Wanted Basenji in Pennsylvania

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • 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!

  • Congrats with the new addition! We sure love pics :D

    I LOVE his name.. Jacob.. just too cute :)

  • @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!!!!

    The only place I know in the UK that actually requests copies of health certificates from breeders is www.champdogs.co.uk I am sure if there are other sites and or places someone will be quick to correct me, but this is the only one I know. Hope that helps.

    @hyacinthe Have you found a Besenji? I have a 5-month old male Besenji that I need to re-home.

    Where are you located? There are actually a lot of options. Sadly, as of late, not a lot of basenjis being posted to BRAT. There are other rescues, including a great rescue for basenjis in Florida and California. Also, if you can't find a suitable rescue, please consider young and adults from breeders that they have decided don't fit their breeding plan. They also need and make great pets.

    @DebraDownSouth: Still don't know why Debbi is really Terri, but at least I have the dogs sorted. Long story, but all with good reason :-) Teri is a good person and treats her dogs like kings. She does good by them and those pups deserve good homes… sooner than later we hope!
