Rescue and breeders working together

Basenji Rescue
  • Its nice to be able to show rescue does try to reunite folks and their dogs.
    Most of us do try very, very hard to contact breeders, owners, anyone we can who can help us track down the former owners.
    Its sad that in some rescue areas, the breeders and rescue DON'T work together for the dogs.
    I am so very lucky.
    We have a great basenji breed club up in the PNW.
    They are smart, caring folks who only produce the dogs they are sure they have good homes for.
    I have only had one person in my area not take a dog back, or fail to offer to help with funds when rescue rehomes their dog.
    So, its a win/win for the basenjis in my area.
    Until we have no basenjis to rehome, I can only hope the rescue groups in other areas work to win the breeders over to helping the dogs.
    Course, some folks your not going to like, or be able to work with, but still, when we keep in mind its all for the dogs…
    Hope you all have a wonderful sun with your families and pets.

    That's FABULOUS!!!! Getting any dog, but especially a basenji, to that level in agility is a big accomplishment.

    I wanted to get Roo but I have a couple family members that have been ill and don't want to have to board a newly arrived furry friend. So … we will wait to adopt again.

    I will forward this to BRAT, but BRAT doesn't pay for dogs…if the shelter wants to release her to BRAT, I am sure they can help her. But thank you for letting me know. I will send this on asap.

    Imo, the difference between a nip and a bite is if the skin is broken and they draw blood. Puppies and some uneducated adult dogs nip…its not something anyone wants, but imo it can be corrected. A bite, a totally diffent issue and something that should be eval. on a case by case event.
