TX-Houston-Female PB Pups-1 Tri & 1 Black & White F-In Rescue

Basenji Rescue
  • These pups are 11 weeks old.

    I have not contacted the rescue to see if they are still available.

    Here is their Petfinder page:

  • This one has been up for a while. I finally took the plunge and inquired about them just a couple days ago. This is the response I got:

    "The Black and white girl is the only one I have left at this point.
    The guy with the Mother dog bred her to a neighbors male Basenji against his
    wife's wishes. When the pups were about 4 1/2 weeks old she threatened to
    take the babies to the pound. They were too messy. He called me and I took
    them in here. I met the Female she was a brindle and she was definitely a
    Basenji. The neighbor with the male kept one of the pups. Never met the male
    but was told he was a tri colored male.
    Only other Basenji proof I have is that my 3 year old female Basenji adopted
    the litter and has been taking care of them since they have been allowed out
    with the rest of the dogs. :)"

  • How sad is that, thank goodness for the person that took them… and yes.. at 4 weeks they get MESSY!.... The one Tri, look to me like a Trindle instead of a clear Tri. And that would make sense since if the mother was Brindle.

  • I thought the same thing- trindle!
    And yes, so sad…people are really just stupid...simply put

  • I would have suggested the low cost spay/neuter clinic for the dam-only $65 and for the sire only $50 if both are under 30 lbs.! I am glad they were not taken to the shelter-high kill rates in Houston.

    I hope someone can get this girl. A breeder could get the boy in Dallas and this girl in Houston and start breeding this Fall to try to make money. It happens all the time! I wish people who bought puppies would think before they buy. It costs money to take care of dogs. If they would buy from a reputable breeder, the breeder would take them back instead of listing them on craigslist to sell to anybody! Jennifer

    I'm so glad that those girls ended up with such a good home, lucky them, and lucky you too! I really like the dark brindle one, I'd inquired about her, so I'm happy you have her. Now I know where she is. @avdpierre: Now I just need to find names….their names are Shotgun (not a girls name) and Bella. I would really like African names. My last B was Sundiata Ngoma Kibushi. He was the best B ever! I like the name Shotgun, though it may be better suited for a sporting dog, and as for it not being a girl's name, who sez? If it were me, I'd be keeping the name Shotgun, Bella? that would be the name I'd be changing.

    I saw this girl listed again on Craigslist by the rescue group. If you know anyone interested in a young B mix in the TX area, please let them know about this girl. It states no cats but she is good with school aged children! Only $125 for adoption. Here is her Adopt-A-Pet page: http://www.adoptapet.com/pet7480878.html Jennifer

    10 in basenji years is not too old - Digital's best year ever as an agility comeptitor was as a 10 year old. This little girl could still give someone the best years of her life.
