Sadly im looking for a good home for my basengi mix

    i am sadly unable to give my basengi terrier mix dog the time he deserves. i refuse to give him away to just anyone, he is a great dog, so i keep him. if anyone knows of a loving, permanent home for him id like to find a good home for him. i went from having a teenager to now 3 and one more on the way and the poor dog gets no attention. he is fully trained, lovable and good with other non- agressive dogs. im having a hard time dealing with having to get rid of him, so im gonna be really picky, i just know he needs more attention and time we cant seem to find anymore. it seems like he is depressed, which makes me sad too! he is verry sensitive and smart, also truly loyal. we live in ohio. if anyone is interested sincerely and absolutely loves dogs let me know.
    thanks

    Why can't the teens help out? Seems like good responsible character building. Sigh. Good luck on finding him a home.

    @allyn said in Basenji mix?: Meanwhile I know that like a Basenji, he should never be off leash, and we always need to make sure the gate is securely shut, I have had Basenjis for a long, long time now. I have always let them run off lead in the woods away from traffic. They have all been taught - and I have had up to eight at a time although am now down to one, soon to be two (!) - to return to me if I whistle. Basenjis CAN be taught to run free and to obey commands. Yes, gates should be kept shut, tightly, at all times. But away from traffic, they can be trained to behave and allowed to run free. I have bought a puppy sling for my new boy so I can take him to the woods with Hoover, and let him meet lots of people and thoroughly socialise until he has had his shots. I don't intend to deprive Hoover of her freedom just because of the puppy. He will learn to walk on a leash but mostly he'll be the hunter nature intended him to be.

    PLEASE visit www.basenjirescue.org and take a look at the current purebred basenji rescues availiable and ready for forever homes. We offer transport options where volunteers are availiable. I just recently flew a dog from Texas to Toronto, A plane ticket for $220.00 bought the dog climate controlled in cabin flight, and the adoption was a success. Please email me if you have any questions! BENDA4BRAT@YAH0O.COM

    Welcome! I didn't see a photo, boo-hoo. Funny to think of a goth couple with a black and white basenji, they look very "Count Dracula" in some ways, especially with puppy teeth!

    They are both fixed and I have had a behaviorist in who was helpful in many ways. Willie had developed dominance aggression and deffered (I think I spelled that wrong) aggression. His aggression only seemed to surface in response to the way Rosie picked on him - it all sort of snowballed and anytime we went away and left them with someone else (in the house) something big (and bad) would happen. Willie's aggression has really decreased. He's almost his old sweet self - we feel much better about his behavior. Rosie needs some more work as far as he's concerned, but she's a sweetie with us. We'll keep trying and we haven't given up hope yet!
