Craigs list ad, my fav

Basenji Rescue

  • New favorite craigs list ad…....

    You aren't looking for them, but I found your two dogs
    Date: 2010-02-18, 4:42PM EST

    Sigh. No one is looking for these guys. And I see why.

    They hump everything in sight, try to dominate our old doggies, try to eat our cats and pee on everything and bark at everything. Neurotic, lick constantly. They know no commands, either in English or Spanish. They are aggressive and most likely lived in a puppy mill.

    You dumped them, probably, and we picked them up before they were killed by traffic. Unneutered, no tags, two small males under a year old.

    I hate you, person who dumped these dogs.

    There are no lost ads on phone poles, no lost ad on Craig's list, no lost ad in the paper.

    We put signs up all over, put a found notice in at the local pounds. If you were looking for these filthy little ragamuffins, you would have found them.

    We are afraid to take them to the pound because under stress, your dogs were snappy and horribly afraid, and dogs are judged by temperament for adoption placement. They would not have passed that test.

    However...

    They are, under their filth, mats and horrible habits, adorable.

    They have learned "Quiet," "Come," "Sit."

    They have stopped being so neurotic and we have broken most of their bad habits in just a few days.

    They are smart and sweet and are looking for guidance and WANT to be good little dogs.

    One is a purebred little white and buff guy with an under bite, the other is a brown little dog that looks almost exactly like a miniature version of a larger breed dog. They know each other and were obviously (by the same bad habits) raised (poorly) together.

    We will get them neutered, train them and get them into a good, loving home with people who use the brains God gave them.

    If these are your dogs, come on by. Not so you can have them back. So I can kick your ass.

    He sure did pick up the looks of a Basenji but in miniature form! I would love to see his running style. Jennifer

    Rita, he isn't here. The boy lives on the West Coast - I would give it my all if he can be transported this far.

    Without coming out and saying it, I'm getting that y'all have some info regarding the chances of Fanconi based on his lineage. We're encouraging anyone in our group to be aware of the risks and have him tested. Poor little guy.

    I wish I could take credit for this post, but it's just information that BRAT shares with folks who are either fostering or adoption a basenji. BRAT really does try to cover the bases with inof re new dogs and owners.
