she may have so many different breeds in her so that it's hard to tell what's in there. But yes, she is a pretty little thing. And look at those looong legs - great canidate for supermodel or agility dog.
28+ basenjis need rescued

here is a pic of our foster.

What a cutie…how is she doing? Sounds like she is in heat...

What a doll… and I would agree, she most likely is coming in season... and most of the Vets I know will not spay until it is over.... as Lisa points out, it is a much tougher surgery for both the Vet and the bitch....
-
OMG! too cute!
-
What an adorable face!!!!!
I would definitely wait to spay her unless you must because of having an intact dog. It is certainly a more dangerous surgery when they are pregnant or in heat because of how much more blood is in and flowing to the uterus.

Zora is the brindle girl and yes, she is very scared, but is beginning to come up an smell hands, legs, hair. She enjoys milk bones and treats. She also enjoys fish oil. Zena is the one that recently had pups (8 weeks ago or so). She is coming around, but slowly. They are both great about going potty on the papers. They HATE the leash, but we'll work on that later. It seems that it'll be a long road, but they'll get there in time. We're patient and willing. They are so adorable. I'll post pix soon.

Susie is soo soo cute! I'm so happy she is doing so well.

I am fostering Zena and Zora. Christie helped me get them from Liz to MI on Thursday. They are doing well. They are scared, but eating well and seem to understand that the papers are for going potty. They've even begun chewing on a few toys and enjoying a couple of treats. We had to get them new collars as the metal was causing a rash to Zena's neck. They both have pretty new pink collars and new Fido Fleece coats. They have VERY thing fur and dry skin. They are so precious. We managed to get a few pix too today. I'll make them a dogster page too. We are going to the vet on the 5th to see how they are and to do a pre-op for getting them both spayed. Maybe Zora will have put on some weight by then!
Thanks for all the support. Christie, you're wonderful! Thanks for your help in the transport.
Oh it is great to hear from you. Those girls were just precious. I cant wait to see their dogstar page and see how they blossom.
You are wonderful for taking them in and loving them. -

Ooh, Im sorry, I thought it was the other way around with the names. I thought Zena was the skinny one and Zora was the bigger gal. Sorry, still give them good pet for me

Well…our dogs are not intact but my neighbors American Eskimo is. They assured me he would only be out to go potty and then back inside unless they are watching him. Susie hasn't quite figured out the doggie door so I am hopeful she will stay inside. I will call the vets office.

The breeders on the forum can help you with any/all the issues that you have questions on, re your girl coming into season.
Hugs dear.
I sure don't envy you. -
Have any of the breeders on this list used Lasers re spay surgery?
I understand that cuts down on blood loss a great deal..but have never had it used on one of my dogs. -
Zena and Zora both have their dogster pages up. You can check them out through the following links.

http://www.dogster.com/dogs/763142I'm so happy for these two. They are so cute and precious and I'm so glad they are free - thanks to you, Suzanne. They look so adorable in their pretty coats. Thanks to you all for giving the rescues a chance for a happy life.

I understand that cuts down on blood loss a great deal..but have never had it used on one of my dogs.I have not used it, my vet does not offer it at this time. It is supposed to be much better because it cauterizes as it cuts so that there is much less blood loss. It is also more expensive because of the expense of the equipment and you may have to search around for a vet that offers it.

I wonder if my vet or someone in my area does.
I will have to ask around.
Just to have the info on hand. -
To My Foster Parent
There I sat, alone and afraid,
You got a call and came right to my aid.
You bundled me up with blankets and love.
And, when I needed it most, you gave me a hug.
I learned that the world was not all that scary and cold.
That sometimes there is someone to have and to hold.
You taught me what love is, you helped me to mend.
You loved me and healed me and became my first friend.
And just when I thought you'd done all you do,
There came along not one new lesson, but two.
First you said, "Sweetheart, you're ready to go.
I've done all I can, and you've learned all I know."
Then you bundled me up with a blanket and kiss.
Along came a new family, they even have kids!
They took me to their home, forever to stay.
At first I thought you sent me away.
Then that second lesson became perfectly clear.
No matter how far, you will always be near.
And so, Foster Mom or Dad, you know I've moved on.
I have a new home, with toys and a lawn.
But I'll never forget what I learned that first day.
You never really give your fosters away.
You gave me these thoughts to remember you by.
We may never meet again, and now I know why.
You'll remember I lived with you for a time.
I may not be yours, but you'll always be mine.For the love of the animals for whom I’ve dedicated my life,
Angela Portera

OMG - they're just beautiful - all 3 of them. If Fiji wasn't so new to us, I would take (especially Zora - her face just grabs me) in a heartbeat. Of course, I promised Karen at Medfly rescue I would be back there when I was ready to expand the family.
Of course, my hsuband is still in the "people have TWO basenjis?!" stage :p even htough he loves our girl already.
