The Florida Wimauma Basenji Story with photos

Basenji Rescue
  • I got to chat with Judge Nick today about the Wimama basenji pack. . He was the presiding judge at the Feb 11th hearing in Tampa, who granted custody to Hillsborough County Animal Shelter. Of course I thanked him for saving the basenjis, saying how wonderful that they would be turned over to BRAT. He spoke highly of BRAT, impressed that BRAT members were in attendance from not only Tampa but from around the country. Awesome !

    We rescued our current B from Medfly - just north of LA. Karen at Medfly was wonderful to work with and we love our little girl!

    @Janneke: Sahel is a gorgeous girl! I hope she finds a good home soon! This is what I don't understand.. The pup is about a year old and the owner wants to get rid of her because: "I'll be traveling and working more this year, so I'm finding a new home for a beautiful and sweet female Basenji" What about thinking before getting a dog :( It is possible that the owner has a new job, something possibly unexpected especially with the sketchy job market in the US presently. In any case it sounds as if the owner cares about her and would like to find a good home.

    Its nice to be able to show rescue does try to reunite folks and their dogs. Most of us do try very, very hard to contact breeders, owners, anyone we can who can help us track down the former owners. Its sad that in some rescue areas, the breeders and rescue DON'T work together for the dogs. I am so very lucky. We have a great basenji breed club up in the PNW. They are smart, caring folks who only produce the dogs they are sure they have good homes for. I have only had one person in my area not take a dog back, or fail to offer to help with funds when rescue rehomes their dog. So, its a win/win for the basenjis in my area. Until we have no basenjis to rehome, I can only hope the rescue groups in other areas work to win the breeders over to helping the dogs. Course, some folks your not going to like, or be able to work with, but still, when we keep in mind its all for the dogs… Hope you all have a wonderful sun with your families and pets.
