Basenji Rescue

Thank you all for the support. I do so appeciate it.

Laugh, its almost like that..I remember one time, I called my husband at work, told him I was headed down to Portland about 4 hrs away, to p/u a dog, and would see him in a couple of days…he was NOT a happy camper I know he was thinking about the gas and room not to mention the chow I was charging Oh, well, got to spend your $$ on something right???

My 2 b's raise thier strip when they see a plastic bag in the middle of the road, or something, out of place… I agree its not anywhere near aggressive. More like concerned. IMO

Yeah, I talked to the foster. She seemed really nice, so I am sure she is in a good foster.

I saw this on the news, what a great story and heroic efforts to bring this dog to safety..just goes to show that even though the world seems full of people that don't care for or take care of their animals, there are plenty people out there that would go the extra mile to help an innocent animal..

I wanted to get Roo but I have a couple family members that have been ill and don't want to have to board a newly arrived furry friend. So … we will wait to adopt again.

More good news. Thank you.

@Basenjimamma: I vote for them some days out of the week and then BRAT the others..sharing my voting wealth.. I just did it today too.. Thanks Petra!

Rest in peace Estelle

Hi, I couldn't find another post about the Florida rescues. Could you tell me some more? I heard something about Bsnjis coming through Florida soon, but I'd love more info. Thanks

That's great news:D

She looks a lot like my Katie. We say Basenji/Shepherd for Katie too. We think Basenji because of her voice, wrinkles, curly tail, avid prey drive, penchant for lure coursing, nightly grooming rituals, and get-into-everything-ness, although it could be any of the primitive/pariah type dogs, so the Basenji could be complete fantasy. -Nicole

Those ears are the best ever! I bet he's a real good listener…NOT!

@Quercus: I would guess boxenji :) That's my thought too. I don't see the pitt.

@renaultf1: Nyla & Tallulah were the other 2 I really liked as well, LOL. :D We've got a good taste in dogs ;)

Are we sure about that? I heard from a friend that he was returned yet again..or better yet that they still had a basenji named Buddy there, today..just asking, I guess I might be confused..

@Janneke: Sahel is a gorgeous girl! I hope she finds a good home soon! This is what I don't understand.. The pup is about a year old and the owner wants to get rid of her because: "I'll be traveling and working more this year, so I'm finding a new home for a beautiful and sweet female Basenji" What about thinking before getting a dog :( It is possible that the owner has a new job, something possibly unexpected especially with the sketchy job market in the US presently. In any case it sounds as if the owner cares about her and would like to find a good home.

Yeah, I am guessing that came from damage at the puppy mill where she lived before rescued by an elderly person.

I pray that their former owner is getting help. -Nicole

Bravo BRAT!
