Looking for a new home for my girl

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • I have a three year old red basenji who I need to find a new home for. Due to unforseen circumstances, I am not able to give her the time she needs. I want her to go to someone who loves and understands basenji's. She is very active and very smart. She needs to be with a single person or a couple who can dedicate the proper time to her. I live in Illinois. If you know of anyone looking please contact me so I can get in touch with that person.

    Thanks!!

  • Have you contacted BRAT? They will make sure she goes to a very good home.

  • Have you contacted her breeder? Responsible breeders will want to know that their puppies are in need of a new home no matter the age.

  • Did you have any pictures of her at all? Or a description of what she looks like maybe

    It Took Me 1.5 years of looking and talking to breeders before I was able to get on the waiting list in time to get a pup. You have to start preparing and talking to breeders in the early fall in order to get on the reservation list for a puppy by next spring

    @cathyroy I am not sure what Natasha is doing, if busy or whatever with the holidays. You may be what she wants, but she's got company or otherwise tied up. She did say maybe set up a trial, so give it a few days before getting upset. However, I will make a few observations about the fit. you have small children you say are good with animals, but you don't have one, so how do you know how they will be with one actually living with you? your interest in a basenji is based on their lack of significant shedding. This is not the breed for a family with young children who have little or no experience with dogs. Your husband presumably works, so the dog will mostly be with you and your children. you are wanting to ADD a dog to your family. She isn't looking to give the dog away. Just as you would be careful of who you have babysit your children, she hopefully wants a suitable fit for her dog. For me, that would be someone experienced in the breed or at least a lot of experience with a variety of dogs and is interested in fostering, not taking, my dog. It isn't an easy decision either for her or for someone agreeing to keep her dog.

    If funds are an issues, you can do what I used to do before BRAT came along. Find out the vet of the family your placing him with, have the family pay you for your expenses and then take the dog to the new familys vet for the surgery to be fixed. Drop the dog off the day of the surgery and then new owners pu the dog. They get to pay the bill. That makes sure the dog is fixed, sets up a new vet record for the new dog in the family, and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. Mostly, you know the surgery WILL BE DONE. Thanks for making sure he is fixed before rehoming. That is so important.
