Hearing impaired basenji rescue

Basenji Rescue
  • I am Melody's foster Mommy - she really is a dear. Not so aloof like most of our B's she is very sweet and personable with everyone. Lucky us we hit the jackpot on this girl, even though she's deaf and she does sometimes jump when caught unawares her reaction is not negative at all! Yipee!

    Here is a shot of our lovely girl. She came into rescue with some liver problems and was very thin, she's slowly putting on weight though.

    I can't figure out how to imbed the image so here goes =)

  • She is beautiful! I wish you all the best with her :)

  • Andrea, I couldn't open the site, but I do know what she looks like. grin.
    Wish we could find out why/how this happened to her.
    Maybe someone will recognize her.

    Oh, she will be at the EBC rescue booth sun at the Seattle Kennel Club show.

    Come give her a pet and a treat.

  • Do any of the folks who bred know of b's who have hearing issues?

    Anyone know if/how many of these puppies might be around still? The website listed 6 and shows 1 still available. I also read somewhere (another thread or forum, can't remember) that there may have been 2 litters for a total of ~12 puppies, but the site has only listed 6. Would love to hear from anyone who may have taken the time to visit the puppies or might have more info. We've reached out directly as well and are awaiting further info. EDIT: Nevermind, we found that the CO rescue isn't willing to send puppies this far east. We have found a pup elsewhere from a breeder.
  • Not a Basenji but a dog that should have been rescued

    Reading the story in the first link, I didn't look at the others after that, literally made me nauseous. It's hard to imagine a person could do that to any living creature and I hate the fact that animal abuse laws have not been updated and therefore do not give out as harsh of punishments as they should.

    Yes, they are as I got my current Basenji there last year. They just don't get around to updating their site because they're so busy. You have to email Karen Jones and she will let you know what's current.

    :) :) :) Bumping this because BRAT NEEDS MONEY badly.. please folks, buy a calendar, buy one for friends for presents! Help support the rescue.:) :) :) @sharronhurlbut: Each year, BRAT sponsors a calendar photo contest. BRAT volunteers and adopters submit photos of their basenjis and the BRAT family then votes for their favorites. The winning photos are featured on a calendar which we sell to raise money to help rescue basenjis. Many of the dogs we rescue are featured on this calendar. This year, we had more than 400 entries. The voting for the 2007 calendar has just concluded and I am pleased to report that you can view the top fifty entries on our website at: http://www.basenjirescue.org/CalendarContest/default.asp After seeing these photos, we hope that you will order one of our calendars. The calendars are on glossy paper and are professionally printed. Jacque Holdaway has designed the calendar for the past few years and does an outstanding job–-we guarantee that you won't be disappointed. BRAT calendars sent to domestic addresses cost only $23.00, including shipping. Payment may be made by check or money order payable to BRAT, Inc. There is no limit on the number of calendars you may order. Buy a few and give to your friends and relatives! We will begin shipping calendars in October. We are only printing 750 calendars and when they are sold out we won't be able to get any more---so please order early to be sure you can get one. The calendar project is our biggest fundraiser of the year. All of the net proceeds from the project go directly to the dogs-no one in BRAT receives any salary or other compensation. Last year, we were able to pay vet bills for more than 40 dogs just from the money we made selling calendars. The order form is found at: http://www.basenjirescue.org/CalendarContest/calendarorder.asp Thank you for your continuing support!
