    I would like to introduce Ricco and Mia from Medfly

    Ricco and Mia came to Medfly shy and scared. Mia is now a love bug , Ricco is still working on it. Quick to adjust, they are looking for a quiet experienced home.

    Medfly Website they are listed under the available basenjis right side 7th down

    The info above is all the I have right now, I am waiting to hear back from Medlfy, should be later today ;)

    Because puppy mills and petstores are so prevalent in Southern California, Medfly often has so many dogs available. It is so sad to see how many people impulse buy a basenji and then just dump them when they become "too much work". And these madatory spay/neuter laws that Southern California wants the whole state to adopt will not help. They can not even honestly evaluate themselves and see how their disposable attitudes have created this problem.

    Sweet little Ricco and Mia were at Medfly when I went down last year in April to adopt Tyler and Zoey. Tyler and Zoey came from a BYB in SoCal who was moving out of the state. Karen and Chuck do a fantastic job matching their rescues to the right people–but unfortunately, this means that some of them are there for quite some time.....like Tyler and Zoey and Ricco and Mia.....the pairs take longer to adopt out. I was worried about taking on two younger Bs when I had only been handling one senior B for years--but am so so happy Tyler and Zoey and I found each other. I hope someone adopts Ricco and Mia soon.

    This is the type of venue that might be the key to get these dogs a home.
    Most of us are basenji loves and we have friends who "might" work for some of the dogs posted here.
    I do so hope so!

    BTW, I also use the shunning method with my basenji. He gets into everything and so I have to baby proof my house. Sometimes I leave a drink on the table and he tries to drink out of it and when I catch him with it, I let him know I am mad! I growl at him and then turn my back to him and he gets very upset. When he does anything I do want him to do, all I have to do is growl at him and he comes over to me bows his head and curls up in my lap. I guess it is an instinctual reaction to submit to his pack leader. He hates it when I ignore him in any way. He is funny, because he will sit down and look at me and whine or try to jump up on the chair with me if he thinks I am mad at him. Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk

    Tegs, Sorry that it took me a while to reply. I would love to trade pics with you. Everyday that passes, I am reminded of the Basenji Code. She is a bolter, I am happy that we have a storm door to help.

    @BasenjiDiva: Wow, Vicki. Although we are down in Savannah, we also have a place up between Young Harris and Hiawassee. Maybe we could meet up sometime. Don't know how our little female hellion would do with your female though. Our male would probably be okay. Also would love to hear more about your petsitting business that you mentioned. When we are up there we would sometimes like to be able to leave for awhile without worrying about the beasties. Pat Hello - Yes, I would love to meet you when you visit your vacation home. razzcinn at aol dot com. I have two female Basenjis that are doing well together, but I, too, would be concerned about another female Basenji. Monday, I'm interviewing a retired older lady who pet sits and she will stay in the home all day and night, if needed. I need a dependable sitter, too. I often babysit for people who would like to go to dinner and get away w/o worrying about their pets. If I can't help you, I'm certain I can recommend several other dependable sitters.
