at all shy, comes right up to get petted and is really bonded with his human and basenji brother (an older "Holland" dog, they look very much alike). It's great that all the adopters have a group to share successes and challenges.

The easier it is for "folks" to find BRAT rescue, the better imo. We have so many b's who need homes. Sigh.

Oh, the old ones really break my heart.

Karen at Medfly stays in contact with people who adopt from Medfly and gives guidance after they take their Basenji home. She's just like a breeder and you sign a contract. If it doesn't work the Basenji goes back to her. You can call her anytime after you adopt as she has a lot of experience with all kinds of Basenjis from the very difficult to the easy ones.

Another Simon Pic. He is such a cutie. [image: attachment_p_128403_0_dsc00009crop.jpg]

I've sent the link along to the rescue people and BCOC people in Canada and Windsor area.
