@SethS Hi & Welcome Seth! Your new girl is gorgeous!! I just love the red & whites and the brindle & whites! My first girl, Darla was red & white so that color really tugs hard at my heart. My second, Dorie was brindle & white & now, brindles tug pretty hard at my heart too but, I know I can't have the darker brindle....too much like my Dorie. I'm not saying I'd get another red/white just because of the color.....there would have to be more than the color! But your new girl is really gorgeous!! I'm sorry about your other one & I'm sure that you look to see if the gate is closed now. It's sad that we learn a lesson like that but I bet you don't have that accident again! Congrats on your new sweetheart!!

Welcome to the forum..I agree with Renault1, I also think she has a striking coat colour and pretty eyes.
Welcome to all of you.
-
WOW - Kizzy is gorgeous - the color of her coat and the beautiful eyes are a wonderful combination, and her expression in the first picture is so intense. Welcome to the forum - I'm sure Kizzie will make a nice companion for Pikachu and a good addition to your household. So good to see the Wimauma dogs finding loving homes.
-
Welcome to the forum. Beautiful Basenjis you have!
-
JoeW and Debbij, welcome to the forum. I hope that Pikachu and Kizzy get on well, it's good to see the Wimauma basenjis are steadily getting their forever homes owing to the caring people on both sides of the adoptions. The colours are certainly striking. I assume these arise from the 'native' mixes?

@debbi:
Hi, everyone,
I am a member of BCOA and BRAT. I have friends on this list and decided it was time for me to join. I also was interested in seeing a new picture of Kizzie. I am so happy she is in her forever home. Best wishes to Kizzie, Piikachu, and the Williams family!

So, are you the Debbie that I first contacted from BRAT about the Fl Rescue Basenji's?
-
Debbi is the major BRAT angel..so probably the one you "talked" to in BRAT.
JoeW. I am so happy that your sharing your info and photos of these 2 lovely b's.
Thank you for opening your home and heart to these b's…. -
Sooo glad these dogs are getting the special love they deserve.
Welcome to Joe and Debbie. Glad you are here with us.
-
:)What a wonderful opportunity to open our home and our heart to such a deserving B. She is doing great. She is timid and beautiful. All the neighbors are asking about her on our walks. I do beleive her coat color and eye color are thorowbacks from the African blood in her. Do other people who have B's ever see their tails wag? She hasn't done it here yet (but hopefully will soon) but we did see her wag at BRAT on Saturday, when she was reunited with her beautiful sister Bibi. (Bibi is in a couple of the pictures I am attaching). I understand she also found a forever home. There are lots of B's at BRAT in Seminole still waiting for their new humans!

Hi, Joe and Trish,
Yes, I am the Debbi that you first contacted at BRAT. Working hand in hand along with Pam in Florida, she and I have placed more than 30 basenjis from the Wimauma Pack. We are now starting to place the young adults. In addition, we have one more available 4 month old male pup in Florida and a male/female pair from the same litter that we have moved to Maryland so that a transport to their eventual adoptive family is easier.
BTW, I have an 8 year brindle boy, Basil, and a 7 year old tri girl, Trinity. I've learned over the years that with basenjis, you can't have just one.

Hi Joe and Trish, Welcome!
We are over in Tampa and have a weekly basenji meet-up, sometimes Kizzie's brother Kongo (was Afrika) joins us and we would love to meet up with you and the kids when you are ready for an outing. We sometimes take a road trip to Crest Lake Park in Clearwater, that might be a good central location! I meet Kizzie when she was at the shelter, what a gorgeous girl, so happy that she has a great forever home! -
Wow, the eyes are so striking it's scary. -
Such striking eyes
-
Welcome to the forum! And please keep us updated - and send lots of pics on their progress…
Kizzy's eyes are mesmerizing and complements her darker color very well... I think she got me hypnotized - I can't stop staring at those beautiful eyes! :p:p:p:D
-
Oh, the photo is wonderful…what a striking b and the eye are something!!!
Thanks for opening your home and hearts to these b's who needed you so. -
Kizzie is settling in nicely. She is doing great with Pikachu and has fallen for our cat "Silver". Planning on going to the Tampa dog park tomorrow (if we don't get rained out).
-
I love the colour of Kizzie, it's so rich. Glad she's settled with you, Pikachu and Silver.
-
We met Kizzy, Pikachu and you guys this morning at the West Park in Tampa - it was wonderful to see Kizzy - her eyes and coat color create such a beautiful striking contrast. Welcome to the dog park, we hope to see you more Sundays. Pikachu is such a cute little girl, it was nice to see how both of them got along well with all the other B's. Kizzy and Pikachu are going to fit in beautifully with the rest of the pack.
-
Great to meet everyone today! The B's are worn out and sleeping.:)
-
Great to meet you too, we do have a nice group of "Sunday Senjis" at West park and your girls fit perfectly. Good to meet John too, with Flash, another Wimauma pup. The dogs seem to have a nice time even in this brutal heat, are much more lively when it is cooler (aren't we all).
-
Lovely to see your pictures (2 members for one look huh?) I love to see them getting on so well with each other - I so envy your dog parks.
