Florida Basenji's
-
So, are you the Debbie that I first contacted from BRAT about the Fl Rescue Basenji's?
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.
-
I love to hear and see dog park pictures, especially when it's a basenji I have helped find her forever family. Kizzie is such a gorgeous girl. I really love her eyes!

Good pictures, Triciaw - we really do have a nice time at the dog park, and your girls make a wonderful addition. Hope to see you as many Sundays as possible.
-
Kongo (Afrika) plans to come next Sunday, it will be fun if he and Kizzie get to see each other.
And we also had Flash, one of Kenyatta's pups, bottle fed from birth. He is a very cool boy and had a blast playing with a b-mix, Coco.
So we have several of the Wimauma pups that come from time to time, Butler (Batboy), Kongo, Kizzie, Flash and don't forget Guppy!
Nice to get a every changing supply of new basenjis in our Sunday-Senji group. Basenjis have such nice humans, too!
-
the other animals needed some face time
The first picture is of a "Serval" and no I don't own him, however they are used in the breeding program for my other cats which are "Savannahs". I beleive my cat "Silver" is able to better relate to Kizzie as they are both a bit wild! With Silver is "Zahara". I also have another cat "Taz" for the next post.
-
Silver has become Kizzies favorite non B friend. Kizzie has not met the horse (Shadow) yet, as he lives off site at a stable. He is the bay thourobred -the first one in the horse pictures. Taz is the big black and white cat and the other cat is "Zahara". As you can see Kizzie has lots of "friends".:D
-
Lovely cats, Triciaw - Kizzy should be very well socialized with everything, getting to know all your animals. She's a sweetheart.
-
Lovely to see pictures of the whole family!
-
Well Kizzie appears to be a Houdini. I am using that special collar/harness that goes around the neck and under the armpits. (as I was told they are supposed to be basenji proof)
Well she got out of it during our walk two nights ago. She got panicked by a person in the area and just backed right out of it. To say I was panicked but KNOW bettter than to chase her would be an understatement. I "acted" calm/normal as she trotted in the other direction. Then Pikachu and I did an about face and headed back to the house. (Needless to say- Kizzie beat us home and was waiting on the porch) thank-goodness she apparently loves us!!! As we LOVE her dearly as well.
