    My father in law has cared for these dogs for years now and has suddenly developed sevier Alzheimers. We are seeking a caring family atmosphere to house these animals for the remainder of their life. They are about 10 years old give or take a few years. I will get more information once things settle out. The doctors told us that he would not be able to go back home based on his condition and just wants someone that will love and care for the dogs.

  • Did you email the poster?

  • no, i'm in colorado

  • Sorry, I didn't mean reply to adopt her, I meant to find out that there were 2 basenjis (i didn't see a number given) or to ask if they know who the breeder is, etc.

  • I'm in Knoxville and volunteer for BRAT so I emailed the owner a link to contact BRAT if he/she is interested in getting help re-homing this pair. I'll let you know if I get a response.

  • I wanted to let you know that i did hear back from the person who posted the Craigslist ad. He sent back a really nice reply that said he was still making some tough decisions in regards to his father and that if he decided he needed any more help he would let me know. He at least has all the info to contact BRAT and my email if he has any more follow up questions.

    You did all you could do for now and thank you. I do so hope he gets back to you nothing mean here but if alzheimers is really bad the dogs are not safe with him anymore. Thank you again for tyring to help.

  • Perhaps the son will decide to keep the dogs. Thanks for contacting them achandl2.

    Some things cannot be fixed. I urge you to get a qualified behaviorist (veterinary) to evaluate him. If he is truly unstable, rehoming him is not fair to him or the new home.

    No matter what size bed you have, the dogs always seem to end up with 3/4 of it!

    He sounds like a very sociable youngster who would like having a basenji pal. I can't imagine having just 1, most really seem happier having a buddy. And while it may not be all roses for the first few weeks, after 3 or 4 months they will probably be inseparable. Good luck! Anne in Tampa

    @knf106: He does have papers, from the ACA. I'm not sure who the sire and the dam are on the papers, because Oatie is not with me (I'm in NJ and he's in DC). Thanks, if you happen to talk to anyone that has access to the papers, would be good to know what they say. And it is good that Tonda, who works for an org. that works with these kinds of problem dogs is willing to take him. Hopefully one of the first things they do is a thyroid test and full medical workup…. and hopefully they can rehab him and be able to place him. I would guess it will be a long road, but good that he is going someplace that has worked with these kinds of behavior problems.
