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.

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.Location: Vista

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. -
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.

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.
-
Ladybug, I would love to help you out but Florida is a long ways away from where I live. I hope you find a wonderful home for him but I'm already jealous of his new owners.
-
Who in BRAT told they are full?
-
Ladybug do you have any idea who Rocky's breeder is? If so, perhaps they may be willing to take him back?
-
I have never been told that BRAT is full.

Reply to: sale-d7nmb-1873692831@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]Two females and one male, females birthdate Dec. 6, 2003 and the male is Dec. 2, 2002. The male is not related to the females. All three are AKC registered with papers on hand. Selling all three because my nephew is no longer interested in them cause he is roping now.

Wow, breaks my heart when I hear that someone purely "doesn't want their dog" (or any animal) any more. Animals should not be viewed as a 'hobby' that can change on a whim.
As for the other basenji, he looks lovely. We have a calm house, no kids, 3 cats and both adults at home all day. I wish I was in a position to help this fellow out, but the timing is not right for right now as one of our 3 senior cats is in lots of discomfort with an arthritic back. I will send a message out into the cosmos to hope for a forever home for him.
-
I'm really nervous about the second one, actually. It looks like a BYB kit for sale, complete with a run-down looking kennel… "The male is not related to the females."
-
I did let BRAT's OK coordinator know about these guys.
-Joanne -
Its awful to see how these bs in OK are kept..shame on that owner…

My feelings exactly

Has anyone contacted the seller in OK? The city is near where all those OK breeders I spoke about in another thread is located, Stigler, Keota, Spiro and Poteau which is where the Bs are/were available at the shelter. I wonder if these Bs are related. They could go back to the WL's Bs from Tahlequah, OK, that were sold at a couple of dog auctions.
-
I would have no idea what to say or how to approach the owner, especially if the intention is to diplomatically convince him (the nephew?) to surrender the basenjis to BRAT instead of selling them. I admire the person who would be able to do so.
Thank you, Joanne, for contacting BRAT's OK coordinator.
