    OMG That poor little dog, Amazing to see he still maintains that perky little basenji stance even after obviously suffering a huge trauma. I can't even imagine what sort of abuse could cause such massive scarring. It would be great to see him go to a good home.

    Hi I am in NJ although southern I travel around the state quite a bit. I would be willing to look into adopting the dog. Any info you can pass would be appreciated.

    That would be awesome if he gets adopted!!!!

    I sometimes watch Animal Cops on nights when I can't sleep. They've had 2 dogs with injuries like the tri. One was caused by a dog being chained up tightly around his waist like that and the chain had been on so long and tight that it imbedded into his skin. The other had been hit by a car…they thought that was what caused the laceration. In both cases, after surgery was performed, their hair ended up covering the scar.

    Very sad thinking what could have caused the injury to the tri. :(

    I called the contact person regarding the tri basenji. She seemed very nice. They will not adopt this dog to anyone out of state. So, even if I could take in this dog…the answer would be no. They are very strict with adoptions as far as references go...they will not give this dog to anyone. He is doing much better...his scars are healing. She said he was a stray and could only guess where his injuries came from. Don't really want to say as I can't imagine someone purposely hurting him. She told me someone from BRAT contacted her but she does not want to give the dog to anyone without checking them out first. I'm not sure if he is being fostered or in a shelter but she assured me he is being taken care of. Hopefully, someone who is kind to dogs from New Jersey will adopt him soon.

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know if this poor little guy found a home? It makes me sick to think he has been hurt like this.

    I don't see him listed on the MostlyShepherd link. Perhaps he found a home? I hope he's happy.

    This time of your from a responsible breeder you will be hard pressed to find an available puppy, most all responsible breeders have full reservation list for any pups that they had this past year (2020/2021). Please be sure that you check out health testing if you happen to find a puppy... And I would suggest that you contact breeders in the PNW for possible pups for the Fall/Winter of 2021

    Where are you located? There are actually a lot of options. Sadly, as of late, not a lot of basenjis being posted to BRAT. There are other rescues, including a great rescue for basenjis in Florida and California. Also, if you can't find a suitable rescue, please consider young and adults from breeders that they have decided don't fit their breeding plan. They also need and make great pets.

    My gut feeling is if you can't find a dog who is utterly good with cats already, your best and safest bet is a puppy. I suggest you get on a couple of breeder's list and wait for the perfect pup for your house.

    @Basenjimamma: Great update, Thanks to you and all involved, this girl has a future.. Ditto-Ditto. Great ending to an otherwise sad start for the little girl. Good thing most dogs adjust to life so readily-good self preservation tactic!

    If funds are an issues, you can do what I used to do before BRAT came along. Find out the vet of the family your placing him with, have the family pay you for your expenses and then take the dog to the new familys vet for the surgery to be fixed. Drop the dog off the day of the surgery and then new owners pu the dog. They get to pay the bill. That makes sure the dog is fixed, sets up a new vet record for the new dog in the family, and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. Mostly, you know the surgery WILL BE DONE. Thanks for making sure he is fixed before rehoming. That is so important.
