Basenjis on Craigslist

Basenji Rescue

  • Sorry for the confusion Sharon, I copied the text from the CL listing so people could see what this person wrote… if there's someone from BRAT that can send an email, then maybe we can open the doors for these two girls. :) I'm not a part of BRAT, just a basenji lover....


  • Patty, thank you for posting this. I am sorry I didn't contact the craigs list person until just this last post.
    I hope they will turn the b's over to BRAT. I sent them a note suggesting that.
    Hugs for your help with any b in need.


  • You are welcome. The reason I keep re-posting these CL ads, especially if there's a picture, is not only to place these dogs into basenji savvy homes, but just in case there's anyone here who's lost a basenji, or a breeder who's sold a basenji, or even if there's a chance that one of these listings is a former BRAT rescue (where someone is ignoring the adoption contracts)… well, if you are a basenji lover, chances are, you are part of this forum, and can help these dogs.


  • Patty, your doing a great service for b's in need. Keep up the good work. I just have to pay more attention to the posts you send. grin.

  • Thank you Patty. I send them an e-mail re BRAT. Hope they list their b there.


  • i emailed these people yesterday and suggested they contact Colorado Basenji Rescue. Haven't heard anything, so , who knows.



  • Oh, Yeiks and damn! Free…sigh. Ok, will try to get someone to get these 3 b's.

    hopefully they will all find homes where they will be indoor dogs


  • BRAT got right on it last night, so they saw the post. I am so darn glad we have this group.
    Fingers crossed they can get all 3…it will be heaven for the b's if they are p/u by BRAT.

    Shame on those owners..shame!

    The BRAT coordinator for OK is already working on this.

  • Yea!!!!!!! Good. I just saw this post and it made me sad/mad.


  • Here's a cute black and white basenji in San Diego. I sent an email to them, suggesting that they contact BRAT, or to post on here.

    Need to find a good home for our female purebred Basenji. Sadie is 1 1/2 years old, 20 lbs and completely housebroken.
    My son and I need to move the end of this month into a small one bedroom apt. that does not allow for pets. We need to rehome Sadie asap. Please contact 858-663-1018 if interested in adopting Sadie.

  • Also people should be directed back to the pups breeder as they should take responsibility for what they have breed regardless of the reason


  • I let the BRAT person in Ca know..in case they didn't see this ad.
    Thanks so much for sharing it so we can see what we can do for these b's.

  • First Basenji's

    3-year-old male in Arizona:
    http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pet/1796135294.html

    "Blake is a three year old male Basenji. He is a purebred, trindle colored Basenji (tri color with brindle). We rescued him a year and a half ago, and for the most part he is a sweet boy. He was left in his kennel for up to 16 hours a day from his previous owner. He had issues with his kennel but will now go to "bed" (his kennel) on command, sometimes needs a little snack for coaxing! He normally gets along with our other male Basenji, but there appears to be a dominance issue between the two as they have not been getting along as well. We feel that Blake would be happier in a single dog family where he can get the love and attention he deserves.

    E-mail for details about the re-homing fee. He would like to keep his food dish, bed, kennel. We don't have any problem with that and will include his AKC paperwork as well. (he is neutered so don't get any ideas)"


  • Thanks I sent them a note. Will let BRAT know, if they haven't see this.


  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Thanks I sent them a note. Will let BRAT know, if they haven't see this.

    I would not say that this is a rescue situation. Looks to me like they are responsible people (since they already have a Basenjis), know the breed and are just looking to place this boy in a better situation where there is not conflict with another male?


  • Hi everyone I am new to this forum and have tried many avenues for finding Rocky a home. He is a wonderful adult basenji, 5yrs old, tan and white. I have been "fostering" him for about a year now trying to find him the RIGHT home. I recently joined the Army and I can no longer care for him. I have tried BRAT but they are full.

    If anyone is interested, please let me know.

    It says it was posted a month ago - no way someone wouldn't have already picked him up.

    I had to re-home my darling red/white Basenji named Isis, a 1.5 year old spayed girl, in July of 2012. My living circumstances were economically altered and I could no longer give her the care she needed and deserved. I kept in touch with the gentleman who adopted her but recently found out that he re-homed again without letting me know. He can't or won't provide me with any information regarding the adoption. Astounding to me, as now I am quite distraught. I have all of the vet records for her and wanted to get in touch with the new family to provide information and support. I am not interested (or rather can't anyway) reclaim her, so I don't want said family to worry about that type of situation. I just want to keep in touch but not interfere. I only want to keep in touch and would be most grateful for any response that may be out there for her. I appreciate you taking time to read this and hope that you can lend a hand. I would be in your debt.

    He did look like he had short legs but I thought his body was long for a Rat Terrier. I am so used to them having a docked tail and much more white on the body. I thought he may be a poorly bred Basenji. Mansfield is not too far away from the Amish area. I wonder if he barks much! Jennifer

    I have not looked at the ads on puppyfind.com for about 4-6 weeks. Jennifer
