Need to give up my Basenji dog

Member Introductions
  • I have a female Basenji who is a about 2 years old. I work a new schedule and I am never home and my poor dog suffers. I need to find her a new loving home. She loves attention. Can someone help me find a rescue in Maryland.

  • Have you contacted BRAT (Basenji Rescue and Transport)?

  • Brat is a great option for your dog and yourself. Contact them, and I know you will get all the help you need.

  • BRAT is Great!

    I also encourage you to contact them… I got my first girl through them and they are dedicated to ensuring the best placement of their guys. They interviewed me numerious times, and came to my home to inspect where the potential pet would live. Not only that, but they spent time educating me on the pros and cons of a basenji (yes, had me look at damaged new couches, etc on internet) then taught me how to be the best parent I could be- and were there for me 6 months later when I had questions. Next, they helped me get my girl.... I think she came from over 3 states away. They organized a transport between themselves in order for me not to have to drive a long way to get her - both thinking of her safety and mine.... I cannot express how much I appreciate all of their efforts as a team.... and I can tell you that if you have to give up your girl, thinking of her best interest first, they will make sure she will go to a good home....

    Did she come from a breeder? Most responsible breeders will/should take back their Basenjis?

    This would be your first option.

    @MacPack: Dusty is darling1 How great that you ignored the trainer and figured out your little guy. They can be so smart that they "fake it" in many ways, making it hard to realize they are deaf, or don't see well. Kudos to you for being such a great mom! Thank you, I think he's a doll myself but I'm partial. You know with him not being able to hear he is very visual and he will watch TV with me. I find that so interesting. He likes animated movies like the ones from Pixar, I can not watch any program with dogs, cats, horses, cows, bears or basically any animal because he starts barking like he is going to be attacked at any given moment. But if we are outside, and we see dogs or other animals he doesn't do anything. Maybe he is just protecting his turf when he's inside. When I tell people that he is deaf, they always say 'oh poor thing' and I always tell them that he doesn't know anything different so he's fine. If he had been able to hear and the lost his hearing that would be much harder for him. But he's really smart and picked up on my sign language very quickly, so he's happy. I'm happy too. Although when he's being a bit unruly I find myself scolding him then I laugh because he can't hear me. Then I tell him 'lucky for you that you can't hear me mister' and I laugh.

    It was actually the vet tech wasn't the most brilliant thing on the planet… needless to say I found another vet the next week and they think she might have some bulldog in her... what a mix. I believe that she definitely could have some bulldog in her judging by the way she lays around the house.
