Home Needed ASAP!!!

Basenji Rescue
  • J

    My husband recently brought home a dog because the woman who had him was being evicted and had no where to take the dog. I am not allowed to keep a dog due to landlord restrictions.

    I do not know much about the dog. Her name is Princess and she is young. We believe she is mostly Basenji but may also be mixed with a similar breed! She seems to like a lot of attention and she loves to run and play in the yard during the day but seems to be an indoor dog. She likes to go out in the car or for a walk. I feel really bad that I cannot keep her because she is a great dog and warmed up to us almost instantly. I feel terrible since she already was abandonded by her people once but I cannot keep her because of my landlord and I am not sure where I will be living very soon.

    I do not want to take her to the pound or animal control because she is not a little puppy and I am scared that she will be put to sleep since she may not be adopted right away. She is very sweet and loving and I would HATE to see that happen.

    I am looking for a family or couple who can provide a stable and loving home for Princess. She is housebroken and I would be happy to answer any other questions you may have as best I can. We were told that she has had her shots but I do not know how old she is.

    Contact BRAT (www.basenjirescue.org) they have links for mixes and maybe they can help you. Do you have any pictures of her? Where in California are you? Many of the shelters are "no Kill" shelters…..

    Please consider fostering-it is joy to help a Basenji! I have fostered two in the last few years-one a young Basenji who had pups at a shelter and an elderly female whose owners were going into an assisted care facility and were going to have her euthanized within a few days if not rescued. The elderly girl lived a few more years-just shy of her 17th birthday. She had never lived with other dogs before and she was fine with my pack-but my dogs knew that she was older and wanted to be left alone. She was spunky though and would nip at them if they got out of line! If I was not having health problems, I would foster one! Jennifer

    @Rocky1: Don't worry anyone,Dogs are coming home to me here at Jaroufa Hounds. Richard always knew that he could bring dogs back and his son finally found me. Anubis and Anuket will stay with me until a home is found or I will keep them . Kathryn Are they still available? How old are they? We presently have a 20 month old r/w well behaved basenji that we are thinking about getting a playmate for. Brindle is prefered but will consider another r/w or Tri from as young as a puppy to 2 years old male. Thank you Ruben

    No doubt! I'm sure some people think I'm nuts with the amount of baby gates I have. Counter surfing Ridgebacks & Foster B… gate @ the kitchen Sighthounds in general .. gate @ the front door and while Kira was around, gate to my sewing area because it can get darned expensive to replace that stuff! :D

    I feel like people need to be just as careful when choosing a rescue as they are when choosing a breeder. Rescues have been found to be hoarders, to be breeders labelling their dogs as rescues as a marketing ploy, or like PETA, to kill 97% of animals they "rescue". The impression I got of this rescue was that it was not one I wanted to work with because they seemed to hold some extreme views. I am delighted to hear that I was wrong and that this is a good rescue. The situation with the "breeder" is horrible, and I am glad this girl is finally being cared for. I agree that the breeder has earned herself a place in you know where. After Estelle passed away while my MIL was in the process of trying to adopt her she is a little gun shy. It is amazing how attached you can get to an animal you haven't even met. -Nicole

    I wanted to get Roo but I have a couple family members that have been ill and don't want to have to board a newly arrived furry friend. So … we will wait to adopt again.
