Older basenji, desperate situation needs home

Basenji Rescue
  • Posted with permission from Jack Austin:

    Ben is an almost 13 y/o R & W basenji in the Atlanta area needing immediate foster or foster to adopt. He is a good looking Boy who could easily pass for 5 or 6 Y/o. Ben is very people friendly. He currently lives with a Bichon, cats are unknown. He is not destructive indoors or out, but insist that he go out and potty on a leash. He has never, until now had a fenced yard so his owner has always taken him out to potty. He will not potty in the fenced yard unless he is leashed. He does not know what a crate is. He sleeps in the bed with his owner. He and his owner have been moved to the Atlanta area from California so that his owner can undergo radiation and chemo therapy. They are with his owners daughter and she insist that she can no longer take proper care of him. Ben's owner has been doing his best to care for him but is weak and can't move around well. He has fallen on two occasions while walking Ben.

    Is there anyone who is looking for an older R/W boy?? Transportation within a reasonable distance will possibly managed by a BUR.

    Send me a private message if you can help

    @sharronhurlbut: Yes, Fran, I agree. There is a special place in hell for folks who use dogs and those who love them, to get $$$. BUT they are out there. I hope this is a kind person with a love for his basenji. I agree but I don't think it is one of those since the guy is willing to pay the fees to get the dog to the adopter. I also think I saw something in the BRAT emails about this dog. I know peoples emails have been hacked before but Liz does post here occasionally.

    Taz has been in foster care through the Midwest Dog Resuce Network since he was turned over by the breeder (I believe around 8 months old). He had two sisters in foster care with him for a short time but they were adopted quickly. They were all shown on the BRAT website but were not evaluated by, or in the care of BRAT. He is such a handsome boy, I had given some serious thought to adopting him until they updated his profile to say that "he likes to be the boss". My female B absolutely has to be the boss of all other dogs (!) so I knew this combo wouldn't work out :( Here is the link to the organization caring for him: http://midwestdogrescuenetwork.com/default.aspx
