Basenji Rescue
  • Bailey has a new home in Blairsville, GA.

  • That's great! Thanks for the update - did you take her?

  • Yea, good news!

  • Woo hoo! Yes. I'm driving to TN and meeting the lovely rescue mama on Saturday. Bailey will be coming home with me. I saw her on petfinder and couldn't resist another Basenji. I've got to stop this addiction!!!! HELP.

  • well, i don't know anyone on this board that can help you break that addiction. But, good luck with your new family member - and CONGRATS

  • Congrats Vicki! She is oh so lucky. =)

  • Thank you…the rescue mama and I am so excited we found one another.
    Both of us will be driving all day on Saturday and will meet in Lawrenceburg, TN, in front of the Davy Crockett statue in the town square.

    I'm taking my Eski, as co-pilot, and my little Basenji to keep her out of trouble while I'm on the road trip.

    The previous owners kept Bailey outside and she didn't have playmates.
    They had an older Basenji that passed away. Their son bought them a Basenji puppy, Bailey. The couple are retired and elderly, and decided Bailey should be kept outside all the time. When the rescue mama took her, Bailey was thrilled to have company and comforts of home. She does look older, but the rescue mama said Bailey is still a puppy, not quite a year old.

    So, I'll have two young'uns in the house.

  • That's just wonderful, Vicki. Lucky Bailey and lucky you! Thank you for being devoted to rescue. Can't help you with the addiction - I surf for basenjis every few days even though there's no way we have room for more than our two.

  • Happy ending for that little girl :) Can't wait to see photos!!! ;)

    I was surfing petfinder.com today! Bad. Bad. Bad. I promised I would stop.

    He did look like he had short legs but I thought his body was long for a Rat Terrier. I am so used to them having a docked tail and much more white on the body. I thought he may be a poorly bred Basenji. Mansfield is not too far away from the Amish area. I wonder if he barks much! Jennifer

    Here's what I know: 2 bites to one foster mom. The first was over chicken, trying to take it away from him. The second was over going into the crate. I have not seen any aggression over the crate unless you're forcing him in, he goes in great with a little treat, and now we don't even have to do that. He sleeps in the crate and goes in there when he's not supervised or we're not home. I think she needed stitches for both, but she's older and disabled.

    Tegs, Sorry that it took me a while to reply. I would love to trade pics with you. Everyday that passes, I am reminded of the Basenji Code. She is a bolter, I am happy that we have a storm door to help.

    Oh, I don't. I can only "have" 2 dogs, but I sure work like heavens to get the dogs matched from the rescue group to the home. Win/win. worth more than gold to find the right place that cares for the dogs forever.
