Wanted Basenji in Pennsylvania

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • Many dogs out there that need homes.
    Let us know if you do find a companion, or if you need more help.

  • Where are you in PA? I got Jack from a puppy-mill rescue shelter in OH, while i was living in Pittsburgh. Apparently there is an Amish farm in the area with a couple of basenjis and the woman was able to rescue one from two consecutive litters that had both had their ears nibbled on. I found her on petfinder, so maybe you can find one through her as well….her shelter is called something like my young and old furbabies.

  • Well it's official. Thanks to BRAT I finally got a Basenji. His name is Jacob and he's about 2.5 years old. I love him so much. We got him on Saturday and he was so scared and timid. He is starting to warm up and come out of his shell. My wife and I are really thrilled that Jacob is now part of our family. Thanks to everyone who has responded to this thread.

  • Yaaaay what good news! Best of luck while you adjust to one another. Congrats..

    and…we love pics!...hint hint nudge nudge

  • Congratulations! Give him plenty of time and let him come to you, just stay relaxed, talk to him a lot, and try not to push. (that's hard when you want to scoop him up and hug and kiss) If he likes walks, jingle the leash and take him out a lot for short strolls, all that good stuff, and he'll be right at home in no time. Good for you for getting a rescue!

  • @designcrush72:

    Thanks to BRAT I finally got a Basenji.

    Congratulations to you and Jacob for finding one another! I had to laugh at your "finally" getting a basenji. :rolleyes: You first posted here less than three weeks ago, and mentioned that Thanksgiving week would be the perfect time. I'd say that's pretty efficient results on BRAT's part, and not a lot of time to secure the perfect partner for what will hopefully be a decade-long (or longer, Dog willing) relationship. Lucky you!!

    Now, about those pictures…

  • Advice from Sharron was invaluable when we brought Fiji and then Bongo home. You might give this sticky a look when you have a minute - could make Jacob's adjustment easier.

  • It really does work.
    I know everyone is excited when they get a new dog, but calm and slow is really the way to go with a new dog.
    It makes bonding happen so much quicker…
    Let us know if you have any issues we can help you with, and do send some photos.
    Yea, another rescue finds a home...win/win

  • Post some pics already!! ;)

  • congrats on the new family member. :)

  • I just posted two pics of Sakari in 'My baby Bisa' photo album. Will give you an idea of the JRT / B mix she was … She was a terrific dog BUT she DID shed like crazy!!!!

    Hi rachel, I am looking to find a home for my basenji. Her name is Noel and she is 3 years old. She is a very good girl, lots of energy and very sweet. She knows basic commands. She just needs more time than I can give her. My recently had to take on my 6 month old granddaughter so Noel ends up spending tons of time in her crate. If you are interested you can contact me at my e-mail address jwlznewview@hotmail.com. I live in springfield IL.

    Schouiffy, there is indeed a Basenji Rescue in the UK - at times there are sevral dogs there but at present there don't appear to be any but you never know! We are very fortunate not to have as many (even proportionately) to the USA. What a pity it would be so expensive and complicated to take some of the USA Basenjis. There is often a waiting list for rescue Basenjis here so it's often possible to rehome dogs direct from the original home.. Debra - it is unusual for a club officer to have this position but unfortunately the other coordinators resigned and nobody could take on the job. I don't think that there are the dedicated people here that you have in the USA and Canada. I do admire the hard work that is put in to rehome Basenjis there.
