Hello - New Member

Basenji Rescue
  • I just wanted to say Hi to everyone as a newly joined member of the forum. I am a District Coordinator with Basenji Rescue and Transport (BRAT) and I am especially interested in anyone posting information about Basenjis in rescue or in need of re-homing. I would be glad to assist anyone who would like to refer me to Basenjis in need of rescue from a shelter or that need to be re-homed from their current owners.

    Oh no! Poor Quinn. The past few months have been rocky for him. You really are an amazing person for all you have done and continue to do for him. I'm sure he knows that he is loved now. Sending happy thoughts and hugs to both of you!

    I leave Luny in the kitchen mainly because that has flooring that won't be harmed when he spills the water bucket (I got one of those flat-sided ones that hangs with not a lot of water but he still makes a mess with it). When I leave in the morning it's dark out anyway. Lately he seems "resigned" to having to be in the kennel when I leave for work - he no longer howls and doesn't pee in it and doesn't tear up the rugs much any more (I can tell he doesn't really like it though). He doesn't hate the crate because he'll go in there readily to be fed and look for treats so that's good (EL D never would go near a crate and he would actually destroy one if forced). Luny's still a little anxious when I "disappear" even for short times so I'm not sure I can trust him loose in the house yet but I'll work on that. I leave him a kong with some peanut butter smeared kibbles - he hasn't yet learned (as EL D did early on) to toss the thing around so trying to lick out the insides keeps him occupied for awhile. We're progressing I think.

    I wish I could take credit for this post, but it's just information that BRAT shares with folks who are either fostering or adoption a basenji. BRAT really does try to cover the bases with inof re new dogs and owners.
