Male in Rhode Island

Basenji Rescue
  • This is not my dog. I sent a message to the owner asking if they thought the breeder would take the dog back. I also sent a message to BRAT so that they can contact the owner

    Looking for a new home for an adult dog (Rhode Island)

    Our dog is a 2 1/2 year old Basenji who loves to play and have fun. He is used to being around children and other animals. We are looking for a new home for him that has ample space for him to run around in. Currently our home is not big enough for him and he needs a big yard to run around in which we do not have. He loves chasing other animals like squirrels and cats so no cats. He is also well trained going potty outdoors. The only issue is he likes pulling on the leash and taking you for a walk.

    It breaks our heart to give him up but we are not doing him any justice by keeping him in a confined space. I will be very picky looking for a new home for him and will be visiting potential homes before deciding. He is part of our family so we will be very picky until we find the best place for him. Serious inquiries only please. Thanks.

  • I live in Rhode Island and saw this ad when it was posted yesterday. I too had emailed the family but have not heard back. I did forward the posting on to the local area coordinator for BRAT.

  • Please let us know what happens to this boy.

    Those injuries were pretty horrific. It is heartbreaking to think of the pain the dog must have gone through but it is heartwarming to see how he has adjusted.

    Sometimes BRAT will transport or ship the dog if meeting is out of the question, shipping at your expense..but that is so worth it, I think.

    The skunk story is hilarious.

    Dmcarty, I am very sorry too, and very disapointed. The kids had one thing after another and once it was "my" turn, I was too pooped. I wish I would've gone, it sounds like it was great. I am glad you made it down here and back home in one piece, even though there were some problems along the way..

    That's Gunner. I contacted his people several weeks ago to inquire and he is not in a kill shelter. He's in a rescue program (not through BRAT) and he "does not need rescuing from a rescue". Just an FYI…
